First IVF birth: 'It makes me feel really special'
Louise Brown says that being the first person born of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) makes her feel "really special".
Born in Oldham General Hospital in 1978, she has now written her autobiography called My Life as the World's First Test-Tube Baby.
She spoke to Victoria Derbyshire alongside IVF expert Mike Macnamee, the chief executive of the Bourn Hall fertility clinic set up by the IVF pioneers responsible for Louise Brown's birth, Jamie Facer-Childs, who was the first baby (along with his twin brother) to be born from a frozen embryo used in IVF treatment in 1987, and Rebecca Kenyon, who is here with Arabella, her baby conceived through IVF treatment.
