LOUISE THOMPSON: THIS WAS THE BEST AND WORST DAY OF MY LIFE

LOUISE THOMPSON: THIS WAS THE BEST AND WORST DAY OF MY LIFE

TW: This episode contains graphic descriptions of birth loss, trauma and PTSD


Life-threatening haemorrhages, almost dying on the operating table, and suffering with post natal depression, I sit down with my old friend, Louise Thompson to simply ask: How are you?


Since growing up together on Made in Chelsea, Louise’s life drastically changed in November 2021, when she gave birth to her son, Leo, in a complicated emergency C-section [09.20] - a day she called the ‘best and worst day of my life’. Louise opens up to me about the moment she thought she had died [28.01] and the devastating fallout, both physically and emotionally following that time.


This interview is raw and open, but shows the strength of human resilience, and the love and admiration between old friends whose lives have taken turns they’d never have foreseen.
