A Stroke the Day after Birth - Ruth Carroll
Listen now
Description
At 9 months pregnant Ruth was preparing to welcome her first baby into the world.  This time in our lives is transformative in so many ways - but Ruth had no idea of what was to come.  And here in this episode she takes us through one of the most remarkable stories we’ve ever told on this podcast.  A brain tumour diagnosis, an emergency section and a stroke, one day after her son was born which immediately paralysed her on the left side. Ruth fought her way back to her baby boy, she proved the experts wrong by getting home to him, by learning to walk again, by growing stronger every day.  5 years on, mothering one handed, Ruth explains how she had a choice and she chose to do everything in her power to be as strong as she possibly could for her baby.  A remarkable woman, a remarkable mindset, a remarkable mother.    WaterWipes is one of the most essential products for every mum from that first nappy change to those messy weaning months.
