PR wants this framed as a triumphant victory of motherhood over medical odds, emphasizing Hailey's resilience and healthy outcome.
Insiders are buzzing about the doctor's blunt warning to avoid pregnancy and how the couple proceeded despite the high-risk diagnosis.
Uterine septum diagnosis confirmed on March 3 SHE MD podcast; 25-40% miscarriage risk cited by Dr. Aliabadi; Jack born Aug 23, 2024.
Hailey defied medical warnings to build her family, proving she trusts her gut over the statistics.
In a moment of serious vulnerability, Hailey Bieber has finally spilled the receipts regarding her high-risk pregnancy with husband Justin Bieber. On Tuesday, March 3, the Rhode founder appeared on the SHE MD podcast alongside her OBGYN Dr. ThaΓ―s Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney for an hourlong deep dive into her health history. While the couple has been relatively private about their journey to parenthood, Hailey is now revealing that she carries a uterine septum, a genetic condition where a thin wall grows inside the uterus cavity. This diagnosis, which she received prior to conceiving, placed her pregnancy in a significantly higher risk category for potential complications.
The medical stakes were far higher than fans might have suspected during the initial announcement. Dr. Aliabadi was blunt during the conversation, recounting that she explicitly warned Hailey not to get pregnant due to the nature of the condition. The doctor specified that Hailey's moderate septum came with a 25 to 40 percent risk of miscarriage, alongside a 10 to 20 percent risk of preterm delivery. These are substantial odds that typically make medical professionals hesitant to recommend proceeding without major intervention, yet Hailey remained focused on the possibility of a successful outcome despite the clinical data.
Despite the doctor's cautionary advice, the timeline shows the couple moved forward swiftly after their surprise announcement. Hailey confirmed she was pregnant in May of 2024, and the couple welcomed their son, Jack Blues, on August 23, 2024. Reflecting on that decision during the podcast, Hailey admitted she was initially told she might not want to take the chance, but her response was to cross the bridge when she got to it. She noted that she "magically got pregnant" shortly after the initial consultation, defying the initial prognosis that suggested conception would be difficult or dangerous.
Now that Jack is a healthy 16-month-old, Hailey is looking back on the experience with a sense of relief and gratitude. She stated during the episode that she believed everything was going to work out fine, a mindset that ultimately proved correct as "it all worked out." The conversation also touched on the challenges of building her business, Rhode, while managing postpartum recovery and motherhood. This candid admission marks her first time speaking publicly about the specific medical condition, offering a new layer of context to their family narrative.
