When Laura and her new husband decided to get pregnant, things started off smoothly. Having type 1 diabetes she knew she'd have to be extra careful, but all seemed well. As you'll hear in this episode, though, the road to having a baby had a few bumps. What was to come once Laura, an architect, welcomed Freddy into the world was the most unexpected part: trauma from an accident resurfaced when she faced complications during childbirth. Laura never expected to face mental health issues, but when Freddy was still small she found herself having intrusive thoughts, anxiety and OCD tendencies. She shares honestly how that affected her experience of early motherhood, how she got help and what made the biggest difference.
