CONTENT WARNING: suicidal thoughts & pregnancy trauma .
In this episode, Hayley shares her journey through a first pregnancy marked by the perfect storm of challenges: Melbourne's Covid lockdowns, severe sickness, and a healthcare system that fell short in managing her needs but also at times traumatic treatment.
Hayley's warmth and resilience shine through as she recounts the trials she faced and despite the gravity of her experiences, Hayley's storytelling is infused with humor and reflection, painting a vivid picture of her ordeal.
This episode is an emotional rollercoaster and we think all survivors will resonate with the outrage and hope embedded in Hayley's story which extends beyond pregnancy to address the often-overlooked postpartum period. Hayley's journey becomes a guiding support to reflect on your own journey and potential paths to healing. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of HG, advocating for improved care, and finding empowerment in the face of adversity.
