You couldn't write it.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

No, honestly.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

Only my real close friends and team know that for a very long time, I felt very lost.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

I just honestly felt like I had no sense of purpose.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

I was constantly trying to find the next project that would make me feel...

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

Yeah, yeah.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

Because I still felt like that even when I was in Little Mix.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

So spinal muscular atrophy is a muscular wasting disease.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

And what it does is, well, they don't have a gene that we all have in our body.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

So

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

Because of that, their now muscles are deteriorating and wasting away.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

And if you don't get them treatment in time, eventually the muscles will all just die, which then affects the breathing, the swallowing, everything.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

And they will die before the age of two.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

That's okay.

Great Company with Jamie Laing
JESY NELSON - PART 1: Becoming a Mum & The Fight No Baby Should Face

Well, it's not okay.
