Jessie J welcomes son

Published Jun 3, 2023 04:00 am
Internationally renowned singer Jessie J is now a mom. She recently gave birth to a baby boy, sharing the news with fans herself via an online post. On Instagram, Jessie uploaded a video of her dancing while in a hospital gown. Her huge baby bump was obvious. She noted how she welcomed her bundle of joy via C-section despite spending the last nine months preparing for a natural birth. "Strict food, the epi no, yoga, swimming, hypnobirthing methods. I had a tens machine, a birthing comb, I wanted a pool birth ideally with no medication. BUT this was MY plan to stay disciplined and focused. I knew full well it could and would most likely go in a completely different direction," she said. "When people asked me 'So what’s your birth plan' I said 'I am open to surrendering to the safest way for my baby boy to arrive.'"
Jessie related she had a scan at a few days off of 40 weeks and her baby boy was completely the wrong way around and stuck. He was also "a little chunkier than your average and long." And so she did everything to try and turn him for two months. "But he said 'Nah mum I wanna make an entrance out the roof, not the front door,'" she quipped. Jessie shared: "I was advised to have a planned C section for the safest birth. This video was taken 5 minutes before I went down to surgery. I went into active labour the night before and feeling all the feels but mostly just excitement for us to meet our baby boy." She capped off her post by explaining why she's talking to the public about her milestone. "I guess I’m sharing this because so many people have said 'Do you feel like you missed out on the birth you wanted?' I had a birth and it was everything I wanted because I got him at the end of it, that’s all that matters," she ended. Note that prior, Jessie suffered a miscarriage. Jessie J is in a relationship with Chanan Safir Colman, a basketball player. On her Instagram story, Jessie shared more inspiring messages. "I don't think I realised the impact my post would have on so many women who have felt ashamed or guilt from having a c section. Planned or emergency. If no one has told you I will. It is by no means the easy way out," she stressed. "It is a birth. Politely f\*\*\* anyone who makes you feel anything different. You had a BELLY BIRTH. Whether it was choice or not you did or had to do what was right for your baby and for you to be healthy and arrive safely. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. Hugging you all. We did it. We DID IT!!!," she added. Jessie also thanked those who showed her love and support throughout her pregnancy journey. "I will only focus on that. Having a child has shifted my perspective and energy completely," she said. "I actively choose to only focus on the people who get it and support me. Everything else is background noise." She reiterated how she embraces her new life, new body, and new world with no apologies. "I will be on the beach with my body on show, I've missed too many moments in life caring about what people will say or think. I will be parenting my way and owning it. I love it here. Not missing out on any joy because of some opinionated hater. Block button is now a love language to myself if your vibes feel off \*YAWN\*"
