Wow! This<\/a> makes me feel really old, almost like a Grandma old:<\/p>\n

The world’s first test-tube baby Louise Brown is expecting a baby of her own. <\/p>\n

Louise was born on July 25, 1978, after her parents John and Lesley had tried for nine years to have a child. Her birth brought hope to infertile couples. <\/p>\n

And since then millions of babies have been born using IVF, including the couple’s second child Natalie, 20. <\/p>\n

Louise, 27, and her husband of two years, security officer, Wesley Mullinder, are expecting their own child, who was conceived naturally.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
