1. I was born at home with the help of a midwife.
After my older brother's birth was so easy on my mom, she decided to do mine at home.

Or course, my brother was a little small, 6 pounds and change, whereas I was about 10 pounds when I was born... :P

Whoops.

3. At home.
I never was in the hospital for anything until I had my first child. Even had my tonsils out in the doctor's office.

5. I was born in a doctor's office.
And afterward, my mother and I spent two weeks in a convalescent home.

This was in 1946 in rural Michigan.

My two older sisters were also delivered in the doctor's office. Only my younger sister was born in a hospital.
