"Nikki came to pick up the placenta. She encapsulated the placenta using a Chinese medical method , then two days later a beautiful package arrived. It was really beautifully presented and you just didn't think about the fact you were eating your own placenta.
I had no baby blues this time round. I'm producing a play for the London theatre called Frida's Return about Frida Khalo and I was so busy fundraising and going to meetings, it was madness - but I was able to handle it.
My milk supply was also really good.
I had been suffering from bad asthma and cold sores but a couple of weeks went by and I felt more energised, my skin was much better and I was healed after the birth within a week. My cold sores disappeared and my asthma improved.
Two weeks after I gave birth I had to produce a trailer for our play. I had to dance and act and get into my costume in a hangar in Norfolk.
The second time around the pregnancy was much harder. The last two months I was so tired and heavy.
If it wasn't for my placenta and all that healing and goodness and building blocks to health, I don't think I would have had an much energy and felt as energised as I do. I've even got back to the gym"
