Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for reminding us that on July 25, 1978, Louise Joy Brown, the world’s first baby to be conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) was born healthy at Oldham and District General Hospital in Manchester, England, to parents Lesley and Peter Brown.' "The healthy baby was delivered shortly before midnight by caesarean section and weighed in at five pounds, 12 ounces.'

Test tube baby Louise Brown and the birth of IVF
Forty years ago the arrival of Louise Brown proved the success of in vitro fertilization, giving hope to millions of parents trying to have a child. Tracy Smith sits down with Brown, and with a couple who gave birth (with an assist from IVF) to a baby boy almost 40 years to the day after Brown's birth.

Louise Brown on growing up the first test tube baby
In 1979, Louise Brown was the first child born through the use of in vitro fertilization, or IVF. In this web exclusive she talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about what it was like growing up as the world's first "test tube baby." In a word, "weird."
