I was born in Elsie Inglis hospital in Edinburgh......now no longer there sadly!

I was born at Ilkeston Maternity Home though Mother wanted to have me at home. Brother and sister were born in Nottingham Hospital. Joy

I was born in Fairfield Hospital Bury Lancs, but my sister was born at home in Middleton Manchester, there was a little problem with her when she was born and the midwife had to call the doctor out just to cover herself if anything went wrong, he was very annoyed at the time as he was just on his way out to watch Manchester United play.

think I was born in a maternity home, whatever that was. Older sibs in general hospital (I was always different). But Dave, you're forgetting other locations - on my ambulance driver uncle's last shift he delivered the last in a line of about 30 babies over the years! :-)))

I was born at home - in Harrogate, but arrived before the midwife, so a neighbour who had 7 children helped. When the midwife arrived, she told my Mum off for not waiting for her!

hi Dave, I was born at home, In the front bedroom, our family doctor delivered me. It was a 2 up 2 down terraced house, outside loo too!!lol I have the best memories of that house , there was so much love in it:-)) P.S its still standing ,When Im back in Manchester I often drive down that street, and the front door is the same one!

I was born in the Shrubbery !! No, not the green, grassy sort - it was a maternity hospial in High Wycombe.

I was born....that's all I know, as my Mother would not discuss such matters. lol. How things have changed. Beryl x

I was born at my grans,but because my twin had been stillborn we didnt return back to my parents home for over a month

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

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

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)

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 :-)))

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

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

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

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

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.

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