Australian fitness trainer Chontel Duncan gamed fame earlier this year for her rock hard abs that she used to show off in progression photos on her Instagram account and revealed this week that those abs actually caused complications during delivery of her son, Jeremy. ‘

Duncan returned to Instagram to confess that her delivery doctors ” struggled to rip Jeremiah from my tummy as my abs locked him in super tight as I began vomiting during the operation.”

She revealed that she is left with an unusually long c-section scar because of her abs.

“This is why my scar was cut up on my right side because the surgeon had to cut me further an use forceps to successfully get Jeremiah out,” she wrote in a caption to a photo of her bikini-line scar.

[Part 2] I CRIED I felt like I failed… but then @sam_hiitaustralia reminded me of my mantra which was “to go through all means necessary so baby feels nothing” & I smiled. With confidence I signed the forms & within 20mins had my baby in my arms. They struggled to rip Jeremiah from my tummy as my abs locked him in super tight as I began vomiting during the operation. This is why my scar was cut up on my right side because the surgeon had to cut me further an use forceps to successfully get Jeremiah out. Perhaps a down side to a strong core ? I healed according to my doctor normally, my scar isn’t small, it’s quiet large & I can feel in the centre scar tissue, I tried Bepanthen Scar Treatment & Skincerity breathable masque an this is what I have been left with. I would love 3 more children & I will always try for a vaginal birth with each one. So to all the women out there wearing a cesarean scar, I am VERY proud of what mine means & for the beautiful gift I received through mine. They are memories of the day we all became mummies ???❤️?

Despite the trauma, Duncan said she is happy for the experience and posted her scar out of solidarity with other women who wear pregnancy-related scars.
