Jesy Nelson Shares Health Update After Undergoing Emergency Surgery While Pregnant with Twins

Jesy Nelson is updating fans on how she’s doing after undergoing surgery due to a complication with her pregnancy.

On Sunday, April 6, the 33-year-old Little Mix alum — who is expecting twins with fellow musician Zion Foster — shared a video on her Instagram Stories, filmed from her hospital room. She wore a flamingo-print pajama set as she sat on a bed and talked to the camera. Foster made brief appearances in the background.

“We just wanted to come on here because we are another week further along and we feel so grateful and blessed that these little babies are still going strong,” she said, while rubbing her belly.

“And we just wanted to also thank you so much for all your support and beautiful messages,” she continued. “You guys have been so lovely. We’ve seen all of your lovely messages and stories, and it’s just really helped us keep going. So we just wanted to say thank you for that.”

“And yeah, we’re still in here [at the hospital], going strong,” she added, before telling fans she hoped they could “enjoy the sunshine” outside. “Unfortunately, we can’t. Well, we can. Zion takes me out in the wheelchair down the road, but that’s as far as we can go.”

Nelson concluded her video by promising to provide future updates on the couple’s “journey.”

Last month, Nelson revealed that the twins are monochorionic, diamniotic (MCDA), and therefore share a single placenta. In an emotional video posted on March 5, she explained that “one baby might take all the nutrients” from the placenta, or “the other might, which — really awful to say — could lead to both babies dying.”

Just days later, on March 8, she shared an update revealing that she was experiencing symptoms that doctors had advised her to “watch out for,” including her stomach tightening and difficulty breathing. She captioned the video, “TTTS update,” referring to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.

After a checkup at the hospital, Nelson said, doctors determined that “they have to perform the procedure, which is obviously not what we wanted to happen.”

She added: “But it’s necessary because it’s going to give our babies the best chance of surviving.”

Then on March 30, which was Mother’s Day in the U.K., Nelson shared yet another update on Instagram. In the clip, the singer — who was joined by Foster — said the couple had “some amazing news.”

“The TTTS has cleared up. The operation was a success, which is just absolutely incredible. We are so, so lucky,” she said, before sharing that she had to remain in the hospital in order to reduce her risk of preterm labor. “Every week, we’re like, please, please stay in there.”

“One week at a time,” Foster chimed in.

Nelson first announced her pregnancy on Instagram on Jan. 12, sharing a polaroid-style photo of herself and Foster with the caption: “She’s eating for 3 now .”
