A Shrewsbury mum has been featured on a new podcast, sharing her powerful survival story and raising awareness of sepsis.
Jessica Mills is still living with aftermath of sepsis, four years on
"I felt very ill," she said:"I felt like I wasn’t even in the room at all but trapped within my brain. When the obstetric consultant informed me I had sepsis, I was so unwell I couldn’t understand. "Something inside kicked in and I fought like hell not to be taken away from my baby. Now I can’t believe how lucky I was."
"Although I am now recovered I still have PTSD, said Jessica."And my husband, Ryan, also suffered a PTSD-related mental health breakdown due to the experience, around 10 months after the birth. Colin Graham, chief operating officer at Sepsis Research FEAT, said:"We are so grateful to Jessica for taking part in our Words of Sepsis podcast and sharing her personal experience of this devastating condition.
