Hailey Bieber had a difficult road to motherhood.
The day the Rhode founder gave birth to her and Justin Bieber’s son Jack Blues Bieber in August 2024 was arguably the best of her life—but that doesn’t mean it was without its complications.
“Giving birth was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Hailey told Vogue in a cover story interview published May 20, adding that she did everything in her power to prep beforehand. “I was on that s–t. I was doing everything. I felt stronger physically than I ever had before.”
But despite the months of workouts and pelvic-floor therapy leading up to baby Jack’s arrival, the 28-year-old ended up having to be medically induced. And during her 18-hour labor, doctors used a Foley balloon—a catheter inserted into the uterus and filled with saline to induce labor—to make for an even more uncomfortable experience.
“That s–t was so crazy,” Hailey recalled. “That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.”
