First time mum Jessie J has celebrated the safe arrival of her son by sharing a video of her dancing just hours before his birth on Instagram.
The hit making singer, who gave birth last month to her son, told Instagram followers how she's spent "nine months prepping for a natural birth" only for it to "go in a completely different direction".
Jessie gave birth to her baby boy via a C-section, as she detailed in her Instagram post which she accompanied with a video of her dancing and grooving in her hospital gown whilst awaiting her trip down to theatre for surgery.
Writing to her 13 million followers, Jessie shared: "I spent nine months prepping for a natural birth.
"Strict food, the epi no, yoga, swimming, hypnobirthing methods. I had a tens machine, a birthing comb, I wanted a pool birth ideally with no medication. BUT this was MY plan to stay disciplined and focused. I knew full well it could and would most likely go in a completely different direction.
"When people asked me, 'So what’s your birth plan' I said, 'I am open to surrendering to the safest way for my baby boy to arrive.'"
She then revealed that her plans for a natural birth went awry and she needed a C section instead as she continued: "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. 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 was advised to have a planned C section for the safest birth. This video was taken 5 minutes before I went down to surgery. I went into active labour the night before and feeling all the feels but mostly just excitement for us to meet our baby boy."
She finished: "I guess I’m sharing this because so many people have said, 'Do you feel like you missed out on the birth you wanted?'
"I had a birth and it was everything I wanted because I got him at the end of it, that’s all that matters."
Fans of the musician have flooded the comments with messages of congratulations and celebration of her new little one. One follower commented: "So thankful you shared this. And so happy for you."
Another added: " Such a powerful message... and such an amazing woman."
Others praised Jessie for her honesty about having a C section, as one added: " Welcome to the world bbboy! Congrats Jessie. Planned c-s overrr here due to c-section. Same feelings, just go get them!!"
Another wrote: "You can plan all you want, then baby has the final say! Much love to you all!"
Jessie has yet to reveal the name of newborn son.
