Louise Thompson, 34, calls for more funding for perinatal health and claims she was 'thrown out into the wilderness' after 'catastrophic' near-fatal labour with son Leo


She's been vocal about her son's traumatic birth, which left her with ongoing health problems and mental health issues.

Louise Thompson, 34, has called for more funding for perinatal health and claims she was ‘thrown out into the wilderness’ after ‘catastrophic’ near-fatal labour with son Leo in 2021 Louise said that, if she ‘had the ear’ of the next Prime Minister or Health Secretary, she would ‘urge them to invest in expanding services connecting psychiatrists and psychologists with gynaecological and obstetric care.’ She lost 12 litres of blood over a two-year period and earlier this year had part of her colon removed, meaning now she lives with a stoma bag.
