Reba McEntire Shares Her Touching Yet Tumultuous Birth Story As She Turns 70

Reba mcentire 70th birthday

Country music legend Reba McEntire is marking a milestone birthday as she turns 70. The Grammy-winning artist behind such hits as “Fancy” and “Does He Love You,” took to social media to share her thoughts on her birthday. In a reflective mood, she posted the difficult circumstances of her birth, a glimpse of her early life that she has been silent about over the decades.

Reba was born on March 28, 1955, in McAlester, Oklahoma, and her birth was far from smooth. Her mother, Jacqueline, was already worn out from caring for two young children when she gave birth. Reba says that her mother’s water broke in the middle of the night, but she was too tired to do anything about it. Instead, she simply changed her nightgown and went back to bed.

Reba revealed that her father, Clark McEntire, had to drive her mother nearly 30 miles to the hospital. Once there, things became even more complicated when doctors discovered that Reba was in a breech position, requiring intervention to ensure a safe delivery.

With limited medical resources available at the time, Jacqueline endured a dry breech birth with only gas for pain relief. Reba acknowledged the strength of her mother, humorously adding that after all the struggle, she still kept her. “…so glad she did,” her caption read.
