Hailey Bieber opens up about her pregnancy scare after revealing she had a septum in her uterus. The 29-year-old model and founder of Rhode shared the details on the SHE MD podcast while speaking with her OB/GYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi.
Hailey, who is married to singer Justin Bieber, said her pregnancy came as a surprise. She had previously been warned about a condition called a uterine septum, which she learned could complicate pregnancy. A uterine septum occurs when a thin wall divides part of the uterus. Doctors say it can increase the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth.
“So I had a septum in my uterus, and Dr. A kept saying, ‘We need to look at this and keep an eye on it before you get pregnant because it could potentially be an issue,’” Hailey explained. Dr. Aliabadi described Hailey’s case as moderate, with a 25 to 40 percent risk of miscarriage and a 10 to 20 percent chance of preterm delivery.
The doctor recalled her reaction when Hailey announced she was expecting. “And then she calls me, and she’s like, ‘I’m pregnant!’ And I’m like, ‘No!’” Despite the risks, Hailey said she trusted the process. “You know what? I believe that everything’s gonna work out fine,” she told her doctor.
Her pregnancy eventually progressed without serious complications, and she welcomed her son, Jack Blues. Even so, Hailey has described her labor as intense and challenging. In a previous interview, she said giving birth was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” explaining that she labored for hours without an epidural after her water broke.
Hailey’s story highlights the unpredictable nature of pregnancy and the way personal determination can intersect with medical guidance. It also brings attention to conditions like a uterine septum, which many people may not know about but which can significantly affect pregnancy outcomes. Her experience offers insight into the balance of risk and hope, the role of careful monitoring, and the resilience required to navigate pregnancy with known complications.
