Your Memories
I had my 3rd child in Belvidere Hospital - I understand
the spelling is as above, but I may be wrong. Joseph
was born on 3rd July 1965. I went into premature labour
and was taken there instead of Duke Street. I had a
Caesarian Section. They insisted I slept "sitting
up" and propped me up with pillows - and kept waking
me up during the night because I had slipped down. They
did have a magternity unit, but the staff could not
say how long it had been since a section had been previously
carried out. Another patient was Fay Flood who had her
3rd son while I was in the hospital. We called here
Fay Flood and her 3 puddles. The ward we slept in was
nice and had french windows into the garden. It was
really old hospital and looked it. But as you can see
it was not only a fever hospital.
