This comes after Jessie opened up about having a C-section after finding out at the 40-week scan that her baby was the “completely wrong way around”.
Sharing a video of her dancing in the hospital, she said was ‘prepping for a natural birth’, ideally in a pool with no medication.
“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,” she said.
“I did everything to try and turn him for two months but he said ‘Nah mum I wanna make an entrance out the roof, not the front door’.”
“I had a birth and it was everything I wanted because I got him at the end of it, that’s all that matters,” she concluded.
