About this listen

Trigger warning: this episode contains reference to birth and medical trauma, baby loss and themes of mental health struggles.


In this episode, Louise and Ryan have an important and vulnerable conversation about learning to live again after suffering a traumatic birth.


Louise recently spoke on a panel in Parliament about her experience of birth trauma, and the pair discuss how the experience has reignited Louise’s passion for campaigning for change in the maternity sector. Together, they explore the concerning fact that 41% of medical negligence claims are related to maternity care and Louise candidly shares her fears about discussing her medical trauma with healthcare professionals - especially as someone in the public eye…


Plus, Louise discusses the changes she’d like to see in maternity care and a listener graciously shares her story to show that if you’ve suffered a difficult birth, you’re not alone.
