Louise Thompson admitted that a year after the traumatic birth of her son, she thought “she was going to die again after her emergency admission to the hospital”.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, admitted on Saturday that she was “doing really well” before suffering a haemorrhage and losing around three liters of blood.
She spent a month in intensive care after welcoming 14-month-old son Leo-Hunter Libbey with boyfriend Ryan and suffers from PTSD and postnatal anxiety following the near-death birth.
Louise had previously been in hospital after undergoing “minor surgery” amid her grueling battle with Asherman Syndrome.
The condition causes scar tissue to form and build up in your uterus. It is not known if her recent admission was due to complications from the surgery.
Hart: Louise Thompson, 32, said her last emergency hospital visit made her believe she was “dying again” a year after the traumatic birth of her son.
In her first post on Instagram since her hospitalization, she explained, “I’m not going to let this hold me back. I’ve learned a lot over the last year and feel in a much more solid headspace than last year so fingers crossed.
“I’m a little afraid of leaving the house (or even getting up sometimes) so slowly and I’ll be bored at home so send me a message.”
“I gotta say, I’m a damn strong cookie. And I have to say that our bodies are remarkable and capable of healing from such extraordinarily brutal things. I can and will heal from this.
“From feeling all my limbs go cold as my blood tries to protect my vitals, to having my entire pain response shut off when I had Rhesus 4x needles stuck in my arms at the same time, wow, what a journey .??? ??
“Thank you doctors + medicine and those who work to improve medicine and science for keeping me alive ????
Hemorrhage is medically defined as blood loss from damaged blood vessels and can be both internal and external.
It can occur in almost any part of the body, and if it can’t be controlled or is caused by a serious injury, surgery may be needed.
It comes after Louise’s fiancé Ryan Libbey revealed she was taken to hospital after bleeding.
