For months, Jessie J prepared herself to have a “natural” birth, but at around month seven, a scan revealed her baby was completely the wrong way around. He was also “chunkier” than average, so there was a chance he didn’t have a lot of room to flip around.
The 35-year-old singer revealed she tried everything she could to turn him around the next two months, but it just wouldn’t happen.
” 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.
Her post received a lot of love and support. More than she could have imagined, so one day later, she went on her Insta Stories to talk a little more about the birthing process.
I don’t think I realized 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. It is a birth. Politely f— anyone who makes you feel anything different. You had a BELLY BIRTH. Whether it was a choice or not you did or had to do what was right for your baby and for you to be healthy and arrive safely.
And that is the truth! The world is full of judgement. We should all work on doing less of it.
