Just last week, Turia took to her blog saying that lots of people had been asking her how she was feeling about the birth.

‘“Are you nervous?” they’ll ask me,’ she said.

‘Yeah, of course, with any big change approaching, there’s a certain element of uncertainty.

‘And when you know that you’re going to experience pain, that can be pretty scary,’ she added.

But Turia went on to insist she’s not looking at it that way.

I’m re-framing it,’ she said. ‘It’s the same technique I use before every major surgery I have.

‘I write a list of all the bad things that could happen – it’s going to hurt, I don’t know if I can do it, what if I can’t handle the pain.

‘Then I write a list of all the good things – how grateful I am to still be here, to have a beautiful partner like Michael, and to get to experience this.

‘How cool it will be to meet my son. That one day I’ll be able to watch him surfing, diving and hanging with Michael.

‘Then I’ve got a choice how I look at it.

‘I could look at it in the negative way, or the empowering way.

‘If I look at it in the empowering way, I feel better – so that’s the way I choose,’ Turia concluded.

Huge congratulations to Turia and Michael on their adorable new addition to the family.
