Hello there, I was asked about my place of birth recently and I realised I knew nothing about my birth and what it was like for my mum. She passed away in 2000 at 62 and so had just turned 19. When I looked up St Teresa’s (where I was born in 1981) - I read it initially was formed for expectant mothers who were cancer patients or suffered from another illness. Was this correct of all patients? Even up to 1981? The reason being, my mum passed with cancer in 2000, but I had only found out she also had it around 1987/88 when I was in primary school, but it sadly came back 10 years later, and it was terminal. So I am just wondering if she might have not been well when I was born (if St Teresa’s maternity only took care of ill expectant mothers?) Apologies if I have generalised; I just wanted to gain some insight. Thanks in advance.
