Christina Aguilera Gets Revealing About Her Pregnancy

Christina Aguilera has stripped down to bare her pregnant body for the
January 2008 issue of Marie Claire magazine.

The pop singer, who waited months before finally confirming her baby news in
early November, spoke to the magazine about why she kept her news private for
so long.

“Because I hadn’t said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this
big, bad secret, and that’s not the case at all,” Aguilera told Marie Claire.
“I just wasn’t commenting. I’m not being like, ‘Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!‘
I’m not that girl.”

Aguilera told the magazine she was planning to try for a baby with husband,
record executive Jordan Bratman, after her “Back To Basics” concert trek, but
she got pregnant quicker than she expected.

“We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off
the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn’t know how much time it would take.
You’ve heard it takes some time — except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here,”
she laughed. “I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?’”

The singer reckons she conceived during a stop in Georgetown.

As a result of the intricate contraptions that were part of her stage set up
on tour, Aguilera said she had to take extra precautions once she learned she
was expecting, including wearing a heart monitor.

“I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong — somebody
could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was
going to jeopardize my baby for my show,” she said.

Another precaution the singer took? Telling her tour companions she was with
child.

“I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ‘Pregnant lady
onstage! Is she going to be OK?‘ But I had to announce it to my band and my
dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back,” she said.
