“‘The show must go on’ mentality reacted before the human in me did. I must justify to the audience for my show tomorrow, and explain to the world why I might be a little off, was my first thought. I must turn this into a inspirational, I know I will be ok, strong moment, because that’s who I am right?” Jessie J continued.
“Truth is, I just needed to f—ing cry and fall into someone’s arms and sob. But at the time I was alone. I hadn’t processed anything. Nor did I have any idea what I was about to go through not just emotionally but physically after this show,” she explained.
The singer then said she now understands why women who’ve gone through miscarriages say it should be discussed more often, sharing that people’s thoughts on miscarriages are not a true reflection of what it really is.

“I guess I’m here to say to anyone who may not have been told this, you are allowed to be broken,” she added. “You are allowed to cry. Allowed to be weak. Allowed to be exhausted from the pain and the bleeding and the grief that barely has space to exist. You are allowed to do this however YOU need to.”
“Sometimes life just calls us to be human. We know there will be sunshine, but we can’t avoid the rain,” Jessie J ended.

“💔 Yesterday morning I was laughing with a friend saying ‘seriously though how am I going to get through my gig in LA tomorrow night without telling the whole audience I am pregnant.’ By yesterday afternoon I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down…,” the musician wrote alongside an image of herself holding up a positive pregnancy test.
Having a child of her own, she said, is “all I’ve ever wanted,” adding that “life is short.”
“To get pregnant was a miracle in itself and an experience I will never forget and I know I will have again,” Jessie J wrote. “I’m still in shock, the sadness is overwhelming. But I know I am strong, and I know I will be ok.”
She laterthanked her supporterson her Instagram Story for their kindness amid the wake of her devastating news.
“Your overwhelming instant outpour of love is felt, received, and appreciated beyond measure. And it has got me out of bed this morning,” she wrote. “Thank you.”
