Louise Thompson shares health update after 'something bad happened' before hospital dash

Louise Thompson has shared a worrying update on her ongoing health battle, telling her fans that 'something bad has happened' to her.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, has been beset by a number of health issues since giving birth to her and Ryan Libbey's son Leo-Hunter in December 2021.

The reality TV star spent a month in intensive care after her son was born, having suffered a near-death birthing experience which left her with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Last month, Louise's partner revealed she was rushed to the hospital after she haemorrhaged at home.

Since then, Louise has continued to share her traumatic experiences after giving birth and has hit back at trolls who have told her to 'just snap out' of her PTSD and anxiety.

In her latest health update, Louise explained: "To be honest if I were to create a REAL reel of the last 16 months it would be at least an hour long.

"There would be hospital appointments every single week, 50+ blood tests and it would be far too painful to make/watch.

"In terms of health - gynaecology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, psychiatry, psychotherapy and now haematology appointments, what next? That is six different departments that I’m working with every month."

Louise accompanied her post with a video compilation of her with her son Leo, in hospital, training with Ryan and on holiday.

"Isn’t it crazy how your life can change overnight? I mean I’m only just realising how nuts it is that last July I was told it might be better to have my colon removed.

"One day I’m on holiday, the next day I’m in A&E with that news. Gosh, we so take our health for granted."

Last month, the reality star said she thought she was 'going to die' during her terrifying hospital trip as she lost 'a lot of blood'.

Her fiancé Ryan, 32, said she'd 'haemorrhaged at home, again'. He said she was 'rushed to hospital for surgery' and was monitored for four days before returning home.

Louise spoke about her hospital visit in a lengthy caption on Instagram, alongside a video of a 'burning ritual' at her home.

She wrote in the caption: "Gosh the last few days have been a rollercoaster. From thinking I was going to die again, to being allowed home all in the space of a few days.

"What a whirlwind. Not sure I'm quite ready to digest it, to be honest.

"Emergency scenarios are a wild ride. You get no prep time. It's just bam, zero to hero in a matter of minutes … or hours if you're lucky. It does strange things to your mind.

"The emotions are mental, from an adrenaline fuelled ambulance phone call, to freeze (what I think might help, but obviously does nothing to prevent blood flow/loss), to laughter, to tears, to anger, to shouting, to apologising, to guilt. Powerful stuff.

"Just when I was doing really well too."

Louise said she's going to try not to 'wallow in self pity,' adding that being a parent and caring about her family means that she doesn't 'really have time to collapse into a heap and start processing'.
