The star welcomed daughter Mia with her 'Strictly Come Dancing' boyfriend Gorka Marquez earlier this year following a difficult labour.
She has since shared a lengthy post on social media in which she laid out her past struggles with accepting her scar.
Gemma wrote: "This morning I stood and examined my C section scar. A neat 8cm scar on my lower abdomen. When I was told a section was our only option and that panic button was pressed my only thought was about Mia and her safety.
"It was only at home afterwards when I felt the numbness, saw the swelling, stitches and bruising that saddened, I thought 'what a mess my tummy is'."
Gemma continued: "Throw in walking like a T. rex, being unable to even sit up from bed unassisted & a load of new parent hormones I felt anything but myself. I was a new mum, yet I still had to be mothered myself.
"Now, 22 wks later seeing Mia thrive and play and respond to her name and smile away all the time makes me realise I’d go through it all again in a heartbeat. Mentally strong again and physically back to my training I feel Amazing!
"Because of my Scar I have a constant reminder of the day she was born and every single day when getting dressed I run my fingers over it and smile."
The star looks forward to educating her daughter about what mothers go through to welcome their childrenn. She added: "The day Mia points and ask me 'what's that mum?' I'll be able to say it's where you lived and where you came from. I'll probably liken it to a kangaroo carrying her joey with its head popping out."
