I was born in the birth centre (I think!) at ballarat base hospital in 1990. Mum used has for pain relief and birthed me on her knees on the bed, leaning over the bed rail. It was a double bed apparently and dad got to stay with her while mum was there recovering Apgars 9 and 10.

My brother was born in 1992 at ballast base, in the birth centre, in the same room, and he was delivered by the same midwife. Mum had gas and peth and my brother was pretty unresponsive when born, apgars of 4 and 8.
