I know....the news loves those stories! The truth is, around 4pm on Feb 4th 1994 I called my husband to take me to the hospital...he was cooking at Lounge in the city (Melbourne) and jumped on his pushbike to ride home down St Kilda Rd to our Elwood flat.
He got here and we jumped into the Kombi and drove to the birth centre in Moorabbin. I was on my knees on the floor in the back of the Kombi on the way there, and my waters broke on the way down. We arrived and happened to encounter a pre-natal group of prospective mums and dads on the way in. I ran in, manic and dripping with maternal waters, frantically looking for directions to my birthing suite. They stared at me in wide eyed horror.
We checked in, had the babe and went home, all in 24 hours. Very surreal.
