My older sister was born in July 81 at Royal Women's in Sydney, via emergency c/s due to failure to progress. When she was born they found that she had Spina Bifida and sadly, she died at 7 and a half weeks old.

I was born in September 82, at Royal Women's in Sydney. Forceps and 'minor' pain relief... not sure what minor consists of, Mum has never said what she had.

My brother was born in May 85, at Armidale hospital. No pain relief, complately natural birth.
