Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson was back in hospital for the third time this week for an ultrasound scan after struggling with increased pain for 48 hours.
The mum-of-one, 33, has been in and out of hospital since giving birth to her son, Leo, two, following a traumatic birth that left her with PTSD.
Louise recently spent two weeks in hospital after losing ‘cups of blood’ due to an Ulcerative Colitis while on holiday in Antigua with her son and her fiancé Ryan Libbey.
She was discharged following a 12-day stint earlier this week before she had to return days later for a check in.
Now she has had to go back for the third time as Ryan shared a heartfelt post to his Instagram Stories on Friday revealing that she returned over extreme pains.

Sharing a sweet post of the two of them in the back of a car, Ryan wrote: ‘This little warrior is doing well, but the pain has ramped up in the last 48 hours.
‘So we are back at the hospital for an ultrasound to check nothing there is nothing sinister happening.’
Earlier this week, Louise informed fans she will be spending a lot of time in hospital going forward as she needs to return for ‘weekly check ins’.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the star shared a selfie and wrote: ‘Big Steps. 1. First school run with the gang. 2. Then back to hospital for weekly check ins.’
It comes after earlier this week Louise shared a sweet video of her son Leo visiting her in hospital after 12 days apart as she gave an update on her health.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Louise shared the moment they were reunited and how it gave her ‘the motivational boost I needed’ to get her home.
She shared a Reel to her page alongside the words: ‘I didn’t see this peanut for 12 days. But a visit was just the motivational boost I needed to hurry my recovery on and get me home for good.
‘More on children visiting hospital in the caption. Would love to learn your thoughts.’ The Reel was sweetly set to Betty Who’s I Love You Always Forever.

She added in a lengthy caption: ‘One of the strange things about this whole experience has been navigating time spent in hospital with a little one at home.
‘When Ryan was young(ish) … well we’ve now established he was about 8 years old – he saw his mum in hospital connected to lots of wires after a major back surgery and the memory still stings him to this day.
‘Ryan’s not very good with hospital. I don’t judge him for it. That’s one of the reasons why we thought long and hard about bringing Leo in to visit.’
Louise said during her first seven days in hospital Leo wasn’t allowed to visit but while she was in ITU a doctor recommended that it was good idea for her to see Leo when she was further along in her recovery.
‘This is going to sound horrendous but when I was, say, ‘septic’ post op I didn’t think about Leo. I couldn’t think about anything. I couldn’t concentrate. Plus I was on Fentanyl for 5 days so I was drifting in and out,’ she continued.
‘It was only as I started to feel a bit better that I could think more rationally and could weigh up the pros and cons.
‘I’d facetimed him on one of the days and got a bit upset. I didn’t want to show him lots of sadness. I didn’t want to add any more confusion.
‘I didn’t want to disrupt the challenges that Ryan was dealing with at home – my health uncertainty and the change to Leo’s routine.
‘Leo was happy and busy at nursery several days a week. Lots of family rallied around to play with him. Things were really ok for him.
‘I also reminded myself that some young parents go away for work or for holidays with their partners leaving their kids behind for a week or so anyway! That made me feel a lot better.’
Louise also shared an update on Instagram stories. She said: ‘I wanted to let you know that I am actually doing really well recovering at home. (I keep touching my hair, aka, touching wood, whenever I say this to anyone that visits because I’m mindful I don’t want to speak too soon and I don’t want to jinx anything’.
Louise, the elder sister of Sam Thompson, has faced series of health issues since the birth of Leo-Hunter in November 2021.
She was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis during her last stint in hospital which is the inflammation of the lower end of the digestive system.
The condition sadly has no cure, but can be effectively managed with time.

Before Louise’s latest health scare, she was posting photos from her family trip with Ryan, Leo and her father to Antigua And Barbuda.
A post on January 28 featured a carousel of snaps of herself with little Leo, alongside which she wrote an emotive caption about ‘learning to lean into and be grateful for those imperfect in-between moments because nothing lasts forever’.
Louise revealed a while after welcoming Leo that she and he nearly died during the traumatic labour.
On December 23, 2021, Louise announced the birth of her son on her Instagram page and revealed she had been discharged from hospital to recover at home.
She said: ‘5 weeks ago I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy Leo-Hunter Libbey weighing in at 7lbs. Unfortunately it wasn’t the easiest start for either of us. One ended up in NICU and the other ended up in ICU.’
Louise said that Leo recovered quickly, but she had to deal with ‘many bad things’, saying: ‘To dance with death twice brings a whole new view of the world.’
In December, two years after Leo’s birth, she reflected on the time since the traumatic series of events.
She said: ‘Here’s a reminder that a lot can change in a year. A lot can change in 6 months. Indeed a lot can change in a month but it’s hard to witness the change until you create some sizeable distance from it.
‘I’m crying writing this. I’m feeling very emotional today. I can’t lie it feels nice to purge my pain. I encourage you to try writing and crying too.
‘Sometimes it helps. But the main reason I’m writing this is because I really want you guys to know that you must keep moving forward. Don’t give up. Because there will be a time when you will want to wear a pretty party dress again. You will shine again.’
The reality star announced last month she is releasing a book, Lucky, where she will tell the story of the near-death experience.
