Dear Mum, it's Aimee Vivian: I Had Sepsis FOUR WEEKS After Birth

Om avsnittet

Content Warning: this episode includes conversation around a serious postpartum health scare (sepsis). Please listen with care.

"You can't let me die tonight."

That's what Aimee Vivian said to nurses four weeks after having her daughter — the night she genuinely didn't know if she'd make it through sepsis.

Aimee's a Capital Radio presenter, mum to 14-month-old Charlie, and one of the most refreshingly honest guests we've had on this show. We talk about her whirlwind route into radio, going back to work at four months postpartum out of financial necessity as a self-employed presenter, and the sepsis diagnosis that nearly took her life — and completely changed how she sees herself.

We also cover the stuff that makes this show what it is: judgment between mums, the pressure to be a "cool mum" online, and why she's started buying twenty pairs of jeans just to find the one that actually fits (and returning the rest).
