Dr. Aliabadi replied: 'And I told her like, "Don't get pregnant!"'

She said: 'Yeah. So I had a septum in my uterus, and Dr. A kept saying, "Well, we need to look at this and keep an eye on it before you get pregnant because it could potentially be an issue."
'"I don't really know. We've got to see. I might have to give you a small surgery for it. Not sure." And I was like, "Okay. Well, I'm not thinking about getting pregnant right now, so we'll just cross that bridge when we get there." And then I magically got pregnant.'
Dr. Aliabadi then said: 'And then she calls me, and she's like, "I'm pregnant!" And I'm like, "No!"
The physician went on to explain what the condition is and the risks that are associated with it.
Dr. Aliabadi said: 'So uterine septum is genetic. Again, we're born with it. So basically, imagine you have a normal-shaped uterus. But inside the cavity of the uterus, imagine this little wall that comes in, this thin wall that comes in.
'You can have a mild, moderate or a severe septum. Basically we measure it on ultrasound. If it's less than 1 cm, it's mild. If it's 1 to 2 cm, it's moderate.'
Hailey added that she believes that her uterine septum was moderate.
Dr. Aliabadi confirmed that fact as she said: 'Yours was moderate. It affects 1 to 3 percent of women, and with moderate, you have a higher risk of miscarriage with the pregnancy.

Hailey said: 'Yeah. So I had a septum in my uterus, and Dr. A kept saying, "Well, we need to look at this and keep an eye on it before you get pregnant because it could potentially be an issue"
'And so the risk for her was about maybe 25 to 40 percent risk of miscarriage. And a 10 to 20 percent risk of preterm delivery.'
Hailey added: 'Which I think was our bigger scare. Because we realized as the baby was growing, the septum it was, you know, expanding. Everything was opening and doing what it needed to do, luckily.'
Her OB/GYN agreed with her star patient as she admitted that luck was on their side and everything worked out for her pregnancy.
Dr. Aliabadi said: 'And I'll never forget, as I was telling her, "Well, these are the risks."
'And she looked at me, she's like,"You know what? I believe that everything's gonna work out fine." Remember this? And I looked at her,and I'm like,"I think so too."
As if the pregnancy wasn't already stressful enough, Hailey had previously revealed that she had also experienced some 'scary' complications during the birth.
Despite prepping for nine months in which she exercised, worked on her pelvic floor and felt 'physically stronger' than ever before, Hailey found herself going through a very tough labor, with the stunner admitting in a candid new interview that giving birth was 'the hardest thing I've ever done'.
Speaking for the first time about the birth, Hailey told Vogue in May 2025: 'That st was so crazy. That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.'
Hailey began leaking amniotic fluid at 39 weeks and had to be induced, with the star given medication to bring on contractions while a special balloon was placed inside her uterus to help dilate her.
However, while she eventually welcomed her boy after 18 hours, her troubles continued as she then experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, with Hailey sadly admitting that the thought had crossed her mind that she wouldn't survive the ordeal.
On the fact that death could be a result of this complication if not treated quickly, which she admitted was 'a little bit scary', Hailey shared: 'I trust my doctor with my life. And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind.'
While she was overjoyed to finally bring her baby home safe and sound, Hailey told how she had to get used to her postpartum figure, admitting that she had to 'give herself some grace' over her body not 'bouncing back'.
She noted how her hips are wider and her boobs were bigger but has since accepted that her body is 'not the same body that it was before'.
Meanwhile, during the candid interview, Hailey told of her 'difficulty' at coping with the 'new version of herself', while facing rumours surrounding her marriage to singer Justin.
