    Louise is so brave to share her story. She’s going to help so many people. Very strong woman.

    I really wanted to hear her story but Lorraine wouldn’t shut up, that high pitch voice goes right through me

      They want you to go and purchase the book to read for yourself. No book author is going to give away to whole story on a show to promote the book

      I thought the same! It was like she'd had too much coffee before the interview.

      Lorraine's horrible. Nasty aggressive vibe always.

    I'm crying listening to her, because I also wanted an elective c-section and wasn't listened to. My emergency c-section went wrong. I was eventually put under general anesthetic, but was in surgery for 5 hours. It's nearly 2 years on and I still have complications. I wanted my child to have a sibling but I can't ever have another pregnancy. I have no trust in maternity care.
    Thank you for sharing your story Louise, you are incredibly strong.

    So sorry to hear Louise went through this terrible time. Very brave to share she has a stoma bag and her birth story.
    I had PTSD after childbirth and cancelled follow up appointments at the hospital, so understand Ryan's point of view.
    That was almost 12 years ago and I promise it gets better with time.

    She is looking very healthy. She has a gorgeous little boy. Good on her to come through the other side of all the trauma, now looking peaceful and smiling. Good luck to them 💪

    I'm not surprised so many women suffer from a depression or give up breastfeeding. The post natal care in this country simply doesn't exists. I had a long, traumatic assisted labour, stress and pain I had never experienced. They wanted to sign us out just a few hours after the labour. I understand a hospital is not a hotel but let the mum rest at least a little bit. If men was giving birth we would be living in a very different world today.

    @user-pb9vm2ew7j Před 12 dny +14

    It is truly shocking and worrying how bad the healthcare in this country has gotten. It is becoming more and more dangerous for women to give birth. So many horrific birth stories where harm to the mother and/or baby could be avoided. I feel for this woman, I can’t imagine spending my first year as a mother dealing with this trauma and various health issues. It’s hard enough without all that 😥.

  • @Natalie-wellbeing-guidance

    You have been through it Louise, I hope everything goes better for you now and for the future for yourself, Ryan and your boy.

  • @caras4766
    @caras4766 Před 10 dny +4

    Watching this made me cry. What an unimaginably traumatising experience for Louise to have gone through, I really feel for her. Another example of how medical professionals so often don’t listen to or respect women. I have IBD and PTSD as well and it means a lot to hear her speaking openly about these things.

  • @katemallinson2346
    @katemallinson2346 Před 12 dny +16

    Great to raise awareness to share her issues with PTSD its so common , wishing her nothing but help and healing for the future x

    Us women are amazing! What we go through to bring life into the world is astonishing. The pain, suffering and risks involved is like any other. We need to be applauded more and respected. Good interview and I wish her all the very best. 🙏🏼⭐️🕯🌸

    Cannot believe Lorraine asked Louse if she planning more children literally minutes after she said she had almost died during childbirth.

      But I mean if she really did feel she wanted another at some point, she could get a surrogate

    Terrible sounds from Lorraine's voice box! Louise thank you for your honesty & highlighting your experience.

  • @afiu
    @afiu Před 13 dny +18

    Brilliant interview, I feel after a traumatic first birth myself, more needs to be done in terms of advocacy for women’s rights in childbirth and the education of first time mothers around the potential dangers and choices they may have to make. It’s all well and good saying that care is patient lead but if women and fathers aren’t made aware of their choices in life threatening situations I feel that it is a big shortfall for the nhs.
    In my experience it was very basic and a big emphasis on positive thinking and doing everything naturally. This is not the reality for many women and you are sent in blind to the dangers and end up with trauma.
    Well done on highlighting this issue.❤

    • @katjaxxx7353
      @katjaxxx7353 Před 13 dny +2

      I can’t believe she was awake and Ryan had to witness all - this is traumatic who allows that

    • @hannahward4703
      @hannahward4703 Před 11 dny +1

      I work primarily with postpartum moms and newborns, and I’ve been saying this since before my training. It’s outrageous how little info women are given, and how heavily those gaslit about how safe and “natural” it is to give birth, but also, women MUST self advocate and research the dangers on their own. Death and pain are also natural, natural doesn’t negate suffering.

  • @F1Samantha

  • @thepopfiles4294
    @thepopfiles4294 Před 12 dny +6

    I feel terrible for her. To want something so bad and be left unable to really embrace that, for years. I really hope she’s ok. I don’t know much about her, only what I’ve read, but my heart goes out to her.

    Louise you are amazing. What you’ve been through is beyond imagination. To have a 3 hour operation and not be put to sleep is medical mismanagement in my opinion. All they can do in medicine and they put you through that. I don’t know why I’m shocked as I’ve had some horrendous experiences in hospital! Take care.

  • @AcapellaRose
    @AcapellaRose Před 13 dny +28

    That was a genuinely lovely interview. Followed Louise throughout her whole journey, and as always shes an incredibly powerful, caring woman, but I also think credit to Lorraine for a genuinely empathetic and interesting interview. Thank you both

    • @katjaxxx7353
      @katjaxxx7353 Před 13 dny +6

      Asking Louise about wanting more kids was insensitive. You can see that she has PSTD. Why would you do that, it’s painful for her …. Jeez

    Poor Louise, she had terrible care by the sounds of it while giving birth and she's not the only woman who has. Why is her story so familiar, it's not acceptable.

  • @user-fd7xv4tg5k
    @user-fd7xv4tg5k Před 12 dny +3

    This reminds me of a story from a farmer, he use to put a big bull to small heifers, problem was that the heifers couldn't calve properly because the calves were too big , in the end, you end up loosing cow and calf

  • @sarahcurrie2001
    @sarahcurrie2001 Před 11 dny +1

    I wanted an elective section I just knew that's what I needed for my birth and got told no no no and ended up having an emergency c section which has left horrible birth trauma memories in my mind.

  • @KK-ex3ej
    @KK-ex3ej Před 12 dny +1

    It's reasonable that they should have picked up potential problems as a matter of routine care. I know lots of women who needed planned c sections for way less and they wouldn't have been put through what Louise was put through. Childbirth can be life threatening for many women and showing our support to those women, as women ourselves is important.

    poor lass, no one should have to go through that horror, but now the kids gotta go through the trauma of life too, illnesses, slaving in a job they more than likely will hate, bullying, paying bills, worrying about money, and food and death. Life is a scam. We are brainwashed from birth.

    • @caras4766
      @caras4766 Před 10 dny +2

      I don’t think so, at least not directly - Louise has Ulcerative Colitis which causes inflammation in the colon and can result in needing a stoma. There could certainly be an indirect link though (ie the stress and trauma of the birth could have caused a flare up of the UC).
