Spears also got candid about her mental health troubles 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."

She concluded the post writing: "This time I will be doing yoga 🧘♀️ every day !!! Spreading lots of joy and love."

The singer shares two kids, Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline with her previous husband Kevin Federline.

Spears, who recently regained her freedom in November after being stuck in a 13-year-long conservatorship bravely outlined the abuse she endured over the years.
