Love Island winner Jessica Hayes recently welcomed her second child, baby Zendaya Rose, with fiancé Zeb. However, behind the joyous occasion lies a struggle with postnatal anxiety, triggered by two heartbreaking miscarriages.
In an interview with New! Magazine, Jessica candidly shared her experience. She revealed that throughout her pregnancy, she was overwhelmed with worry due to her past baby losses. In 2020, she suffered the loss of her son Teddy at 19 weeks, and in 2023, she faced another miscarriage.
When asked if these previous losses affected her during her latest pregnancy, Jessica replied, “Definitely. I was constantly worried about something happening.”
Despite her anxieties, Jessica’s waterbirth for Zendaya went smoothly. She described the birth, saying, “My partner came home from work, and my water broke in the evening. We got to the hospital at about 7 pm, and I had her at around 10:30 pm. It was good.”
However, postpartum anxiety still lingers. Jessica admitted, “Now there is still that postpartum anxiety too. When I take her out and other people are around her, I get worried.”
Jessica is also the mother of four-year-old Presley from a previous relationship. Her journey highlights the emotional challenges many parents face after experiencing loss and welcoming new life. Despite the ups and downs, Jessica remains resilient and focused on caring for her growing family. 🌟
