Britney Spears announces she’s pregnant with her third child

Britney Spears, the American singer and songwriter, says she is expecting a baby with Sam Asghari, her husband.

The 40-year-old singer took to her Instagram page to break the news to her followers on Tuesday.

She accompanied the post with a picture of a flower and a lengthy caption describing how she found out she was expecting.

Spears also revealed she will be out of the limelight during the period of her pregnancy to avoid the paparazzi.

“I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back. I thought ‘Geez, what happened to my stomach?’ My husband said ‘No, you’re food pregnant silly!!’,” she wrote

“So I got a pregnancy test and I’m having a baby. 4 days later, I got a little more food pregnant. It’s growing. If 2 are in there, I might just lose it.

“I obviously won’t be going out as much due to the papa getting their money shot of me like they unfortunately already have.”

Speaking on her past pregnancies, the mother of two detailed how she struggled with prenatal depression.

According to her, women going through prenatal depression were seen as dangerous back in the day. She is however happy with the fact that women now talk about it every day.

“It’s hard because when I was pregnant, I had prenatal depression. I have to say it is absolutely horrible. Women didn’t talk about it back then,” she wrote.

“Some people considered it dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her. But now, women talk about it every day.

“Thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret. This time, I’ll be doing yoga every day! Spreading lots of joy and love.”
