Spears' social media departure announcement came a little over two weeks after she announced her pregnancy. "I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back. I thought, 'Geez what happened to my stomach ???' My husband said, 'No you're food pregnant silly !!!' " she wrote in an Instagram post she shared on April 11. "So I got a pregnancy test and uhhhhh well I am having a baby."
 

She even announced that she's planning to take a long break from the music industry to focus on herself. When reflecting on her past dealings of "waiting and waiting in those dressing rooms with my dad" as a performer for 14 years, she wrote, "They've ruined the thrill of the business for me 100000% !!!" before exclaiming, "Let's make it a 10 year break !! 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 ???'"

More recently, Britney shared that being pregnant with her baby made her crave carbs more than before.
