September is Sepsis Awareness Month

My Story 📖 💌

🎈 On April 3rd 2020 I gave birth to my first beautiful daughter. This was at the start of the national lockdown in the UK and the world had gone a little bit mad. After a few complications during the birth by caesarean section I was kept in for a blood transfusion and discharged on April 8th for Effie to come home and meet her dad.

It became quickly apparent at home that I wasn't well. My temperature was up and down reaching highs of over 40 degrees and everything in my body hurt. I was unable to do basic tasks caring for my newborn. I was too scared to go back in to hospital due to restrictions caused by the Covid pandemic, but fortunately on the evening of April 10th, my husband decided I needed to go back in as I really wasn't well.

I was seen quickly by staff in the emergency department and immediately put on IV antibiotics, sepsis was diagnosed quickly. I was in and out of consciousness but knew I had to hang in there for my new daughter and my huband.

Within a few hours of antibiotics I had started to feel an improvement already. The following day I had another blood transfusion and was feeling significantly better. On the evening of April 12th I was discharged.

I knew nothing about sepsis before having it, and speaking to others since there are very few who know anything about the signs and what to look out for. It can happen to anyone. There are 11 Million deaths globally every year, and sepsis kills more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined. It is as common as a heart attack. I genuinly believe my symptoms were clear to anyone who knows the signs of sepsis in the first few days after having my daughter whilst I was still in hospital, and people need to educate themselves and others around them on what these are.

Slurred speech or confusion
Extreme shivering or muscle pain
Passing no urine (in a day)
Severe breathlessness
It feels like you’re going to die
Skin mottled or discoloured
Recovery from sepsis can be difficult and lengthy, and often leaves people with life long complications.

And that is why I’m doing London Marathon next year. Because I am strong and I am a fighter and I am a mother.

I’m not entirely sure how this has happened but I’m running the London Marathon next year in aid of The UK Sepsis Trust. 🏃🏼‍♀️

If anyone can spare a moment to read through my story on my sponsor page it was a bit of a tough one for for me to write if I’m honest and has opened up a whole array of emotions for me. And even better if you can sponsor me too! Every sponsorship I receive is more appreciated than you’d think!!

Thanks 😊
