Is Britney Spears pregnant? Fans were sent into a tizzy Monday when she shared a post that seems to indicate that she’s expecting.
Taking to Instagram, Britney explained she “lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back … I thought ‘Geez … what happened to my stomach ???'”
Again referring to fiancé Sam Asghari as her “husband” — the same as she did in an Instagram post last week — Britney said he believed she was “food pregnant,” but she felt it might be more than that.
“So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby,” Britney declared. “4 days later I got a little more food pregnant. It’s growing !!! If 2 are in there … I might just [sic] loose it.”
Britney also announced she “won’t be going out as much” to avoid any paparazzi hoping to score a “money shot” of her.
Britney also opened up about her struggles when she was expecting sons Sean and Jayden, who are now 16 and 15, respectively.
“It’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression … I have to say it is absolutely horrible,” Britney revealed. This marks the first time she’s spoken publicly about experiencing pregnancy-related depression.
“Women didn’t talk about it back then … some people considered it dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her … but now women talk about it everyday,” Britney added. “Thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret.”
The National Institute of Mental Health says perinatal depression occurs during or after a pregnancy and can cause extreme sadness and fatigue, as well as other mental and emotional difficulties.
Last year, Britney told a judge that one of the things she most wanted to do was have another baby, but claimed that her conservators had prevented her from doing so.
