my brother was born in 1977 at 44 weeks - no induction, no drugs
Wow, so many mums going over 40 weeks back then!

I was born in January 1986 at Dubbo Base Hospital NSW (Dad was a miner and we lived in a mining town 3.5 hours west.)
Not Cobar by any chance? LOL (it's where we are living at the mo!)



My mum had 3 classical c/s's. We were all born in Auburn Hospital in Sydney. I'm not sure of all of the exact details though.

Brother #1 was born after 40wks I think. Mum had apparently been in labour for a few days, but was getting nowhere with birthing bro, so she ended up going in for a c/s on christmas night, after her OB had had his chrissy dinner! He was fairly big, about 9pounds or so. That was in 1969.

Brother #2 was born very early, at about 31/32 weeks. Mum went into preterm labour and the docs couldn't stop it. Brother was born via emergency c/s. Apparently he was tiny and very very sick. They didn't expect him to live. He was baptised that night with the expectation he would die. Obviously he didn't! That was in 1970.

I was born in 1978. About 6 or 7 weeks early. Again my mum had been in labour for a few days and the docs tried to stop it all, but couldn't. I was fairly big for my gestation, about 4-5pounds I think.
