THE former Made In Chelsea star has bravely revealed all about her traumatic childbirth in her new book. Louise Thompson , 34, has opened up about her harrowing journey as she was operated on after birth, losing three-and-a-half litres of blood. In the book, Lucky, she revealed she had an emergency C-section with her son Leo but suffered major complications that left her thinking she was dead.
After giving birth , Leo was taken away and Louise and her partner Ryan had no communication from medical professionals as to whether he was healthy - or even alive. The bleeding had started during the C-section, and the haemorrhaging didn't stop once the birth was over. She was stuck on the operating table for more than three hours as doctors attempted to stop the bleeding.
To make matters even worse, she was left wide awake for the entire ordeal. She candidly opened up about the horrid ordeal, saying: "For more than three harrowing hours, I am worked on in that operating theatre and I am awake throughout, aware of everything. "In what other circumstances would a patient be conscious during major surgery over several hours, hearing the panicked voices, feeling every pummel, witnessing the loss of blood without a single word of comfort or explanation, for what is happening? "Why haven't they put me to sleep ? To this day, that's a question which has never been answered.
" Once the bleeding had finally stopped, nothing was said about what went wrong and Louise passed out from exhaustion. .
