In last week's episode, we heard about Maddie's incredible highs and lows before she became a mum, and in Part 2, you'll hear about the rollercoaster she went through after birthing her little boy. She suffered a traumatic 24 hours after having her son, even passing out on the table in theatre. Her journey into motherhood wasn't what she imagined, and while things eventually go better, they, unbelievably, got a whole lot worse again. Last year, Maddie snapped her leg in two places and ended up in hospital for two months. The cruel twist is that she was separated from her son and her fiancé for 6 weeks. The details are pretty heartbreaking. The silver lining to Maddie's story.... she's now planning her wedding (finally!).
