Is there any evidence to suggest that...

[Jaysey]

Children born via an elected c-section and therefore who haven't had such a traumatic time during birth remember their past lives easier. I remember reading somehwere that the trauma to the baby during childbirth can often make us forget our past lives.

Has any research been done on this area??

Interesting question. I was born by c-section, and I recalled a past life when I was about 4 or 5. My brother and sister were both also born by c-section, but neither of them spoke of past lives. It is an interesting concept.

In my house, it is my first daughter, who was born natural and had a VERY traumatic birth, that recalls her past lives.

My second daughter was born C-Section, and doesn't speak about past lives or say thing to suggest past lives nearly as much as her sister!

Now, there IS a big difference in the 2, that some have suggested related to their birth experiences.

My 1st child is the one who had had MOST of the health problems. The 2nd one has never even had an ear infection! The 1st one is EXTREMELY sensitive and (for lack of a better term) needy/clingy. The 2nd is VERY independant and right from the word go was never as much "work".

My younger daughter slept through the night IMMEDIATELY and was always a very contented little baby. By contrast, my older daughter STILL doesn't sleep through the night and was an extrememly fussy baby for her 1st few months of life!

All of these things, it seems, DO relate back to their births! The 1st being very traumatic (we almost lost her) and thus taking her longer to get over! And the 2nd, being a very easy transition (for her at least) therefore she maybe had a less frightening view of our world, making her more accepting of being here!

Does that make sense?

hmmm, interesting topic. i've always wondered about birth conditions and temperaments as babies or young children come from past lives. I was told I had a hernia operation not long after I was born. (on a past life chart I had done it said I likely died from a fatal disease that the doctors didnt detect and it came quickly possibly kidneys or something in that area I died in 1952 in that life) my parents said that I was an extremely fussy baby and did not like to be held, even as a child I hated for anyone to fuss over me or worry about me. (my friends have always told me I have sort of a forecful/domineering/assertive/extraverted nature,) I was never comfortable just sitting on the sidelines of life waiting for things to happen. I remember my parents saying when my brother was born he was always getting into things and was kind of posessive.

I've heard stories of people's births relating to their deaths in other lives.Example:A baby born with the umbilical chord tied around his neck recalled being hung to death in a past life.Has anyone else had experience with this?I don't remember what my birth was like but I was the biggest baby in the hospital lol.

Thanks everyone for yr responses. I have 3 children my 2 daughters had very traumatic births. I asked my eldest daughter once when she was 3. Had she ever been big and she told me she was a pirate. She also used to talk about a girl(imaginary friend)called Kikki?? we never found out anymore but she told us Kikki was African and used to visit her. My youngest daughter is only 4. She has never mentioned a past life but has had a fear of buses, cars and lorries from a very early age.
My son was born by elected c-section hence my question but is only 5 months old so too young to tell yet.

I myself suffered a traumatic birth and although I cannot recall anything in detail was a very fussy irratble baby. I had many night terrors involving snakes. Also when I was young spoke to my parents regarding my bad legs saying I couldn't walk becuase of my bad legs noone could make sense of this as my legs were fine.

I mentioned on the adult board something else I had as a child whcih was an image of a stone colom/wall with a sculptured lion one and writing like lines. I had this image for many yrs when I closed my eyes and a feeling like I was floating upwards against this wall. Have just read an article from the book Past Lives by peter and Elizabeth Fenwick in which someone had the same thing happen ie image when they closed their eyes so glad to hear I am not the only one.

Hmmm, I had twins by C-section that never remembered any past lives, they did however communicate in the womb and had a telepathy thing until they were 2.
They were the best/easiest babies I ever met!

My 3rd DD was born naturally, was hard baby, very active in the womb, and has MANY past life memories. We were in a used book store today and she about flipped when we saw a chess board! She told me she would teach me to play! She is 4!! She had to go touch it and just smiled ear to ear!!

These things happen all the time with her!
I think it just depends on the soul of the child! I somwetimes think my twins are new souls, and DD#3 is a very old soul!!

Interesting question!

I don't know the answer or have an opinion, but I'd like to say that c-section births are generally harder on children physically than vaginal births.

Statistically, c-section children have to be recussitated more than vaginally birthed children, have more problems getting started breathing, have more fluid in their lungs, have a more difficult time nursing, have more drugs in their system and generally have a rougher start to life.

It might *seem* like just being lifted out would be easier, but it's not. The squeezing contractions expell the fluid from the lungs and the adrenaline rush in the baby's system prepares it to deal with the shock of being born, and switching oxygen sources. Also, breathing is more difficult if the umbilical cord is cut immediately - if it's allowed to stop pulsing naturally, it is a back up source of oxygen for the babe as it begins to use it's lungs. Babies who born by c-section are immediately clamped and deprived of that alternative source of oxygen, in addition to having a tube inserted down their throats into their lungs for deep suctioning, so they gasp for breath and have to deal with all the business of breathing immediately. Plus, they are usually taken to the nursery for "observation" (meaning they are put into baby buckets and stored until convenient) instead of being given to mom right away, so they miss alot of that immediate comforting and bonding time, and they generally have more tests done on them to make sure they are healthy (or not).

So, babies born via c-section *generally speaking* have a *rougher* start to life.

I had a horribly traumatic vaginal birth (twins 10 weeks early) and I remember 4 past lives and have glimpses of two more (I think). I'm not sure the manner of birth eliminates or accentuates pre-birth memories!
