Hailey Bieber Opens Up About Medical Condition That Put Her at Risk for Miscarriage: ‘I Believed Everything Was Gonna Work Out Fine’
In a moment of vulnerability, Hailey Bieber is opening up about complications during her pregnancy with her and husband Justin Bieber’s son Jack Blues. On Tuesday (March 3), Hailey Bieber sat down with her OBGYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney, co-hosts of the SHE MD podcast, for a candid conversation on her health and postpartum recovery.
In the hourlong conversation, the trio talk about Bieber’s health history, what it was like building Rhode while being a mom, and the medical condition that put her pregnancy at higher risk of miscarriage. In a moment of candid honesty, Bieber revealed that Dr. Aliabadi diagnosed her with uterine septum prior to her pregnancy and that the doctor warned her that the condition may cause complications.
“I told her don’t get pregnant,” Dr. Aliabadi said. “I’m not thinking about getting pregnant right now, so we’ll cross the bridge when we get there,” Bieber said of her response at the time. “And then, I magically got pregnant.” Hailey and Justin announced that Hailey was pregnant with their first child in May of 2024.
The couple welcomed their now 16-month-old son just a few months later on Aug. 23, 2024. Although Hailey has previously opened up about complications she faced during pregnancy and childbirth, the podcast appearance was her first time speaking on uterine septum.
