I was born in 1981 at a private hospital in Melbourne. I believe Mum was induced when I was 2 weeks over due. Her waters had to be broken and she says that they hit the wall but I don't know if that's true She kept saying I was coming but the staff kept putting her off, wouldn't call my Dad or her OB as they thought I was hours away...she proved them wrong!

She had retained placenta and was extremely ill for the first few days after I was born. She was out of it and couldn't hold me or anything. When they finally brought me in to her she was seeing double and freaked out that she'd actually had twins
