The first child conceived by means of in-vitro fertilization and a frozen embryo was Zoe Leyland, born on March 28, 1984, in Melbourne, Australia. News of her birth was not published until April 11 of that year, however, due to concerns relating to the protection of her family's privacy. Zoe was five and a half pounds at birth, somewhat on the small side for an infant but otherwise healthy, and the delivery was by Caesarean section. She was delivered at Monash University Hospital.
