Finally, I found someone that can get my family off of my back. *thinks hopefully*
I have a similar problem, though not near to the degree that you do. In my case, I was born two weeks late, at 3 pounds 11 ounces. But, it's been a family anecdote to talk about me being the smallest baby in the family in God knows how many generations.
It's shadowed my life enough to tell it now. But, I keep no connection of my own to that story, because it is a recollection of events that happened before I was old enough to remember. It doesn't concern me, just as you feel (and I agree with you too...) that your birth experience has little to no connection to you.
There are (ASAIK) no lasting mental or physical effects of being born small. We all grow up. Now if the maximum size a hypothetical being could grow was directly proportional to their size at birth (individually, not by race), then I could see relevance of this event to keep on you throughout life. But, it isn't.
Anyhow, the reason why I went on this tangent is because I agree with the other comments, but I have little to add directly about writing articles. I agree with the advice given you, and I just had that other take to present.
