This mum shared a C-section selfie for a very important reason

"It's like you've been hit by a bus."

Every woman's experience of giving birth is different but one thing is true of all experiences - it's no walk in the park. A mum blogger has shared a photo of her C-section scar online to prove that despite what some people may believe, having a section is not the 'easy way out'. Olivia White posted this photo on Instagram, showing her painful-looking belly healing after giving birth.

  In her caption, she wrote that she feels like a "gutted shark."

"This is what you really look like a few hours post c-section," she said. "To anyone who thinks it's the easy way out, try having a 6 inch gash in your abdomen like a gutted shark who had the body parts of the surfer it ate retrieved! That's then sewn back together with fishing wire while it feels like your vital organs are trying to escape." "After that it's like you've been hit by a bus which then backed over you just to make sure it didn't miss you the first time!" "Worst of all you'll feel as if you'll spend your entire life wearing nanna knickers up around your waist because the thought of anything settling in the canyon between your gut and pubic region is the stuff nightmares are made of."

Olivia did say that the ordeal was worth it to help her bring her children into the world.

"I wouldn't change it! Because if it wasn't for the ability to deliver my babies this way they might not be here today."
