Cardi B announced her pregnancy during a performance at the BET Awards in June this year.

She appeared on stage during a performance with hip hop trio Migos in a form-fitting Dolce & Gabbana body suit that perfectly showcased her bump.

The Bodak Yellow star also showed off her growing bump in a series of photoshoots with Kulture and Offset during her pregnancy.

Cardi said she started to show pregnancy symptoms two weeks before the Grammys during rehearsals for her performance with Megan Thee Stallion. She reported experiencing headaches and carsickness.

The singer said her second pregnancy felt like a new chapter.

She compared her children’s age difference to her relationship with younger sister Hennessy Carolina.

Cardi wrote “I just know these two will love each other soo much and argue soo much since they’re three years apart… just like me and Henny.

“But one thing for sure is they’ll have each other’s back like no one else ever will,” she added.
