I was born in St Marys Hospital Manchester which used to be right in the middle of the City Centre. But I have two younger brothers who I can remember were born at home and delivered by the local midwife Sister Ross. Davex

I was born in Lexdem Road Maternity Hospital in Colchester! It would have been to hectic for my mum to have me at home being the youngest of 5!!...lol We left there when I was about 1 and moved to Germany for 5 1/2 years! Susie xx

I was born at home, 56 Marlborough Street Gainsborough I don't remember Gainsborough at all cos we left when I was 2 or 3! Julie xxx

I was born at home at the top of the landing . my mother said that i came so quick she didn,t have time to ring for anyone . Cath

Susie - So you're an Essex girl??? I was born in a hospital in Athens. I have NO idea what it's called but I do know it's greek for Mother!

Hi Dave! I was born on my great-aunt's sofa (allegedly). No idea why, especially as my older sister was born in hospital, and birth mother won't tell me. Don't think there's anything sinister, she just likes being secretive lol! Mandy :) xx

I was born in hospital in Tel-Aviv. I had two of my children in hospital and two at home. At home was a great experience, I would recommend it. (If your doctor agrees!!) My experiece in hospital was good too, it has to be said. Deanna X

Hi Dave...nice to see you :-) I was born in hospital, as were all three of my children. Yvette

I was 12 when my youngest brother was born, I was shamed to death my Mum was having a baby lol!! Davex

Oh heck Dave....my older two were 11 and 13 when i had my youngest...i wonder if they felt the same??? Will have to ask them tonight :-)

i was born in green bank hospital which was a maternity hospital,but when my son was born we were in darlington memorial hospital. my other three children were born in st marys hospital portsmouth,the gp unit accually.

I was born at home - the midwife lived next door!

Maybe it was a male thing Yvette, my two daughters were 13 and 11 when my son was born and they were brilliant just like two little mothers. Dx

Told you before, Dave - I was born in the Workhouse! LOL Well, it used to be the local Workhouse, but it had been up and running as a hospital by the time I came along, not long after the NHS was launched. ( I used to have a Medical Card with just a 3-digit serial number on it .) CB >|< X

Morning everyone.....I was born in the front bedroom of my home, at tea time....the midwife was more interested in putting her hat on straight, than the cord that was around my neck!!!!!! same midwife looked after me and my new born daughter, some 19 years later, she said I hadn't changed much??????lol.......Lilly

Perivale Maternity Hospital, not there anymore, behind the back of Tescos which was the Hoover Building, both mine born in Hospital (better and more choice of Class A drugs :-)))

AW, C.B. You pinched my answer - I was Born in a Workhouse too - and I've got the autobiography I had to write at school when I was 12 with that as a title, to prove it! Workhouse in Billericay, Essex - then St Andrews Hospital, now posh houses, I understand! LOL! Sue (in NZ)

Hi Dave, I was born at home in those days only the 1st was born in hospital/maternity home, the other babies were born at home, but all 3 of my boys were born in hospital, glad to say they had the cleaning up, and me I just went to a clean bed and slept. :))) Bev

Sorry, Sue! LOL I was born in St Giles Hospital in .... bet you can't guess! Camberwell! CB >|<
