Singer Britney Spears on Monday announced that she is pregnant with her third child, five months after her controversial guardianship ended that barred her from having more children.

In a long post on Instagram, the pop icon also opened up about struggles with perinatal depression during previous pregnancies, saying it was “absolutely horrible.”

“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,” the pop star wrote.
