Jesy Nelson has shared the joyful news of giving birth to twin girls, following a challenging and emotional pregnancy journey.
The former Little Mix star took to Instagram to announce the arrival of her daughters, posting heartwarming photos of the newborns cradled in her and partner Zion’s arms. The twins, named Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, were born prematurely at 31 weeks and 5 days.
In her heartfelt caption, Jesy wrote: “It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We’ve never felt more in love.”
Jesy had been hospitalised since late March after being diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) — a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that affects identical twins sharing a placenta. She explained in a previous video that her babies were mono/di twins, meaning they shared one placenta, which can lead to uneven distribution of nutrients and complications.
Back in March, Jesy revealed she had to undergo emergency surgery to improve her babies’ chances of survival. “I’ve been feeling poorly the past few days… Unfortunately, the symptoms have got worse, so they now have to perform the procedure,” she said at the time.
Thankfully, the surgery was successful. “The TTTS has cleared up. The operation was a success, which is just absolutely incredible. We are so lucky to have the most amazing doctors,” she shared in a hopeful update.
Fans flooded Jesy’s post with love and congratulations, celebrating both the safe delivery and the uniquely beautiful names of her twin daughters.
