My sister (29 November 75) was breech, and well and truly overdue. Mum was actually in hospital for the the Whitlam dismissal, so she was in for ages. I think she was very puffy so they were watching her for toxaemia and pre-eclampsia. The threat of a c-section scared my sister out (apparently they wouldn't induce a breech baby). Mum had pethidine but had a vaginal birth after about an 8 hour labour. Bega District Hospy. She had an oversupply of milk and my sister was a slow feeder so it was an unhappy, short bf journey.

I was way late, due around 20 April 78. Mum was hospitalised again (Mater Hospy in Forbes) beforehand. I was induced on 2 May. Pethidine again, about a 7 hour labour. I was all flaky, shriveled and yuck I was an eager feeder but Mum's milk never came in.

Mum's 2 late births and my sister's overstayers made me think I'd go late term with my bub too. Hahahahaha Love to break the mould!
