Video Description

Louise Thompson joins Jamie Laing on Great Company. 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, Jamie sits down with his 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 - a day she called the ‘best and worst day of my life’. Louise opens up about the moment she thought she had died 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. #LOUISETHOMPSON #GREATCOMPANYPODCAST #JAMIELAING 00:00 Intro 00:10 Me and Jamie’s first date on Made in Chelsea 00:35 How I am feeling now 05:00 Not being put to sleep during my emergency C-section 10:10 My miscarriage and the anxiety that came from it 12:10 Escaping a fire at my mums house weeks before my birth 17:05 Disassociating from my body after Leo’s birth 23:40 My traumatic birth experience 30:10 Experiencing a serious haemorrhage just after birth 33:15 Suffering with PTSD 33:45 Being resilient through it all 36:55 The impact on my partner Ryan 41:50 Reflecting back on Made in Chelsea 45:30 Having my colon removed and getting a stoma bag 54:40 Discussing my book ‘Lucky’ 55:55 The final eight questions 1:01:10 Outro If you enjoyed this episode, please click follow - we have so many great guests like this one, you won't want to miss out!
