Jessie J shares glimpse of newborn son after detailing labour ordeal: ‘He’s everything I wanted’

Jessie J has given fans a glimpse of her baby boy as she declared that he is “all my dreams come true”.

The PriceTag singer confirmed the little one’s arrival on Instagram last month and said she underwent an emergency C-section after her son was the wrong way around.

Speaking to her 13 million followers after the ordeal, she said: “A week ago my whole life changed. My son entered this world, and my heart grew twice the size.

“The feeling is indescribable; I am flying in love. He is magic. He is literally all my dreams come true. He is my whole world.”

Now, the Who You Are singer shared the first glimpse of life as a mum as she shared an intimate photo with her new baby on her Instagram Story.

In the adorable photo, fans could see Jessie’s holding her new son tiny hand.

The British singer’s candid photo comes hours after she detailed how the birth she had planned couldn’t go ahead due to her son being in the wrong position days before her due date.

Alongside a video of her dancing in a hospital gown, she spoke about the lengths she had gone to have a “natural birth”.

She penned: “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’.She continued: “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.”

After sharing her post, the music star was inundated with messages of support from fans and fellow celebs who applauded her sentiments.

Actress Hilary Swank commented: “Love this, thank you so much for sharing!! and congratulations on the most extraordinary gift, isn’t it heaven on earth? It’s the most magical thing in the entire world. enjoy every second.”

“Such a powerful message... and such an amazing woman,” wrote Vicky Pattison while Michelle Visage penned: “Said perfectly”.
