Taking to Instagram to repost a powerful message about cesarian sections, 32-year-old Rochelle revealed the emotional struggle behind her birth story, hinting at criticisms she has faced since giving birth via a C-section.

In a post that read: "I'm a C-section mama. Epidural. Catheter. Stomach cut open. Organs pulled out. And a scar left behind to remind me how I birthed my babies to safety", Rochelle gave an insight into her birth experience.

"My body didn't fail me", the post continued. "It might not have been what I planned, but it's my story. C-section still IS birth".
