Olivia Bowen: I Lost Myself After Giving Birth & What Love Island Never Showed

What was said

"I had a really bad hemorrhage. And the one thing I remember feeling is like I've got like my little boy at home like waiting for me to come home and I'm not going to make it home because I've decided to have another baby. Like the guilt was unreal. I remember that bit like that like so clear in my head thinking what have you done? You're so selfish."

During the birth of her daughter Sienna, Olivia Bowen experienced a severe hemorrhage that made her believe she was dying. Her overwhelming thought was guilt about leaving her son Abel motherless because she had chosen to have another baby. The traumatic birth was even worse than her first, which lasted 38 hours and resulted in her son not breathing initially.
