Don’t get me wrong, Having forceps in theatre is a horrible experience. Many of my friends have had this situation (although not in the middle of a pandemic which I’m sure heightens things) but is that it?
What about the part where the medical team ‘brought her exhausted body back to life’ like she mentioned in her thank you nhs *cough - massive teaser for her podcast -cough* post.
It’s never nice when things don’t go to plan, but she thought doing yoga while she was pregnant meant she would have the perfect labour and life just isn’t like that. I’m sure her birth was long, tiring and painful but so are most births that do go to plan.
Forceps in theatre is not ‘traumatising’ watching your newborn being resuscitated in front of you and casually being told that if you hadn’t gone to hospital for reduced movement that day your baby would be dead is.
I haven’t listened to the podcast so if there’s more to it than that and I’m wrong then fine but isn’t it weird that every minor celebrity/reality star/influencer has a horrific birth story that they milk for all it’s worth.
