show moreLindsay Clancy was described as the perfect mother. She doted on her three children and she worked as a midwife. But in January 2023.... she committed the worst crime imaginable and took the lives of her three children, but why?
Her defence say that she had post-partum psychosis, the prosecution say she knew what she was doing. But how can we ever really know or understand, how this rare but potentially fatal illness can affect a new mother?

She was diagnosed with post-partum psychosis and has lived through an unimaginable experience. And on her darkest day, she attempted to take the life of her baby. Lacey is here to tell her story.
This is Real.
