Christina Applegate Overcame Breast Exposure Fear

Christina Applegate overcame her hatred of exposing her breasts following the birth of her daughter Sadie - she "tore" off her medical gown in the hospital so she could feel closer to her newborn baby.
 
The star and her fiance, musician Martyn LeNoble, became first-time parents to little Sadie Grace last month (Jan11).
 
Applegate admits she doesn't "have a good relationship" with her chest after undergoing a double mastectomy to treat breast cancer in 2008 - but she battled her fears while she was in hospital.
 
Speaking to U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres about the birth, she explains, "Just that moment, pulling her out and I dropped my gown which I don't do.

"This part of my body (my chest) is very private to me... that's a real private place. A place that I don't have a good relationship with, let's say.
 
"But at that moment of pulling her out and I just tore that thing (gown) off. There's a room full of people that I don't know.

"Nurses and doctors. And she and I just lay there. It was the best thing that's ever happened to me."
