After nearly a decade together, with chart-topping singles including their winning song Cannonball, Shout Out To My Ex and Wings, the singer decided to leave the group in December 2020.
The docuseries will take a closer look into her decision to leave Little Mix, her struggle with mental health and fame, as well as the journey of motherhood.
Nelson said: 'Letting the cameras in wasn't an easy decision for us as it's such a deeply personal time, but I knew I wanted to tell my story in my own words.
'We opened the doors fully and I'm really looking forward to letting you all in as I navigate my way to becoming a first time mum to our beautiful baby girls Ocean and Story.
'I'll be honest, it's not been easy as it's been such a high-risk pregnancy, so you'll see all the highs and lows and rollercoaster of emotions we have been going through.
'I hope you will all join me on this journey as I really open up and say goodbye to the past and enter this new chapter in my life. I hope you love it as much as we do.' Jesy Nelson's journey to motherhood is revealed in the series (Jonathan Hordle/PA)
Nelson announced her pregnancy with her partner, musical artist Zion Foster, in January and has documented her complications on her social media including Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition which has been described by the NHS as an abnormality of the placenta.
She gave birth to the two twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, on May 15 saying in an Instagram caption: 'Our beautiful baby girls decided to come at 31 weeks plus 5 days.'
'It all happened so quickly, but we are so blessed that they are here with us, healthy and fighting strong! We've never felt more in love.'
After leaving the girl group, Nelson released two songs as a solo artist, Boyz, which featured US rapper Nicki Minaj in 2021 and in 2023 released the single Bad Thing.
Prime Video UK's Hannah Blyth said: 'The series will offer an intimate look at Jesy's journey — a powerful account that's never been told before – and we are extremely grateful to Jesy for opening up her life to the cameras during such a pivotal and impactful year for her, as she embraces new motherhood and reflects on her experiences beyond the headlines.
'We're confident that our Prime Video audience will be deeply moved by her honesty and strength as she finds new clarity and speaks her truth in this next chapter of her life.'
Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix is produced by Navybee and will launch on Prime Video globally.

The photos started with a photo of Perrie cuddling up with her partner Alex as he stuck his tongue out to try and reach a spoon that their son Axel was holding.

You look absolutely stunning, beautiful and gorgeous," with another adding: "I love this family so much." "Beautiful, your smile is infectious," a fourth added. Perrie's holiday comes as she opened up about seeking support from therapists to help her deal with panic attacks. The star spoke about her experience amid the news that she has taken on a new role. She has been open about experiencing anxiety and panic attacks and has raised awareness around mental health over the years. Perrie has also previously discussed her experience with agoraphobia. She previously revealed that she's "never" on her own due to her fear of having a fatal panic attack. She's shared that her symptoms of panic attacks include eye issues and, eventually, difficulty breathing. Perrie's latest role is that she is now a celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind. She spoke about her mental health on Alison Hammond's Big Weekend where she was the special guest on the first ever show. Perrie said: "I've developed panic disorder, so it's the fear of having a panic attack." She explained that she developed that fear after she started suffering from "severe" panic attacks a few years ago. She shared: "So I was like if I'm on my own and I have a panic attack I might die and nobody will be here to help." Providing an insight into the impact that has on her life, she went on to say: "So that's why I'm never on my own." Asked about the signs of a panic attack, she said: "My arms go limp. My legs go limp. And then my eyesight starts to go. And then I can't see anything. And then my heart starts racing and then I just can't breathe. And I just feel like I'm gonna die so I start freaking out."

