Mariah Carey Shows Her Pregnant Body

 Mariah Carey is days away from giving birth to her twins (a  boy and a girl) and decided to show the world how proud she is of her pregnant body.

 The singer, who posed for the latest issue of Life and Style magazine, described the circumstances that surrounded her decision to finally share her pregnancy with the world:

 "I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn't want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience. My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans."
 Days before the shoot, Mariah suffered from contractions coincidentally on the day of her birthday:

 "The babies were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable. Especially the girl -- clearly she's a diva in training! We didn't start shooting until 1:30 a.m. because I was in the hospital from the night before until the day of the shoot with contractions five minutes apart!"

 This new situation has completely changed Mariah´s perspective on motherhood, as she revealed to the publication:

 "Now I have so much respect for mothers everywhere, especially those who've had difficult pregnancies or given birth to multiples. We need to have Mother's Day once a week!"

 Thoughts?

Mariah Carey confirms pregnancy!

  It was about time! After months of constant rumours, singer Mariah Carey has finally confirmed that she is pregnant. Mariah had to pull out of a film in June and the rumours have been crazy ever since.

  "Yes, we are pregnant, this is true!" she told Access Hollywood. "It's been a long journey. It's been tough because I've been trying to hold on to a shred of privacy."

  The 40-year old singer says that due to the heavy speculation she was forced to come forward with the news: "At this point, there is no choice. I either talk or I hibernate," she said.

  The most shocking piece of news is that Carey also confirmed she had a miscarriage two years ago. "It kind of shook us both and took us into a place that was really dark and difficult," Carey said. "When that happened... I wasn't able to even talk to anybody about it. That was not easy."

  Husband Nick Cannon admits that they have already the names picked up for their future baby, due in the spring. "The greatest gift on earth is a child," he said. "We’ve had names picked out from the first day we met and we want to stay true to that."

  Congratulations to the happy couple! It would have been so much easier for them to confirm the news months ago, but better late than never, I guess. Will Mariah write a song about this on her next album?
