I was advised by my doctor that within a week my baby will be born. I was shocked but very excited as i really had had enough of the pregnancy. I was really uncomfortable and was lucky to be sleeping 3hrs a night due to insomnia. I was told that the reason for the induction […]

Well we finally had our little boy! I made it to 36+6 weeks. It was an amazing achievement considering i thought so many times that i was going to have another premature baby. What an experience it was this time around, just everything about the pregnancy even though i was considered high risk.
I faced the […]

Margaret Murphy began life about 18 weeks early weighing around 390 grams at St Margaret’s Hospital in Sydney. These days it’s still special, but not so unusual, for a prem baby to ‘make it’, but for Margaret, born September 19, 1909, it was and still is incredible.
