Daisie: “Nobody should be forced to be alone in that situation”

Like many women who had babies during lockdown, Daisie was left to look after her newborn baby in hospital for 5 days without the support of her husband and without a single visitor. Daisie says the first few days of her baby’s life were spent angry, paranoid and “planning her escape” from hospital. Daisie tells host Phillippa how she’s now using her experience of postnatal depression to help other women.
