Emma suffers from endometriosis - an excruciating condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it - meaning she could not have children naturally. In the video she said: 'This is the seventh of 27th morning I have woken up in pain. It's isolating, you really want a holiday from yourself and you can't get one.
'So even the most well-meaning doctors talking to you about your endometriosis or the fatigue or the pain or the mood stuff that happens because of the pain and mood imbalance - when they say 'are you going to get a break?'. 'You just think - I can't pay for a ticket anywhere. This is where I live. And right now this is not a body to peacefully live within.'.
