Hailey Bieber Opens Up About Traumatic Labor and Recovery
Hailey Bieber Reveals Near-Death Labor Experience and "Very Difficult" Postpartum Journey After Son's Traumatic Birth.
Los Angeles, CA - Hailey Bieber has bravely opened up about the harrowing experience of her son Jack Blues' birth last year, admitting that she genuinely feared for her life during the traumatic labor. The 28-year-old model, who welcomed her first child with husband Justin Bieber, 31, in August 2024, described facing "scary" complications during the delivery.
Despite diligently preparing for nine months through exercise, pelvic floor work, and feeling "physically stronger" than ever, Hailey encountered an unexpectedly challenging labor. In a candid new interview with Vogue, she described giving birth as "the hardest thing I’ve ever done." Speaking publicly about the birth for the first time, Hailey recounted, "That s**t was so crazy. That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing."
Hailey's labor journey began when she started leaking amniotic fluid at 39 weeks, necessitating an induction. She was administered medication to induce contractions, and a specialized balloon was inserted into her uterus to aid dilation. While she eventually welcomed her son after a grueling 18 hours, the ordeal didn't end there. Hailey revealed that she subsequently experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, a serious condition that led her to fear she might not survive.
Reflecting on the potentially fatal nature of a postpartum hemorrhage if not promptly treated, Hailey shared, "I trust my doctor with my life. And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind." The gravity of the situation was clearly profound for the new mother.

While the joy of finally bringing her baby home was immense, Hailey also spoke candidly about navigating her postpartum body image. She admitted to needing to "give herself some grace" as her body didn't immediately "bounce back" to its pre-pregnancy state. She acknowledged the changes, noting wider hips and larger breasts, and has come to accept that her body is now "not the same body that it was before."
Adding to the challenges of new motherhood, Hailey also discussed the "difficulty" of adjusting to the "new version of herself" while simultaneously grappling with persistent rumors surrounding her marriage to singer Justin Bieber. Fans have often voiced concerns about the couple's seemingly strained public appearances, and reports have even suggested that Hailey's friends have urged her to leave the singer due to his "unacceptable" behavior.
Addressing these multifaceted difficulties, Hailey confessed, "Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult… And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, 'They’re getting divorced' and 'They’re this' and 'They’re not happy': It is such a mindf**k. I cannot even begin to explain it. It’s a crazy life to live."
Hailey's poignant words follow a recent public appearance where she appeared visibly upset by her husband Justin's agitated behavior while they cheered on his Toronto Maple Leafs during a crucial NHL playoff game against the Florida Panthers. Justin, whom some fans noted appeared gaunt on social media, passionately expressed his support for his team online, only to witness them lose the game with a disappointing 6-1 score.
The visibly frustrated singer was seen banging on the tempered glass separating their front-row seats from the ice, seemingly attempting to get the attention of the Maple Leafs players and coaching staff. Hailey, seated next to him, appeared particularly uncomfortable by her husband's outburst. She mostly gazed forward awkwardly, though she did raise a hand at one point, seemingly in an attempt to comfort or quiet Justin. The unsettling display was witnessed by other spectators and members of the team and staff.
In another photograph from the game, Justin was seen leaning forward tensely, his eyes obscured by sunglasses, while Hailey displayed a stone-faced expression, further fueling speculation about the couple's dynamic.
Despite these seemingly awkward public interactions, the couple has also shown moments of affection. In images shared by the National Hockey League's Instagram account, Justin was seen with his arm around Hailey, both sporting broad smiles while supporting the Maple Leafs. The caption read, "@haileybieber & @justinbieber are in the house tonight cheering on the @mapleleafs!🙌🏼 #StanleyCup #Game7."
Justin's attire at the game was hard to miss, featuring a bright jacket with vertical stripes of velvet coral and ribbed orange fabric, paired with a furry beige hat and shiny black sunglasses. However, some fans commented on his seemingly gaunt appearance and the prominent lines on his face as he smiled for the camera.
Hailey also showed her support for the team, cutting a stylish figure in an oversized blue, black, and white Maple Leafs jacket, worn over what appeared to be a black low-cut tank top and black pants.
The juxtaposition of the couple's affectionate moments and the instances of apparent tension has created a complex narrative in the public eye. Hailey's recent revelations about her traumatic labor and challenging postpartum period offer a deeper understanding of the pressures and difficulties she has been navigating, both physically and emotionally, while also facing scrutiny about her marriage. Her candidness provides a powerful reminder of the often-unseen struggles that can accompany even the most public of lives.
