Babies delivered via C-section show different microbial profiles than those born vaginally....Where as vaginally delivered infants are colonized at first by fecal and vaginal bacteria from the mother. There could be a connection...Has anyone ever poll this?Why do you want to know?
Hey Firestormm, Ok, you poll normal birth...I want to ask you..Is your mother healthy or sick?
Ok good to know...I was born at home delivered by a midwife. My mother was not exposed to antibiotics before I was conceived. She wasn't on birth control at any point.
The next thing I would want to know is... Do you have mercury amalgams? The reason I ask is...Mercury can have a impact on gut bacteria as well...I was born at home delivered by a midwife. My mother was not exposed to antibiotics before I was conceived. She wasn't on birth control at any point.

The next question would be....Was your birth mother exposed to antibiotics a short time before you were conceived? Also, could birth control pills laced with tetracycline antibiotic be a risk factor?
I came two days late, at a hospital, vaginally. My mom pretty much delivered me herself since her roommate (also in labor) was belatedly diagnosed with a broken tailbone. Ouch!
No antibiotics, and presumably no birth control, since the wedding came several months after the conception But my mom is Rh- and my dad is Rh+, so she was given an injection (containing mercury) to prevent an antigen developing against future fetuses.
Both parents were living on a farm at the time, and my mom was very much into natural and healthy living.
