The professional dancer, 39, is expecting her first child with husband and former Strictly co-star Aljaz Skorjanec, 33, after announcing the pregnancy in December after revealing they were surprised by their bundle of joy as they were about to begin IVF.
After revealing their new addition will be arriving this summer, Janette has opened up on the medical procedure she has been advised will be the safest option to bring her baby into the world.
She said that because it seems the pair have a ‘bigger than average size baby,’ she has been told she should have a C-section.
‘It looks like we have a bigger than average size baby, but I’m not an average size human and because of the width of my hips it’s advised that I get a C-section,’ she told Hello! magazine,
A caesarean section, also known as a C-section, is an operation to deliver a baby through a cut made in the pregnant person’s stomach and womb.
Despite the impending surgery, Janette has said she feels ‘really relaxed’ about the birth as you ‘can’t plan everything.’
‘I feel really relaxed about it all. You really can’t plan everything because there are so many variables and I’m kind of open to all the different options and scenarios,’ she continued.
‘So, I’m not trying to lock in a certain date or procedure, because you just never really know how it’s going to happen until the baby comes. And I think having that kind of openness in my thoughts has actually kept me quite calm.’
She added that she is ‘really enjoying being pregnant,’ mostly as she loves her bump and watching her ‘body change and grow.’
Janette and Aljaz, who has admitted he’s crying every day ahead of becoming a dad, recently gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek of their little one during a 4D ultrasound scan.
The medical check allows the couple to see their baby wiggling around on screen, as well as see their features on a 4D picture on the monitor.
In a caption explaining what the couple was doing, the TV star highlighted: ‘In a room with Three Cubans this morning #siii [sic].’
Mum and dad-to-be Janette and Aljaz met in 2010 while starring in the live dance show Burn The Floor following which they tied the knot seven years later in 2017.
They starred alongside each other on Strictly for several years before Janette quit the main show in 2021 to host spin-off It Takes Two, and Aljaz quit the dancefloor last year.
