Ready or Not

The hallucinations that tricked Chloe Cox into believing she wasn’t a good mum


Listen Later

What Chloe Cox talks about today might just be the bravest thing anyone’s ever shared on this show. After the birth of her first daughter, she was hallucinating. There was a toy dog in the room where she fed and it was telling her that she’d never be able to get her daughter to sleep, that she was a terrible mother.


She was going about her day looking like a mum who was thriving. She attended a mother’s group and kept up appearances. But as night fell, she was in a world of pain and confusion. 


Here, we talk about how she got through that time, the beauty of the age gap between her two girls, the power of the positive postpartum and return to work that came with her second, and the importance of shared parental leave.


This is an incredible story, told from someone who’s as kind and funny as she is brilliant and honest.
