Earlier in December, Sharna Burgess gave an inside look on what parenting for her son Zane has been like, stating that she’s been having “intrusive mom thoughts.” In her Instagram caption, she explained that she’s had “super dark thoughts” about her baby, specifically about things that could potentially hurt him. “5 months in and I still get them but I have learned to tame them and understand them and most of all … realized I am not alone,” she said.
The professional ballroom dancer opened up more about these intrusive thoughts while she was on “Good Morning America” on December 20. “I felt myself having this panic attack,” she said. “I’ve never had a panic attack before.” She then explained that the scary scenarios include falling down the stairs and getting into a car accident while she is with her son.

Burgess knows she’s not alone, which has helped her tremendously with raising Zane. She also mentioned that her mom has given her a lot of support. “I have depended on my mum a lot these last few months,” she captioned her Instagram post on December 2. She said that her mom has taken care of Zane and has given her “unsolicited” advice. “Mums just know things and I totally get that now,” she added.
