I was almost 3 weeks late, but was born 5 lbs and "dead." (Mom heard the nurse say, "Oh my G_d, the baby's black.") I was kept in isolation for 3 days, no one even speaking to my mom about me. When her regular ob-gyn came in from his vacation he asked her how she liked her new daughter. "I don't know. I've never seen her." He raised holy hell and Mom was allowed to see me.
