JESY NELSON has signed a big-money deal with Prime Video to bring viewers into her home as she prepares to become a mum.
I can reveal cameras have already started following her for the show, after the announcement in January that she was expecting identical twins.
At the time I told how TV companies were eager to bring the former Little Mix singer’s pregnancy journey to the screen, and now it really is happening.
A TV insider said: “Prime Video is making a project following Jesy’s pregnancy and the birth of her twins.
“Filming is under way and the aim is for the show to follow her from the early days of her pregnancy, right through to the birth and then how she copes as she becomes a first-time mum.
“At the moment, they are seeing how things go and they will work out later on whether it will be a series of a feature-length documentary.
“It has already been a transformative experience for her and she wanted to document this special time.
“It hasn’t been easy at all for her, with lots of complications, but she is hoping the show will help raise awareness for issues in pregnancy.
“If she can help even one other person with it, it will all be worthwhile.”
Jesy, who is having her kids with musician Zion Foster, revealed last month that she was having two scans a week because a health scare with the twins, who are due this summer.
The Boyz singer has since undergone an emergency procedure to help the unborn babies, and at the weekend issued an update that she is having to stay in hospital.
She said: “The situation that we’re in now is my cervix is very, very short, so I can’t leave the hospital because my waters could break at any point and I’m still very, very early.
“We’re just so grateful that they’re still here and still going strong.”
It can’t be an easy time and I’m thinking of Jesy a lot.
We’ve met her many times and I know she will make a great mum, so we are keeping everything crossed that her pregnancy is smooth from here on in.
What are the different types of twins?
TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy.
They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy.
Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy
What are the different types of twins?
Monozygotic – identical twins (‘one cell’ twins)
Dizygotic – also known as ‘fraternal’, non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes
Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it’s estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours.
Can identical twins be two different sexes?
Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes.
The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide.
Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female).
What are Di Di twins?
Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins.
They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical.
There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor.
Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical.
