I did find this snippet from the friend potentially interesting - bit in bold, belowIn all the evidence discussed about the whole case, there has been no mention of LL's medical records - even just to say - nothing unusual. It would help to know if she had ever been prescribed any medication at the time of the killings. I still had this vague theory she may have had an abortion or miscarriage (particularly re her bedside reading material) and psychosis after a child dying is known about. Some anti depressants have strange effects on people too. Presumably, though they would have looked at her medical records and know if she had had an abortion or miscarriage.
But if she had to keep it secret (due to the alleged affair? or to keep it from her parents) it could have unhinged her dealing with other people's babies every day. Assuming it only started in 2015.
It's the only psychiatric cause I can think of that would trigger someone to start doing this. There hadn't been such high rates before.
Psychiatric disorders following fetal death: a population-based cohort study
Objectives Women have increased risks of severe mental disorders after childbirth and death of a child, but it remains unclear whether this association also applies to fetal loss and, if so, to which extent. We studied the risk of any inpatient or outpatient psychiatric treatment during the time...bmjopen.bmj.com

Dawn said Lucy had always wanted to be a nurse: ‘It was always her aspiration – her dream – to become a nurse and to help babies.
‘She told me she’d had quite a difficult birth herself and was quite poorly, and I think that’s affected a lot of her life.'
Whether it's a verified fact or not, IDK ( prosecutor & cops cautioned that LL was dishonest)
