'Was so confused as to what was happening around me, couldn't figure out what was wrong with me and felt like I hadn't made any progress at all.

The beauty shared a gallery of sweet photos of herself and Leo - who she shares with fiancé Ryan Libbey, 32 - as she revealed the first few months after giving birth were a 'haze' and 'very scary'.
Louise wrote alongside her Instagram post: 'I looked at thousands of photos of my little Leo last night and then again this morning (many of which I'd never seen) and yet I still feel unsure on what to post to mark this momentous occasion.
'However, it seems strange not to address the elephant in the room, so here's a really mundane photo of me and my baby boy yesterday morning getting ready for the day.

'I feel so privileged to be able to do normal boring s**t with him. Yesterday my attitude was to simply get through the day and to try not to make it all about me.
'I just wanted to have a nice time with Leo and his grandparents. Today I've had a bit more time for self reflection and to be honest when I look back over the past year (mainly through images taken) I feel mixed emotions.'
She continued: 'I feel a bit angry, like I want to swear a lot, especially when I look at how glazed over I was at the beginning of his journey on earth.
'Then I want to cry. I want to cry because I was a totally CRAP parent. I really was. and it wasn't my fault. But it didn't need to be that way. There was no connection, in fact I can't even remember anything for the first five months of his life.

'I know that the whole thing is a haze for most new mums, but for me I think it was different. I literally didn't know what was going on around me.
'I look like a different person and am acting quite weird in some of the videos too, like I'm not really all THERE! What happened to Louise? I'm kind of skew eyed and a bit vacant. It's actually very scary for me to see.'
Describing her 'painful' time in hospital before being discharged for the first time, the influencer said she 'collapsed on the floor with relief that I was alive' after what she had been through.
She added: 'There are also a couple of particularly raw videos of me from a hospital bed talking to camera in excruciating pain
