Pregnant Jesy Nelson shares health update from hospital bed after emergency surgery

Pop star Jesy Nelson has updated fans from hospital amid her turbulent pregnancy with twins.

The former Little Mix star is currently expecting her first children with boyfriend Zion Foster, making her the third member of the hit girlband to become a mum.

Jesy, 33, and Zion, 26, have had a rough time of things thus far, as she recently underwent emergency surgery upon discovering her unborn babies were at risk of dying.

In early March, she explained in an emotional video that they were ‘living off one placenta’ due to pre-stage TTTS (twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome).

Then, last week, after a lengthy social media silence, the Boyz hitmaker posted a video message, confirming all was well and the TTTS had ‘cleared up’.

Now, in her latest video, Jesy has thanked her followers for their supportive messages, beginning: ‘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.’

Rubbing her stomach as she sat on the bed, she continued: ‘We just wanted to thank you so much for all your supportive, beautiful messages. You guys have been so lovely; we’ve seen all of your lovely messages and stories, and it’s really helped us keep going.’

‘We’re still in here!’, she declared, remaining optimistic as she panned around the hospital room.

‘Hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine. Unfortunately, we can’t! Well, we can. I mean, Zion takes me out in the wheelchair down the road, but that’s as far as we can go.’

Jesy concluded the Instagram Story by promising to keep her loyal fans updated on the ‘journey’.

On Mother’s Day, the Brit Award winner explained with a smile that her operation had been a ‘success’, expressing her gratitude for ‘the most amazing doctors’ taking care of her.

Jesy then shared that her cervix is ‘very, very short’, hence why she is still hospitalised because her waters could break ‘at any point’, despite her being so early on in the pregnancy.

‘I can’t leave the hospital until I’m a certain amount of weeks, so every week we’re just like, “Please, please, please, stay in there!”,’ she begged, grabbing her tummy.

Thankfully, Zion is by her side every step of the way. The musician also announced he will be running the London Marathon to raise money for the Twins Trust.

He now has just three weeks to train but feels passionately about fundraising for the charity that ‘literally saves lives’.

Jesy, who left Little Mix due to mental health struggles in 2020, began dating Zion in 2022 after meeting through mutual friends.

They briefly split but got back together last summer before confirming her pregnancy in January.

In a Q&A not long after the announcement, Jesy said she was ‘very shocked’ to take a positive pregnancy test, as it ‘wasn’t planned’.

However, she felt ‘instantly happy’ when she made the discovery.

She also has ideas for names but is keeping them a secret for the time being, as well as the sexes of her twins.

Her baby joy comes after Jesy said on several occasions that motherhood wasn’t right for her, admitting she never felt a ‘maternal’ instinct.
