You'd be more likely to be an infant caught up in the absurdly high child mortality rates of the time.

Conversely was 1700-1800 the best time period to be alive?

To be quite honest I'd take fighting in a 18th century European war over a 19th or 20th century European war.

Industrial total war is the most brutal thing the world has ever witnessed.

You could never have been born in any previous age, or later age for that matter. If "You" would have been born 100 years prior, then "you" would have had different parents, been born in a different location, had a different upbringing with different friends and different toys and different culture, thus that would not have been "You". The You, who is reading this right now, could only have been born in the time when you were in fact born, for this reason, where every moment in your life so far, lead up to reading this post.
So it's useless to speculate what it would have been to be born in an earlier age.
