" I ’ve been a hippo for a while . "

Jessie Jdoesn’t regret sharing her pregnancy journey with her fans, even if they’re starting to grow a little impatient.

The “I Want Love” singer firstannounced she was expectingback in early January, revealing she was “so happy and terrified to finally share this” in a video she posted on Instagram.

The news came a year after Jessiesuffered a miscarriagejust hours before she was scheduled to perform a show in Los Angeles.

After feeling comfortable enough to reveal she was pregnant again, Jessie continued to let her fans in on her intimate and raw experiences.

That included morning sickness and uncomfortable moments…

…to baby showers and unforgettable memories. She has been documenting it all.

But despite Jessie generously sharing so much with her fans, they still couldn’t help but get anxious about when she was going to give birth.

So, she decided to post a message for anyone wishing her pregnancy would move a little faster:

“Guys, I posted that I was pregnant four months ago,” Jessie said on her Instagram Story. “And you’re like, ‘You’ve been pregnant for 17 years! Where’s the baby?”

“It takes nine months to grow a baby. And I posted that I was pregnant — and I was quite pregnant when I posted that, so yeah, it’s happening soon.”

“But, it ain’t been two years, alright? How do you think I feel? I’ve been a hippo for a while now.”

We couldn’t be happier forJessie Jand we can tell how excited she is to meet her baby, so let’s allow her to enjoy every moment of it.

And remember , we do n’t always know what someone is go through , so even if you do n’t mean something in a negative way , their past and/or current experiences will bear on the way they reply .
