Louise Thompson reveals tragic miscarriage as she says 'I need to get it out' in emotional post

The reality star opened up in an emotional update about her and her fiance Ryan Libby's loss

Louise Thompson has told fans she has suffered a tragic miscarriage in an emotional update, two years after the traumatic birth of her son.

The reality star and her fiance Ryan Libby welcomed their first child, Leo, into the world back in November 2021 after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage in 2020.

But during her son's arrival, Louise endured a nightmare when her son Leo's head became trapped in her pelvis, leading to an emergency caesarean section.

The former Made in Chelsea star ended up losing a staggering three-and-a-half litres of blood during the ordeal as doctors struggled for over three hours to control a haemorrhage.

It was later discovered that Louise had suffered a torn womb, which was the source of the excessive bleeding, having suffered a second haemorrhage days after being discharged from the hospital, this time experiencing the loss of five litres of blood.

Louise has previously told how her fertility could be compromised following a succession of further health issues and on Friday (April 25), the 35-year-old shared a heartbreaking update with her 1.5million Instagram followers.

She posted a photo of a positive pregnancy test, and said: "Tw: lots of stuff. This is not now, this was last January. The night before I got on a flight. As if things needed to get more complicated.

"I only told a handful of people, but I wrote a bit about it in the book and now that it is out there in the big bad world I thought it was easier to share on here than to have anyone question it behind my back.

"I often find it easier to write this sort of stuff down than to speak about it out loud. And hopefully this will help me process it. Sharing can feel quite liberating."

She continued: "So much has happened in the past 3 years as we all know and v v quickly. It feels like such a dense time in my life. As my life coach often says I’ve signed up to the ‘speedy learning course’. Riding in the fast lane. My time here on this planet has been anything but boring.

"Sometimes (actually, all the time) I stop myself from having ‘the time’ or the space to think about all the hard things that my body has been through.

"I love working with my coach because she teaches me to look forward. We talk about fun projects, work, relationships and all the menial bits and bobs that make up this rollercoaster we call life too. I haven’t worked with my psychotherapist for well over a year because I thought I was done with all of that. "

Louise added: "That means I haven’t been forced to look back. But then I had to have more surgery 6 months ago and actually over the last week being back in the hospital to discuss potential plans for future surgeries and stuff has brought everything rushing back. It’s landed on me like a tonne of bricks.

"I’ve noticed some weird avoidance behaviours, some silly distractions seeping in, and also have found it really hard to focus on things properly. I’ve felt a little confused between the then and now and I’ve also had some rather bizarre memories pop in and I’ve cried a little bit most days which feels alien (even though I used to be called tears thompson) because I’ve been so happy.

"I’ll be honest I think there is a need for more processing. I haven’t spoken to a therapist since the stoma surgery. I think it might be time to try some dreaded EMDR. Please can someone give me confidence that it won’t be dreaded ?!?"

She went on to discuss how she discovered she was pregnant, and the subsequent heartbreaking miscarriage as she said: "I talk a wee bit about it in the extra chapter of my book, but it’s crazy to think that Leo could have had a sibling born last September. I doubt that it was ever going to work. Probably a mere chemical pregnancy.

"Whatever it was the change in hormones or blood flow to that area caused the most insane amount of bleeding from my bum in the weeks that followed and ended up having my stoma surgery as a result. So capiche. That was the end of that dream. W

"Was it a dream though? Not something that was planned, in fact a complete miracle given the circumstances and I'll let you work that one out, although there are many circumstances that make this one very unusual, including the fact it's practically a mary and joseph moment.

"But I knew something was different to test because I felt a very unusual sense of tiredness that I only got when being pregnant last time and I felt very sick too. These are not symptoms I’ve experienced aside from my last pregnancy."

She rounded off by saying: "My fertility and our fertility journey is something I'm only just starting to wrap my head around 3 1/2 years after the birth of my beautiful son.

"There is a lot I haven’t come to terms with, and I haven’t wanted to until now. I remember my therapist asking me about it a few years ago and she asked whether I was sad about my situation and I just brushed it off. It was all way to soon to start thinking about the idea of more anything when I had so much fixing to do."But I actually remembered to mention it in a medical appointment last week and it kind of brought about this flood of emotions and it felt quite necessary and quite good. I need to get it out now."
