1. Those are methods of conception, not conditions of birth, aren't they?

Good morning, DSB! :hi:

3. I exhausted my knowledge of all things childbirth related in my last post.

No joke.

4. The Whole Birther Thing Got Me Interested

Maybe "natural born" means born not in a hospital.

Did you know Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital?

5. It would be just like the birthers to contest a president's legitimacy

Just because he was in vitro, so not a 'natural born citizen'.

That would be pretty entertaining actually.

11. Technically, one is not 'born' until you come out of the womb and breath

on your own without the support of the mom.

15. Most consider "Birth time" as time of complete separation of infant from mother's body

Edited on Sat Aug-01-09 08:11 AM by panzerfaust

... though some use time of umbilical cord clamping. This latter gets complicated by the cord being clamped prior to birth in some instances, and by delayed clamping of the cord in others.

In any event, time of first breath is NOT time of birth.

If you doubt this, please consider that the Apgar score, recorded at one and 5 minutes AFTER birth, has as one of its parameters whether or not the newborn is breathing.

A significant percentage of premature, depressed, infants do not breath on their own until long after birth, being supported by mechanical ventilation or ECMO (ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenatator).

16. Hell I am

I was born at home. I can still take you to within a couple feet in space, east, west, north and south where that eventful happening happened.
