I was 11 weeks early. Not sure what I weighed, but there is a picture of my hand being dwarfed by a 50 pence piece. My mum was told by the doctors that if I didn't have learning difficulties, at the very least I would be crap at maths. A bit later I had to have a shunt put in to drain cranial fluid.

At 22, I haven't needed any revisions of the shunt (i.e. supplementary brain surgery for funsies), and am studying physics and philosophy at uni. So I guess it's a win that I was lucky enough to be born when and where I was.

Ah, the baby-to-scale photos!
There's one of me in my father's hand, and while he is 6'4", I obviously take up entirely less space than all the other random things my mother chose to photograph for scale, like the cat, a loaf of bread and a football.

Good on you for also getting one over on the doctors! I am crap at maths, but I think that just runs in the family.

Tiny!
Did you also get dressed in doll clothes? Nothing in the baby sizes was small enough for me, so I got doll clothes. Upside: I had very well-dressed dolls when I was little!
