Born a Brummie
Thank you Degsy for the photos.
My middle son was born at St Michael's Hospital in Lichfield and as he was only 4lbs 2ozs born he was taken away to Marston Green Prem and it was 14 days before I saw him again. He looked nothing like the baby I gave birth to!! He had lost so much birth weight he was like a skinned rabbit!!
I remember the walkways and they weren't covered in then. We could only veiw the baby from outside through the window and he was nearly 5 weeks old before I could hold him and he was 8 weeks before we could take him home :shocked: How different things are today.
This was in May 1961.
