The Birth of Ben



I entered hospital the evening prior to the birth.  I have always had my children in a private hospital.  I had requested share accommodation but unfortunately this was not available - only a private room or a ward.  I did not feel that I wanted to be in a ward following the operation so opted for a private room.

My anesthetist came in to prepare me for the operation - I have always had general anaesthetics.  I had a reasonable night. Still wondering whether I was going to survive this operation. The next morning I was taken to theatre to deliver my child.  My husband and youngest daughter waited outside for the news - a boy or a girl.

Our baby was delivered at 8.30 am on the 16th July 1985.  He weighed 6lbs (2.760g) and was 19 inches in length.  The tubal ligation was performed.
