Jessie J Posted A Candid Postpartum Photo: "Your Uterus Is Still Deflating Slowly"

    "This was my body 11 days after giving birth, and I still look pretty much the same now 35 days on."

    Jessie J posted about her postpartum body after welcoming her first child via cesarean last month.

    Jessie has long been open about her fertility journey, as she was previously told by one doctor that she couldn't have children and experienced pregnancy loss in 2021. She recently confirmed that her son's father is basketball player Chanan Colman.

    Alongside a snippet from her song "Queen," Jessie wrote on Instagram, "I'm writing this for myself as well as any one else that needs to read this. Your body was a home for someone else to live in for 9 months."

    "Your organs have moved and need to find their way back to where they were before. Your uterus is still deflating slowly. Your hormones are flying and crashing. Your body is working the hardest it has ever worked. You are exhausted but you are magical. You grew a whole human. A human who is doing this with you and loves you beyond measure."

    Urging her followers to "take your time" and "be easy" on themselves, she continued, "Celebrate your new body. It HAD to change. It will be bigger and smaller in different places. IT IS BEAUTIFUL and NATURAL. Ignore the whispers of what some people say you should or shouldn’t look like after a certain time. It’s 2023. People need to chill. Time to snap forward not snap back."

    "This was my body 11 days after giving birth and I still look pretty much the same now 35 days on," Jessie added. "I LOVE my body. It has given me the most magical roommate inside and outside of my body. And when it’s ready and able to change again it will. Whatever that looks like. I’m here for it."
