Cardi announced her third pregnancy on Instagram in early August. “Every ending is a fresh start! I’m glad for this season with you, which has offered me love, life, and power!” Cardi captioned photographs of herself in a crimson dress revealing her belly.

“Reminded me I can have everything! I never have to choose between life, love, and passion, thanks to you! I love you and can’t wait for you to see what you pushed me to do!”

“It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!” she wrote.

One day after filing for divorce from Offset after six years, the rapper announced her pregnancy. Cardi’s spokesman told PEOPLE, “It’s not based on cheating rumors, but rather has been a long time coming.”

In an X Spaces discussion in August, Cardi described a “freak accident” that left her briefly “paralyzed” and nearly ended her pregnancy.

My f–king strange accident. I don’t know how something—well, it wasn’t tiny, it hurt,” the singer remarked without details or a diagnosis.

“It rarely happens, but it got so big I was paralyzed,” she said. “And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come.”

Thankfully, “it didn’t,” she said. “I felt fantastic yesterday. I returned high as a kite.”

Cardi updated fans on her mood, stating, “Honey, I woke up sober. If I don’t feel good in four hours, I’m going to the hospital and don’t care.”

“I’ll embellish this s— to obtain more morphine. Morphine me! “I don’t care,” she laughed.
