In a moment of vulnerability, Hailey Bieber is opening up about complications during her pregnancy with her and husband Justin Bieber’s son Jack Blues.
On Tuesday (March 3), Hailey Bieber sat down with her OBGYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney, co-hosts of the SHE MD podcast, for a candid conversation on her health and postpartum recovery. In the hourlong conversation, the trio talk about Bieber’s health history, what it was like building Rhode while being a mom, and the medical condition that put her pregnancy at higher risk of miscarriage.
