‘I’ll catch the trolls before they give me their two cents because I didn’t push my baby out which was (mind you) out of my control,’ she wrote.
‘There’s nothing easy about a cesarean either….the tugging, the pushing, the sounds, the smells, the feeling of no control, the fear of something going wrong, the recovery it all terrifies me.
‘But I would do it all again in a heart beat…’
Sharing intimate photographs of inside her birth suite, the young mother, who was accompanied by her husband, revealed how she was filled with different emotions.
The mother-of-two has revealed how she bounced back into shape – simply by doing housework and going on walks with her young children
‘The top photo captures me at my weakest point and my husband incredibly helpless,’ she said.
‘The middle photo captures the sound of Swayde’s cry and visual of his privates and bottom photo captured the most incredible feeling of all, two parents falling in love at first sight.’
‘No matter how we birth or how our babies come into our lives we all experience fear, excitement and fall in love.
‘Natural, caesarean, surrogate, adoption what ever the situation we all go through the journey in some way shape or form and we all should be dam proud of ourselves.’

The latest social media post comes just a day after she shared the progress of her incredible postpartum body transformation.
She revealed how she bounced back to her svelte figure.
‘For now it’s vacuuming, steam mop, picking up toys, endless trips up and down my stairs, picking up the bebes and making the bed that will be my cardio,’ she said.
The mother-of-two said she has to keep her workouts light, but wanted to to start right away to give herself renewed focus as well as a routine.
‘Currently only able to do the nutrition component, I have been granted permission from my doctor to do light cardio but between juggling a new home, new born, toddler, running a business and my socials it’s proving to be a tad difficult.’
