Former Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson has opened up about the traumatic birth of her son Leo, who was born by emergency caesarean after she suffered a miscarriage in 2020.
Louise Thompson has opened up about the harrowing childbirth experience that saw her endure a traumatic labour, which resulted in an emergency caesarean section. Her son's head was trapped in her pelvis, leading to a distressing birth following a miscarriage she suffered in 2020.
In a candid interview with MailOnline, Louise recounted the terrifying moments during the birth of her son Leo. She expressed: "I heard a cry as Leo came out, but I didn't care that I had a child. I genuinely believed every second I was bleeding to death. I kept turning to Ryan and asking him whether I was still alive I didn't believe I could be. No one gave us any reassurance; it was all like some sick nightmare.
Louise endured multiple transfusions post-delivery and was subsequently diagnosed with PTSD, leading her to a dark place where she admitted: "I didn't care if I died. I just wanted someone else to kill me because I didn't have the confidence to do it myself.", reports the Mirror. This emotional turmoil impacted her ability to mother her son Leo. She confessed: "I really was not a good parent for a very long time. For most of his first few months I couldn't have told you what he was doing or even who was looking after him. When I did see him, I would hold him at arm's length. I didn't talk or sing to him."
