Hollywood hot icon and model Hailey Bieber (29) opened up about the heartbreaking pregnancy behind-the-scenes she had to endure before holding her son Jack Blues and the urgent moments when she feared for her life.
Recently, Hailey Bieber appeared on the podcast "SHE MD" and confessed that before having her 19-month-old son Jack, she received a shocking diagnosis she did not even know about. Before pregnancy, she had a genetic condition called "uterine septum (uterine septum)", a malformation in which a wall forms inside the uterus dividing the space, which is a dangerous condition that dramatically increases the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth during pregnancy.
At the time, the attending physician warned, "You absolutely must not get pregnant now because you may need surgery," but as if fate were playing a trick, Hailey learned she was pregnant shortly afterward. The physician recalled the harrowing moment, saying, "When I heard the pregnancy news I shouted, 'No!' "
Hailey's condition was at a "moderate" level, with a 25%–40% chance of miscarriage and the risk of preterm birth approaching 20%. She said, "Every moment was terror as I watched the wall (septum) inside my uterus expand as the baby grew."
But even in the desperate situation she endured the hardship with a positive attitude, saying, "I believe everything will be fine," and fortunately baby Jack was able to prepare to come into the world healthy.
The pregnancy process was arduous, but the delivery was truly a "war." At 39 weeks, when her amniotic fluid began leaking, Hailey attempted an induced labor and endured labor for 18 hours without an epidural. She recalled the time as "the hardest thing in my life and truly crazy."
The real crisis came immediately after childbirth. Postpartum hemorrhage occurred. Hailey confessed the terror of death she felt at the time, saying, "I lost so much blood that the thought 'I might not survive' flashed through my mind."
Although she safely held her son, Hailey said she experienced depression in the process of accepting her changed body after childbirth. Seeing her widened pelvis and changed body shape, she said she needed "time to be kind to myself," adding, "My body is not the same as before, but I decided to accept it as it is," showing a more mature side as a mother.
Afterward, she overcame the crisis with devoted love for her son and strong maternal love despite rumors of discord with Justin Bieber.
