UPDATE: |Jesy Nelson gives major hospital update after pregnancy health scare with unborn twins News

The Little Mix singer had an emergency procedure due to a rare condition

Jesy Nelson updated her followers on social media after she’s been kept in hospital for “monitoring” after a major procedure following a pregnancy health scare.

The former Little Mix singer revealed that she’s currently suffering from pre-stage twin-to-twin syndrome (TTTS), meaning her babies were at risk of developing the rare condition that causes an imbalance of blood flow.

It means that there is an “abnormality of the placenta”, as described by the NHS, and she was in need of an emergency procedure which proved to be a success for the star.

Jesy has kept her Instagram followers updated on her journey in her first pregnancy after she announced the news in January this year.

The 33-year-old pop star is expecting her first children with her partner Zion Foster and explained earlier this month that she had been feeling ill and had been struggling to breathe, so she had to undergo a procedure to give her babies the “best chance” of survival.

She said: “”Hey guys, so we are just giving you an update on our situation. So I’ve been feeling a bit poorly like the past few days. Been having a few of the symptoms that I need to watch out for – which is like my belly tightening, struggle breathing.

“So today we came into the hospital to just have a check-up basically. Just in case. And unfortunately the symptoms have got worse so we now have to have … they have to perform the procedure, which is obviously not what we wanted to happen.

“But it’s necessary because it’s gonna give our babies like the best chance of surviving. So yeah, we’re just waiting to go in. And we’re just hoping and praying for the best really. I feel gutted. I feel absolutely gutted because I really was hoping that we wouldn’t even be in this position.”

Offering her fans a positive update while still in the hospital on Sunday 6th April, Jesy shared: “Happy Sunday – 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.”

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

Jesy had previously explained that her twins are Mono/Di twins, which means her two unborn children are currently feeding off just one placenta instead of two.

In a following clip also posted to her story, Jesy shared that as she’s still in the hospital she hasn’t been going outside much. She added: “Unfortunately we can’t, well can – Zion takes me out in the wheelchair down the road but that’s as far as we can go.

The singer ended the clip: “But yeah, so, have the best Sunday ever, enjoy the sunshine and we’ll be keeping you updated on our journey. Love you guys lots.”
