Singer Britney Spears has officially released her first long post since she announced her pregnancy on Monday, April 11.
Although she touched on several subjects in her Instagram message, including her new love of make-up, Britney did share a few thoughts about her pregnancy and the birth of her third child.
Britney Spears Admits ‘I’m So Scared To Make A Mistake’ After Recalling One Time Jayden Was Sick

In the lengthy Instagram message to her fans, Britney wrote, “With a baby on the way my thought this morning was ‘I’m so scared to make a mistake … Will I be thoughtful enough ??? Will I be instinctive enough ???’”
She thought about her relationship with her own mother, saying that they “always butted heads.” She recalled a time when she had a very high fever as a child before recalling a time when her teenage son Jayden had an extremely high fever when he was 9.
“Jayden had an extremely high fever one time,” she wrote. “My heart went into my stomach because he had never been this hot before !!! His little eyes were so lazy … do you think I called a doctor ??? He was and I picked him up like a baby and brought him all the way upstairs to my room and put his little body in the tub … lukewarm … not too cold … not too hot … he was still hot so I got a cold compress and put on his head and gave him a fever reducer.”
“I took him out of the tub and he had chills !!!” she recalled. “‘Chills … Mamma I’m too cold…’ I put a heating pad at his feet and kept a wet compress on his head … I let him lay there for 20 minutes and then I repeated it … his fever went down for the second time I bathed him !!!”
“I tried to put crackers or anything in his system but he didn’t want it … so I slept with him that night and when he woke up … he was eating pancakes like nothing happened !!!” she recalled.
Britney Spears Says Media ‘Destroyed’ Her When She Became A Mother
Britney wrote, “God knows I’m no saint but the media destroyed me when I first became a mother.”
“My first record came out when I was 16 and I got pregnant at 24,” she explained. “I thought about it last night … I was a baby raising 2 babies with 17 cars outside my house !!! I didn’t know how to play the game … I didn’t even know how to dress or fix my hair !!! I was clueless and I wasn’t the brightest bulb on the tree either !!!”
She continued, “The media has always been EXTREMELY rude to me … so I woke up this morning saying to myself ‘do I need to do a podcast during this pregnancy instead of just therapy ???’ And I mean it !!!”
“Is my instinct just as it was when I helped Jayden ???” she asked. “It’s instinct !!! Something to declare all these crazy mixed emotions and hormones … I don’t want to be an angry pregnant person eating donuts every morning … then I thought about it … It’s going to be ok !!! Just be me and stop trying so hard !!!”
Britney added that it’s time for her to “indulge into thinking … books … makeup … classic movies … great conversations … and the best sex ever !!!”
Then Britney added, “Sex is great when you’re pregnant.” Although fans probably wanted to hear more on that topic, Britney transitioned into singing “thank u, next” singer Ariana Grande who sent her a package from her new makeup line, @REMbeauty.
“Yes I’ve put it on already and I’m not lying … it’s pretty awesome !!!” Britney wrote. “The colors are not only subtle and cool but the way it lays on your face is like silk … literally !!! Thank you Ariana for this amazing gift … I needed eyeshadow !!! How did you know ??? God bless …”
Fans have been speculating that Britney might be getting into the makeup game for quite a while, and given Britney’s talk of being a “makeup junkie” in this recent post, it seems like Britney may have more to say on that in the near future!
