JESY Nelson has shared some happy pregnancy pictures after being bed bound as she awaits the arrival of her twins.
Former Little Mix singer Jesy, 33, proudly held up her ultrasound scans while posing on her bed with her burgeoning bump on show.
The X Factor winner wore her locks in gorgeous curls and grinned towards the prinouts.
Sporting a crop top and and shirt jacket, Jesy played around with her boyfriend Zion Foster, 26, filming him with a retro camcorder.
The Wings hitmaker cradled her stomach and gazed into the camera's lens for further stunning shots.
In her caption, she wrote: "Muma Nelson [white heart] Papa Foster," tagging photographer Noah Sapon.
Her uplifting post comes after a difficult few weeks.
Jesy was recently rushed to hospital following the announcement of her high-risk pregnancy and was told she could go into labour at any moment.
Doctors advised it was too early to let her return home.
The singer was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a rare but serious condition in which blood flows unevenly between identical twins sharing a placenta – putting both babies at risk.
The diagnosis took Jesy and Zion by surprise and they revealed they had no idea what TTTS was before the diagnosis.
The expecting mum previously had a successful operation – though didn't specify the type of procedure – after revealing her twins are "living off one placenta.
But the singer is keeping her spirits high with a little beauty therapy.
And despite her serious condition, Jesy appeared upbeat and grateful for the pampering session.
Today she showed off her freshly done eyelash extensions courtesy of a visiting beautician.
"So the lovely @glashesbyhols came and did my lashes yesterday and I can honestly say I'm obsessed," Jesy told fans over a close-up clip of her face.
"She put brown lashes on me, which I've never had before, and switched up my shape a little — and I absolutely love them. Don't think I'll be going back to black now!"
Jesy revealed her pregnancy earlier this year in emotional footage of her ultrasound scan and baby bump.
She later revealed the pregnancy is considered high risk, leading to increased medical monitoring.
The singer has yet to confirm a due date but has continued to keep fans updated on her journey in honest social media posts.
On Sunday she took to Instagram to praise Zion for running the marathon with less than five weeks training, after he signed up to raise money for the charity Twins Trust.
What is premature birth and what are its risks?
Premature birth is when a baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
About eight out of 100 babies will be born prematurely.
It's possible for a baby to survive if born around 24 weeks of pregnancy onwards – 24 weeks is the legal limit for abortion.
Babies born this early need care in a hospital with specialist facilities for premature babies, called a neonatal unit.
The risks of having a premature baby include:
- Small size
- Low body temperature
- Breathing problems
- Feeding difficulties
- Cerebral palsy
- Developmental delay
- Vision problems
- Hearing problems
They may have health and development problems because they have not fully developed in the womb.
In some cases, pre-term labour is planned and induced because it's safer for the baby to be born sooner rather than later.
Risk factors that have been identified for preterm birth include pregnancy with multiple babies, six months or less between pregnancies, a previous premature birth and problems with the placenta.
