memories of my birth , false memories yes, actual memories no. during my childhood I heard the story of my birth and what went on with me and in life in general during my first year of life. thanks to the telling of all this information during my childhood my brain conjured up false memories where for a long time I actually believed i witnessed these events, emotions, behaviors... but when i actually tracked down people, places, medical reports and such it turned out what I thought was my memories of my birth was actually other peoples ....opinions and conversations.... of my birth and happenings. some were so grossly exaggerated that the facts, emotions, actions did not fit with what really happened. brain scans showed my newborn brain did not have the amount of neuropathways established to ensure long term or short term memory. the way the human brain works is as a person experiences events and emotions their brain forms neuropathways. as a newborn the extent of my existance was basic biological eat, bathroom and sleep, therefore thats all the neuro pathways I had.

my suggestion would be to contact the hospital of birth. they will have accurate records of a persons birth and what went on during those first few days. then you can match those with your memory and other peoples accounts. this will tell you what is actual birth capabilities for birth memories ad what is a persons brain conjuring false memories based on hearing family and friends retelling of the birth and subsequent few days after birth. doing this really helped me in establishing the difference and what I actually was remembering of my birth.
