170 **CHAPTER TITLE HIDDEN AT END 2/3**

POV ???

I never thought I would say this, but being born definitely tops the charts as the worst of all the experiences I've gone through. Feeling my new mother's muscles contract to push my new body out was something I can honestly hope to never go through a second time.

I wish I could say everything went well with my birth, but I was already fighting for my life from when I squiggled for the first time in my mother's womb. The reason being my umbilical cord was tightly wrapped around my neck, and no amount of struggle on my end seemed to be able to free me from its clutches. For weeks I worked at losing its grasp, and in the end, unfortunately, I ended up contorting my body in a strange position, robbing me of what little movement I had.
