Mrs. Brown's Lovely Daughter

In my dreams firey machines....

About Me

(born July 25, 1978, in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England)
The world's first baby to be conceived by in vitro fertilisation, or IVF. She is currently a postal worker and was previously a nurse at a childcare centre in Bristol.
She was born to Lesley and John Brown, who had been trying to conceive for nine years, but without success due to Lesley's blocked Fallopian tubes. On November 10, 1977, Lesley Brown underwent the procedure by Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards.
Crucially, although the Browns knew the procedure was experimental, the doctors did not tell them that no case had yet resulted in a baby, raising questions of informed consent.
Brown was born at 11:47 p.m. at Oldham General Hospital, Oldham, through a planned caesarean section. She weighed 5 pounds, 12 ounces (2.608 kg) at birth. Her birth was videotaped.
She has a sister, Natalie, also conceived through IVF.
