Today, the singer discussed her symptoms with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome while her partner Zion Foster and her partner Jesy Nelson took to the This Morning sofa.
Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson and her partner Zion Foster made their TV debut with their “miracle twins” on This Morning today as she opened up about the symptoms she experienced with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
Back in May, Jesy gave birth to twin girls, naming them Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster.
During her interview with Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, the singer opened up about the moment she found out her her twin girls had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome – a rare condition that threatened their lives before they were born.
The star has revealed the symptoms she experienced before having her Fetoscopic laser, a “high risk procedure,” after sharing their heartbreaking journey with fans on social media.
Jesy, who revealed she was being scanned weekly, said: “Even when we were told we were pre stage TTS, I still felt like we didn’t think it was going to happen.” Jesy acknowledged that she didn’t believe she would have to undergo the procedure because she was “in denial” about it.
When Jesy referred to the signs to watch out for, she said, “There were signs to watch out for if your belly starts to feel really tight like a drum, or if you’re having trouble breathing.” Jesy wasn’t sure if they were just “normal” pregnancy signs when she first saw them herself.
Jesy revealed two days after her scan that she had gone to the park and had “couldn’t even walk” because she was so exhausted. What is normal and what is not when you’re pregnant with twins?
She thought to herself, “I’m going to be out of breath because I’m pregnant with twins.” My belly will obviously be very tight because I’m developing two people.
She then asked her partner, Zion, to feel her belly because she was unable to identify anything in the world. After experiencing his partner’s stomach throughout her pregnancy, Zion was the one who recognized the differences.
Zion told Alison and Dermott, “It felt really, really tight.” Jesy explained that her stomach had lost the “squidgy” feeling, and she said, “My fingers couldn’t go in.”
The hospital was where they went the following day, and Jesy was required to undergo the procedure that day. Zion remarked on the frightening moment, “Overnight, we went from pre-stage to having the procedure now.”
Dr. Ruwan Wimalasundera, Jesy’s doctor, said, “We only do it when the risks are greater than the risks of doing it.” We had no choice at this point because things were getting worse so quickly.
In their mother’s womb, identical twins share the same placenta, and some blood vessels join them. One baby can become anaemic while another can receive too much blood, leading to heart failure, because twins with TTS don’t have an equal flow of blood between the babies.
Elsewhere, the mum of two revealed she was in a “constant state of fear” during her pregnancy as she revealed she felt like she couldn’t enjoy the experience. “I almost felt from that point I couldn’t really enjoy my pregnancy because I was constantly worried that something would happen,” she said. “I could only take it two weeks at a time.”
