Jessie J Gives Birth to Her Baby Boy via C-Section

Jessie J: “I 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.’”

Not all births turn out the way moms dreamed or wanted. Although Jessie J wanted to do an unmedicated, water birth when she gave birth to her baby boy, there were changes. “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 wrote on her Instagram. “I am open to surrendering to the safest way for my baby boy to arrive.”

And it did at her 40-week mark when her son was in the wrong direction.

The safest way to have her baby

Despite all her efforts to turn him around for two months, Jessie J accepted that there are things she can’t control. “I 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 confides.

According to her ultrasound, her baby was “stuck” and a little “chunkier” compared to the usual “average and long,” leading to her agreement to have a C-section instead. Does she feel bad that she didn’t have the dream birth she wanted? It’s why she took to Instagram to answer the question:  ‘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 replies. “To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again.”

All that matters is that both baby and mom are safe

Sometimes, it’s scary to deviate from the birth plan especially when it’s a completely new experience. Pregnancy books don’t always cover all the risks and only trained medical professionals know how to troubleshoot when things go down. But at the end of it all, the safety and health of the baby are what matters. Congratulations on the new baby boy, Jessie J!

Jessie J’s son is also a rainbow baby with the singer revealing her miscarriage in 2021.
