Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has revealed that she is suffering from some complications in her pregnancy and aims to raise awareness of the rare condition.

The musician took to social media with partner Zion Foster, updating fans on the situation.

Nelson, 33, explained that she is at risk of losing one or both of her unborn twins as a result of a rare health condition.

She said in the video, posted to Instagram: "So we just wanted to come on here and do a little video.

"As some of you may know, we are having twins, which is so exciting for us, and we just wanted to let you in on a bit of our journey of what we've been going through.

"So we are having identical twins, which is so exciting, we actually can't believe it. But unfortunately, there are complications that come with having identical having identical twins."

The Brit continued: "The type of twins we are having are called Mono/Di twins, and with that, so normally, most twins will have two placentas that they feed off of.

"But when you have Mono/Di twins, that means your twins live off one placenta, which can lead to lots of complications.

"One of them being one baby might take all the nutrients, the other might, which is really awful to say, but could lead to both babies dying and at the moment, I am currently pre stage TTTS, which is twin to twin transfusion, and I'm being monitored very closely."

What is Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome?

TTTS, or Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, is a rare pregnancy condition that can affect identical twins or multiples, according to Hopkins Medicine.

This occurs when twins share one placenta and a network of blood vessels that provide oxygen and nutrients that help with development in the womb.

Occasionally, the vessel connections within the placenta are not evenly dispensed, causing an imbalance in blood exchange between the twins.

One of the twins becomes the donor twin, giving away more blood than it receives, and can be at risk of malnourishment and organ failure, whereas the recipient twin receives too much blood and can overwork their heart.

Nelson explained that she's being scanned twice a week, and said that the situation is getting 'worse'.

The musician explained: "We feel so like best that we've really blessed that we've been given twins, but it's just really sad that, unfortunately, it does come with its complications, which we had no idea about. We honestly had no clue that this kind of thing happens when you have twins."

Nelson continued: "We feel it's really important for us to share our journey with you guys and let you what's happening. But yeah, like I said, we are just hoping for the best, and we're really fortunate that I am lucky enough to be scanned twice a week, and we get to check on the babies.

"Every time we go for a scan, we've just got to pray that everything is going to be good," she concluded.

The star announced she was pregnant back in January, taking to Instagram to share the happy news alongside a polaroid picture showing off her growing baby bump.

"She’s eating for 3 now," Jesy wrote.

After dating over the last couple of years, Foster and Nelson were first linked together back in 2022, before reportedly splitting for the first time in November 2023.

However, after reuniting, they appeared to part ways in September last year. At the time, the musician commented on a social media post: "Beautiful woman inside and out, wish her nothing but the best."
