ON July 25, 1978, the world’s media were camped out in Oldham, Greater Manchester, for what had been dubbed “the most awaited birth in perhaps 2000 years”.
Megan McKenna reveals 'painful' IVF journey and secret hospital dash in emotional video after announcing first pregnancy“My mum just wanted a baby, and no matter what, she would have done it,” Louise said. “It wasn’t until near the end of her pregnancy that she understood it would be a world-first,” Louise said.
Louise first learned about how she was made when she was four, when her parents sat her down to explain IVF and showed her the video of her birth.She has described herself as “very much like dad”, in that she takes her unique position in her stride, while her mum hated the attention: “She’d sometimes say she felt like I wasn’t her baby; that she was sharing me with the world.”
She met her husband, Wesley Mullinder, a nightclub doorman, in 2002, and the pair had been together a few months before he realised that Louise was the world’s first IVF baby.Remarkably, Wesley, who was eight years older, had lived across the road from the Brown family and had been standing in the crowds outside their house when they brought Louise home from the hospital – a coincidence she described, in typically no-nonsense fashion, as “a bit weird”.
Meanwhile, the hate mail and poison pen letters have been replaced with internet trolls - in 2017, Louise revealed: “People put cruel and ill-informed comments on the internet just about whenever there is a story about me. But I just ignore it.”In recent years, she has become more comfortable with her place in history, viewing it as a privilege. “I didn’t do anything – I was just born,” Louise said.
It was such a rollercoaster of emotions, from despair to hope. When a blood test at the clinic confirmed I was pregnant, I was still incredibly anxious. I couldn’t believe it and kept thinking it may not stick.

They’re not viable,” said the nurse bluntly.Greg and I married in 2008, after nine years together and started trying for a family, thinking that it would just work. But after a year, nothing had happened.Our first round on the NHS produced two embryos. One was transferred but was unsuccessful, which was so disappointing.
