From the glimpses we see on Instagram, Hailey and Justin Bieber seem to have taken to parenthood seamlessly.
Although the couple are keen to keep their nine-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber, away from the spotlight, the super famous pair have shared photos of their life as a family of three, and they clearly couldn't be happier.
But like many parents, there have been ups and downs, and it transpires that Jack's birth wasn't totally smooth-sailing.

Recounting her journey to becoming a mother, Hailey said: "Giving birth was the hardest thing I've ever done."
After she began leaking amniotic fluid at 39 weeks, doctors induced Hailey and she went into labor for a total of 18 hours, the report states.

Worryingly, Hailey then haemorrhaged and doctors immediately got to work. Hailey was acutely aware of the risks that can come from postpartum haemorrhaging if not treated swiftly.
"[That] was a little bit scary," she told Vogue, adding: "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."
After medics began sufficiently treating her, they whisked baby Jack away and Hailey felt the separation viscerally. "You start to get a little freaked out. I wanted to hold my baby. I wanted to be with him."
Fortunately, Hailey recovered but Vogue states that it was "important to her to share the truth."

On adapting to her post-partum body, Hailey says: "Every day I have to talk to myself, like, Hailey, you had a baby. You grew a human. You birthed a human. It's okay. Give yourself grace. Give yourself time."

Hailey and Justin might be one of the most famous couples on the planet, but keeping baby Jack private is paramount.
Despite sharing adorable photos from time to time, the pair are strict on never revealing Jack's face on social media.

On why they choose to keep him shielded, she told Vogue: "We don't take him to a lot of places. We don't want anyone to…. I mean, you've just got to see how invasive it all is. It feels mean to put a baby into that."
