058 - Louise | 2 miscarriages, induction, epidural, forceps, episiotomy, combi feeding, mastitis, sepsis, PND, PTSD

In today's episode we're hearing from Louise about the birth of her son Rex. She shares her experience of miscarriage; how that changed her perception of pregnancy and how she used keeping busy as a coping mechanism.  At 39 weeks a scan suggested she was carrying a big baby so she decided to accept an induction which lead to uterine hyperstimulation and after a long and exhausting labour her baby was born with the assistance of forceps. Louise talks about her very difficult postpartum experience; a bad case of mastitis which lead to being hospitalised with sepsis, and the postnatal depression and post traumatic stress disorder which ensued.   Sepsis Trust: https://sepsistrust.org/about-sepsis/ Louise's IG: https://www.instagram.com/louisemariebowen/    My website: www.serenalouth.com My IG: https://www.instagram.com/serenalouth/
