“ I had two children at the hospital, 1970 and 1972. I have no recollection of my first birth! Taken to theatre at about 7pm for an ‘investigation’ ( no contractions) woke up in a bed in the ward with baby by my side in a crib at 11.30! Was moved to a corrugated hut in the grounds for 10 days before I was allowed to go home.
Second birth was normal. I would give anything to find out the details of my first birth as I always was so ashamed I never questioned it at the time as I was so very young.
It was only as I grew older and talked to my daughter when she was having her own family my desire, and hers, to know became imperative! I have tried to track any records to no avail!! Any one answer my question?! Please. ”
