Louise’s Story, Bringing Eva into the world, losing her twin, NICU life and a pandemic baby coming!

Louise’s Story, twin pregnancy, loss of a twin and Eva coming into the world (3 months early) if that doesn’t sound eventful enough a Pandemic baby is due any week now! I have been trying to navigate my thoughts on putting out birth stories in this pandemic crisis. The landscape for mums to be is ever-changing and frightening. But this episode made me realize it’s needed even more. Louise's point of view was so refreshing and positive. It gives me hope for all women giving birth in 2020. A testament to the woman she is and all she has endured in recent years. Anyone pregnant reading this, I hope this episode provides you comfort. You are not alone! Louise you were a delight to talk to, thank you for sharing so much and making me laugh. This episode was made to be aired right now. You’ll get what I mean when you listen. A word from Louise - ‘When Fran first asked me to be on the podcast we thought it would purely be about my first twin pregnancy, how I dealt with the loss of one baby and how I got through the prematurity and early days home with the surviving baby. We thought that would be a complex enough topic to unpick, but that was before I fell pregnant again and am due to give birth right in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic in UK! This podcast was so healing to do to process my emotions about both pregnancies. I am always so happy and humbled that anyone wants to hear my story and I want to thank Fran so much for having me - I set up my Insta account to help any mums who may have had similar experiences and share love, so hope this podcast gets to those who need it.’ Follow @helpamummyout on Instagram to see more of Louise’s journey.
