The "I Want Love" singer first announced she was expecting back 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 Jessie suffered a miscarriage just 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 for Jessie J and 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 don't always know what someone is going through, so even if you don't mean something in a negative way, their past and/or current experiences will impact the way they respond.
