The ‘Price Tag’ singer, 35, told fans in an honest update about her pregnancy that her plan for a natural birth was changed after a 40-week scan revealed her baby was the “wrong way around,” making it safer for her to have a caesarean. The singer gave birth the previous week and announced the birth on 19 May to her first child with basketball player boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman, 39.

Jessie J is well-known for her unique sound and stage presence, which fuses soulful singing with modern R&B, pop, electropop, and hip-hop rhythms.

On Thursday, Jessie posted a video on Instagram showing herself dancing around the hospital room after having a C-section.

She wrote a long story along her dancing video on her Instagram post:

I spent 9 months prepping 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.

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”

I had a scan at a few days off of 40 weeks and he was completely the wrong way around and stuck as he was a little chunkier than your average and long. I did everything to try and turn him for 2 months but he said “Nah mum I wanna make an entrance out the roof, not the front door”.

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.

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 🤍🫧
