How does it feel to be the universe’s favorite if you were able to get through your first trimester of pregnancy without experiencing any noticeable hiccups? Because so many of us who have experienced pregnancy can relate to Jessie J’s video about becoming pregnant and in the first trimester.
The singer made her pregnancy public earlier this month and pleaded with her fans to “be gentle” with her as she adjusts to life as an expectant mother over the coming months.
Jessie J discloses pregnancy loss following her decision to “carry a baby on my own.”
She tweeted on January 6: “Honestly, ya girl just wants to ugly cry in public eating a chocolate-covered pickle with no questions asked.But the video she recently shared with clips from her first trimester is what really speaks to everyone who has gone through those…unique first 12 weeks. Because it can be quite difficult for many people to deal with the weariness, nausea, raging hormones, and general worry.
Jessie J captioned the video, “I was warned about that first trimester and it was WOOFY WOOF. And that, eh, pretty of sums it up.
For the first time ever, Jessie J discusses miscarriage: “I’ve never felt so lonely in my life.”
She can be seen throwing up nonstop in the video, whether it be in garbage cans, toilets, or barf bags. During certain shots, she becomes pleased, fatigued, and sick. It is incredibly relatable and honest.“I can’t even explain to you how sick I feel,” she says at one point. “Look at the state of me.”
Last May, Jessie J opened up about her 2021 miscarriage for the first time during an emotional episode of Steven Bartlett’s podcast, “The Diary of a CEO.” She described her experience as “the most honest, raw, emotional, candid, vulnerable conversation” she’s ever had publicly.
“I felt like I’d been given everything I’d ever wanted and then someone had gone, ‘But you can’t have it’,” she described at the time. “When I got home that night and I lay there, I’ve never felt so lonely in my life…I just remember laying there, knowing it was still there, but it wasn’t there.”
Anyone who’s experienced pregnancy loss can identify with the pain she describes. Which makes it all the more bittersweet that she’s gotten through the first trimester of her current pregnancy—vomit and all.
