Hailey Bieber Says Pregnancy Was a Surprise After Doctor’s Warning Over Uterine Septum

Her podcast account spotlights the congenital condition’s elevated risks in pregnancy.

Overview

  • On the SHE MD podcast, Bieber said her pregnancy with son Jack Blues was unplanned despite a prior diagnosis of a septate uterus.
  • Her OB-GYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, labeled the septum moderate (about 1–2 cm) and initially cautioned her not to conceive.
  • The doctor estimated a 25–40% miscarriage risk and a 10–20% chance of preterm delivery, noting the condition affects roughly 1–3% of women.
  • To track preterm risk, clinicians used the PreTRM blood test, which indicated low risk as the pregnancy advanced to a term induction and healthy birth in August 2024.
  • Bieber also described a postpartum hemorrhage after delivery that required procedures to control bleeding before she stabilized.
