Speaking in the video she said: “My second baby was almost 10lbs. I lost quite a lot of blood but they stitched me up and sent me on my way once I was ok that same day.

“A couple of days later I noticed a sort of weird smell coming from that area, I thought it was just my stitches.

“I mentioned it to my midwife, she said ‘just have some salt baths’ and I was fine.”

But as the days went on, Erin began to take a turn for the worse.

She continued: “About a week later I started to feel really unwell. I book an appointment with my midwife who had to actually examine me.

“Before that I have a bath, get clean. When I get out of the bath I notice something hanging out of me, so me being me, I pulled it out.

“I basically pulled out a piece of rotting retained placenta that was in my body a week after I gave birth. That’s what the smell was.”

Erin shared her discovery with her midwife who made a terrifying revelation.
