"Well ... Here we go Ant Anstead ... our world is about to get rocked — in all the best ways of course. One week until my scheduled C-section. I chose to do this because I had an emergency C-section with Brayden and the whole experience and recovery was really hard on me physically and emotionally. I really don’t feel comfortable trying to go down that route again," she captioned a photo of herself holding her pregnant belly.