NHS worker reveals the most bizarre thing she's ever seen in A&E
A hospital worker has revealed the 'craziest' case she ever witnessed while working in A&E. British-Sudanese comic Ola Labib, who previously worked as a pharmacist in the NHS for seven years, said the emergency room can be 'absolute chaos'. Speaking with Russell Kane on his podcast Evil Genius, Labib shared numerous 'bizarre' and 'crazy' stories from her time in the healthcare service. She said that the chaotic nature of A&E tends to ramp up around Christmas time - and this is when workers are most likely to see cases that are out of the ordinary. She also told an eye-watering anecdote about a man who had a terrible incident with a glass bottle - then lied to his parents about having cancer to cover his tracks. The pharmacist said the man had a glass beer bottle 'shatter' in his rectum when he inserted it for self-pleasure. 'The first one that comes to mind is the patient who stuck a beer bottle up his bum,' she answered when asked about the wildest things she's seen on the job. She then revealed the man hadn't come in because of the bottle itself but because it had smashed while still inside, much to the shock of the podcast host and fellow guests. 'He pleasured himself and he underestimated the power of his rectum so when he finished the beer bottle shattered,' Labib explained. 'It was really bad because when his parents came in, he didn't want them to know that that's what he did so we couldn't get involved but he told his parents that he had cancer.' Another 'crazy' case was when she saw a woman coming into A&E to get her hair extensions removed because she couldn't get an appointment at her hairdresser during the busy festive period. Labib said the woman lied about the extensions causing her pain and was shocked to see medical professionals have their time taken up by removing her weave. 'The craziest thing I saw was a woman who couldn't get an appointment to get her hair extensions taken out so she came into A&E pretending that her hair extensions were causing her real pain,' she recalled. She said the consultant suggested shaving the patient's head but staff were unable to do so for 'ethical reasons'. 'You literally had health care assistants and nurses taking out this woman's weave because she couldn't get an appointment,' Labib said. 'You see really, really crazy stuff in A& a good thing I'm not in charge, put it that way.' Medical workers are exposed to an endless source of shocking, hilarious, haunting, or bizarre stories in their line of work and many have chosen to share their experiences. Palliative care nurse Julie McFadden - who's known as Hospice Nurse Julie across social media - previously revealed the three most common regrets patients share on their death beds. Speaking to NHS surgeon Dr Karan Rajan on his podcast, she said these final discussions tend to centre around what they've taken for granted. Most common, she said, is regretting not appreciating the years they spent in good health. 'The first one I hear all the time is that they regret not appreciating their health while they had it,' McFadden, who has more than 15 years' experience of caring for the dying and is from Los Angeles. 'That's the number one thing people say to me, I wish I would have understood how amazing it is to have a working body,' she added. The second regret she often hears is people admitting they 'worked too much' and wish they hadn't worked their life away. Finally, she revealed in the clip shared to Instagram, that many dying patients have regrets about relationships. The nurse explained people either wish they had maintained certain relationships and friendships, or regret holding grudges. Many patients also reveal they 'cared too much' about what other people thought. Rajan responded to McFadden's insight with a story of a young patient that made him realise we are not 'immortal' and we should not take our life 'for granted'. In the clip shared with his 1.5million followers he said: 'A few years ago when I saw a young woman come in with pancreatitis in her 20s, within three hours this young woman is in the intensive care unit, she's intubated, ventilated, and the next day, she had passed away. 'That just made me think wow, I'm in my 30s now, I'm 34, life can just go in a flash. 'So yes, truly don't take it for granted, we sometimes have this tendency to walk around like we're immortal.'

Perrie Edwards puts on a rare loved-up display with footballer fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as they enjoy a romantic getaway abroad
Perrie Edwards put on a rare loved-up display with her footballer fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as they enjoyed a romantic getaway abroad. The singer, 31, and the professional footballer, both 31, announced their engagement in April 2022 after going public with their relationship in 2017. And sharing an album of fun snaps to Instagram on Friday, the star looked smitten as they acted playful with one anther while at the dinner table with their son Axel, three. In the pictures Perrie, looked incredible in an emerald halterneck dress which featured a ruched design around the chest. Meanwhile Alex cut a more casual display as he stepped out in a white T-shirt and black trousers. In other snaps, the couple continued to put on a romantic display as Perrie was seen laughing the day away in the sun. Alongside her holiday snaps, she penned: 'Holibobs'. Her trip comes after how she told Alex that she loved him for the first time early in their romance. Appearing on the Capital Evening show with Jimmy Hill, the former Little Mix star revealed how she stumbled over the romantic admission. She said: 'In my real life I can never say exactly what I mean... but I feel like in my music it's different. 'I remember the first time I told Alex I loved him, I was on a night out with the [Little Mix] girls and they were gearing me up - and for some reason I had a pan, right? 'I had a frying pan because Alex told me he liked pancakes so I went out of my way to buy a pan, but we had promo. 'So I'm on a night out, with a frickin' frying pan thinking, 'I'm gonna make his dreams come true, I'm gonna make him pancakes in the morning.' The singer went on: 'I remember saying to the girls, 'I think I love him... but I think he loves me too' and the girls were like, "Then just tell him". 'They geared me up within an inch of life and I was raring to go.' But when it came to the big moment, the singer admitted that she was 'speechless'. She continued: 'I couldn't find the words, I couldn't articulate myself, I was like panicking... my heartbeat was in my head. And I just went, "I think I'm falling in love with you", so aggressively.' After managing to get her words out, she revealed that Alex said he was in love with her too. Perrie released her new single titled You Go Your Way last year. The pair, who now share three-year-old son Axel, matched on celebrity dating app Raya in November 2014 but went on only a couple of dates before Perrie had to embark on a three-month US tour with Little Mix and Ariana Grande. Due to go away on tour for several months, and worried about putting pressure on a very new relationship, Perrie suggested to her now fiancé that they should pause their budding romance and go their separate ways. The song sums up the moment in a relationship where you need to be prepared to let someone go and live their life in the hope that the will one day return. She explained: 'I told Alex, you go your way and I'll go mine and if it's meant to be we'll find each other again when I am back. 'He wasn't happy this idea and made our relationship official there and then! Fast forward eight years and we are very happy, engaged and have our beautiful son. 'I truly believe if you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If not it was never meant to be.'
