The book I'm reading is by a psychologist who hypnotically regressed a lot of people to re-experience how they felt at birth. Here are some of the replies, paraphrased, not quoted.
It's too damn noisy. This is driving me nuts.
It's too bright. What a pain.
My mom is asleep. I want her to hold me. I'm lonely.
The medical staff is so unconcerned about how I feel.
I can sense how my mom and dad, and the doctors and nurses, feel.
I'm cold!
I like being washed up and wrapped in a blanket.
My head hurts from pushing.
I'm glad to be able to move my arms around.
My mom is awesome.
My dad is happy.
Uh-oh, they're finding out that I'm a girl. They didn't want that.
The doctor is happy and called me a fat boy.
I'm very afraid someone will drop me.
I'm angry as hell and screaming. I didn't want to be born yet.
Gives you something to think about, next time you witness a birth. The baby is actually THERE. And reacting to what's going on. Having feelings and fears. Not just a crying lump.
One of the babies, upon getting smacked by the doctor, said "That was unnecessary."

I find it interesting, but had to lift a brow at the "I'm afraid they'll drop me" concept. That sounds more like a thought that the adult has about seeing themselves as a baby (whilst under hynosis). . .it cant (surely) be the baby's actual thoughts! They've been in an amneotic sack for their entire existance until birth and have no concept of height/gravity or actually being "dropped". Interesting all the same :-) -

Oh, Polar, I left out a lot of reactions that would really cause disbelief. The "afraid they'll drop me" was the tamest of them. You really hit on something when you mentioned adult thoughts. Some of these reports seem very adult. Like the baby who said "I don't trust Romanian doctors." (ok, I made that one up) -

I find this concept a bit hard to swollow there Lbno. I don't think that any new born infant would "have" a vocabulary that fit any of this at the time of birth for one, and for two, I think they would have a sensation/feeling, but that is it. But, interesting enough for me to comment. Na, I was just here to see you! hehe.... -

Correct me if I'm not following (because it's late in Aus and I've got a few beers under my belt), but although the thoughts sound "adult" the concept I think has some legs if you believe in reincarnation. For instance, if we really are reincarnated souls then we do have a vocabulary which is what is expressed during hypnosis...I certainly haven't done a lot of reading on these topics - which is why I love your blog lfbno =) because you keep me captivated - but personally I think that the soul is neverending, and keeps being "recycled" if you will through the ages...I feel quite positive that my dreams have exposed me to snippets of past lives (and I swear that has nothing to do with the beers I enjoy so much!)I quite like the idea of an infant's first thoughts if for nothing more than their innocently comical value -

Yes, pretty Stephie, it's about reincarnation. -
phoeby said on Apr 12, 2008....
also, it's the interpretation of the people being regressed, this language is actually their language not the language of the unborn child or the child just born. of course they don't have vocab, they are not at all developed cognitively. but they have feeling and senses and knowing. so what happens is the person being regressed feels this or knows this and then interprets it according to their own level of cognition.it's not the baby doing the talking. it's the regressed person interpreting what the baby senses.phoeby. -

I once took a weekend course in hypnosis. Also, I bought some tapes by a great hypnotist, telling how to really hypnotize people deeply. Never got the hang of it though. I tried going to hypnotists to do this sort of thing, age regression, past lives, life in heaven. But the results weren't as much as I hoped for. I don't think I'm a very good hypnosis subject. When the hypnotist says to get comfortable in a chair, I can't even do that right. I feel squirmy. And that's the very first thing they do. -
