The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

I don't want to sit with them and they're going to feel sorry for me and I don't want their pity.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

But I look over and there was a baby, a four-month-old little girl who'd had a brain tumour so huge and she had a huge scar down her head.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

And I was like, oh, my God, he doesn't have a brain tumour.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

That poor little baby.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

And then I noticed another baby, this little boy, who was born without a really important part of his body.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

And I was like, oh, is he?

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

And the dad was like, oh, we've been here for six months and we'll work it out.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

And I was like, oh, okay, perspective is finally happening after a week of being isolated and thinking, oh, no one's ever gone through something so hard.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

I was finally given some perspective.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

Like, no, no, it could be really hard.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

You could have, you know, all of these things.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

But still no answers were coming.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

And then eventually after I think it was eight days of him being completely still, finally he started to stir a little and then feed a little.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

And then the doctors were like, yeah, we honestly cannot find what it is.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

So you can go home.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

Yeah.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

I was like, okay.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

Yeah, and one of the scans shows he's got bleeding on his brain, but it seems to have stopped and we think it's a result of the birth and obviously should have had a caesarean.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

I'm like, oh, it's my fault.

The Imperfects
Bron Lewis - Is It Me or Postnatal Anxiety?

So they're like, okay, all right, you can go home and just let us know if he has another one of those episodes.
