When Meghan welcomes her first child in 2021, she encounters the necessary obstacles. Riley sleeps all night and doesn’t wake up, which she’s very worried about. The hospital medical staff blames her for this. “They said sometimes something like this can happen and it had to do with the fact that I was taking antidepressants.”
Meghan has her doubts about this conclusion. “Other people told me it couldn’t be that. So it was very frustrating not being able to get an answer.” In the weeks following Riley’s birth, Meghan visits a therapist who helps her overcome this traumatic event.
“Only then did I realize how traumatic this period had been. And how I suffered from PTSD when I went to bed at night. Then I felt like I was back on the operating table and had to have a cut. caesarean “.
Meghan finds it “scary” to think about it now that she and her husband are trying to have a second child. “I just hope it doesn’t happen again because it was so frustrating trying to find an explanation for my son who hasn’t woken up for a week.”
