However, in reassuring posts hours later, Louise made it home for dinner and bath time with son Leo.
The reality star, who has been experiencing severe health issues since Leo’s birth last year, said she was “on the edge” yesterday after changing the dosage of her prescribed medication.
Louise nearly died twice during labour and was diagnosed with PTSD after the ordeal.
She has been admitted to hospital twice in the months since and is undergoing therapy, while also taking medication to treat her anxiety.

Louise revealed she had lowered her dosage and took to Instagram to share a photo after collecting her medication from the chemist.
She said: “Not going to lie today has felt really rough.
“I feel like I’m constantly teetering on the edge of going in and out of consciousness. It’s like someone switched my brain on and off continuously throughout the day.
“I wasn’t really prepared for these withdrawal effects. It’s such a double edged sword, because I don’t want to go back but going forward feels so hard.

“Why does it have to take so long for chemicals to adjust in your body and brain?”
Her son Leo-Hunter had been treated in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and she was kept in the adult ICU after his birth.
On Christmas Day, she shared a heartfelt post in which she paid tribute to the NHS staff who “worked through the night to save my life”.
Earlier this week she sobbed as she revealed in her darkest moments she forgot that she had a son.
She also said she had gone temporarily blind and “my brain shut down”.
The reality TV star added there had been times she had wished that airplanes would crash into her house and could not think about anything “except death”.
“I was scared of everything in my house… I couldn’t see, couldn’t smell, couldn’t talk… when I would talk I would panic because every word that came out of my mouth didn’t make sense,” she said.
“I was not alive, I couldn’t have a normal thought. My brain basically shut down.
“When something really traumatic happens your brain can’t process it properly… and it means you live in fear.”
