Sharna Burgess – Admits She Didn’t Have A Birth Plan

Childbirth, many will tell you, is an experience like no other. A few weeks after welcoming her first child, son Zane, the 37-year-old is sharing her experiences.

On Monday, the professional dancer unveiled her C-section scar in a mirror selfie wearing a black sport bra and grey bottoms.

“I didn’t expect a C-section,” Burgess wrote alongside the image. She added that she “didn’t necessarily have a birth plan but even my relaxed go with the flow approach got tested when we were told this was the safest option.”

She explained that even though “little Zane was trying so hard to get out,” she was in labor for over 30 hours and her water broke twice, only to be told she’s not “dilating hard enough.” “In the moment it was scary, s— even on the table it was scary. But Zane arrived healthy and happy and that was always the priority,” she reflected.

Speaking on her healing process, she said: “What I had no idea about was my recovery from this. I went in expecting a vaginal delivery and came out with a C-section. In total transparency I was afraid to look at my body for the first time afterwards. The incision and omg the swelling? I looked and thought “wow, I am utterly unrecognizable and my body has been through some serious s—. ” but of course it had… I grew a life inside me.”

However, she shared that holding her healthy son makes the pain and fear of labor all worth it, adding: “Physically mentally and emotionally postpartum is unlike anything else I’ve experienced.”

She then talked about the products that helped her on her way to recovery, naming Frida Mom’s ice packs and support belts, “and OMG their underwear! You don’t understand how important the right underwear is until you are postpartum.. trust me.”
