She also joked about it saying that as she is getting more “food pregnant” she would reduce her public appearance. She would do that to also avoid the paparazzi.

Spears also opened up about her mental health during a previous pregnancy.

“It’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression … I have to say it is absolutely horrible,” she wrote. “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 … thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret.”
