Los Angeles, March 4 – Hailey Bieber, the wife of singer-songwriter Justin Bieber, has spoken about her medical condition. She revealed that she was diagnosed with a serious medical condition before she conceived her son, Jack Blues.
Hailey, 29, appeared on the SHE MD podcast and discussed her journey to welcome her now 16-month-old son, whom she shares with her husband, Justin Bieber, 32, according to the ‘People’ magazine.
During the conversation, podcast co-host Mary Alice Haney asked Hailey if she was trying to get pregnant or if her pregnancy was a surprise. It was a surprise. She told me that this was going to happen because I was like”, Hailey, referring to podcast co-host Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, who is also her OB/GYN.
“And I told her, ‘Don’t get pregnant’”, Dr. Aliabadi chimed in, before asking if Hailey wanted to explain the condition she had before she got pregnant.
“Yes. So, I had a septum in my uterus, and Dr. A kept saying, ‘Well, we need to look at this and keep an eye on it before you get pregnant because it could potentially be an issue’”, recalled Hailey. ‘I don’t really know. We've got to see. I might have to give you a small surgery for it. Not sure’. And I was like, ‘Okay. Well, I’m not thinking about getting pregnant right now, so we’ll just cross that bridge when we get there’. And then I magically got pregnant”.
And then she calls me, and she’s like, ‘I’m pregnant!’ And I’m like, ‘No”, Aliabadi said.
According to ‘People’, Haney then asked Aliabadi if she could explain what a uterine septum is and what the risks are associated with it. “So, a uterine septum is genetic. Again, we’re born with it. So basically, imagine you have a normal-shaped uterus. But inside the cavity of the uterus, imagine this little wall that comes in, this thin wall that comes in”, Aliabadi said. "You can have a mild, moderate or a severe septum. Basically we measure it on ultrasound. If it’s less than 1 cm, it’s mild. If it’s 1 to 2 cm, it’s moderate”.
