What was the most memorable thing that happened in the day your child was born?

Apart from your child being born obviously , for example did England win the world cup on the same day?

I was supposed to be going to the hairdressers, I instead went into labour 5 weeks early. I spent the labour screaming at my husband that he needed to be courteous and call the hairdressers to cancel. He tried to reason with me that it was 3am in the morning but I was having none of it.

York cathedral caught fire.

Chernobyl blew up.

My best friend got married
There was very heavy snow

It was my 30th birthday. Having a baby was not on my agenda as he was born at 36+6.

Man City beat Man Utd.

I had a Brie baguette

Power cut

England got knocked out of the world cup, which is rather less notable or unusual than winning it...

David Bowie was on the radio when both of mine came out , Starman & Changes

Venus was in transit across the sun which does not happen very often!

Absolutely no idea

It was Friday the 13th.

There was a General Election.

Nothing? I couldn’t have cared less what was going on - she was born with the sunrise and it was magical. The rest of the world didn’t register I’m afraid!

London riots. Being hown the newspapers the next day in hospital it looked like the world outside was falling apart and I didnt want to go home

I have no idea as I had just had a baby

Should I look it up?

My babies came early, I was supposed to be viewing a house at the time they were born 🤦‍♀️ no idea what happened the rest of the day, I was high as a kite and hadn't slept in 3 days 🤣🤣

Not much. DH got a parking ticket (DS was born in a central London hospital handy for the shops but not great for parking.)

No idea.

It snowed

I split up with a boyfriend that day, and I so vividly driving away from our house to go stay with a friend and sobbing as I listened to the news on the radio and felt that the whole world was collapsing. Which was a bit of an overreaction on all fronts, the riots were very serious but hardly the beginning of civil war and the boyfriend was no great loss!

A now ex-friend announcing my kids (twins) birth on Facebook. I went ballistic.

The very first national lottery was drawn
