Janet Jackson’s life is in danger as she tries to bring a new life into the world.
The singer is “at risk for serious complications” during her pregnancy at age 50.
Her weight is only making matters worse, as Janet has “ballooned to 250 pounds,” insiders tell OK!.
Those close to the expectant mom are concerned for her health, as one pal says, “This pregnancy is doing a number on her.”
This explains why Janet has become reclusive since learning about her baby and hasn’t even been photographed since July.
“She didn’t want anyone to see that she was already getting huge,” the source says of the summer photos, which barely even revealed her body.
This news comes after the performer was forced to postpone her world tour until 2017 this April in an effort to “plan” her family with husband Wissam Al Mana.
The next month she announced her pregnancy.
Although Janet hasn’t spoken personally about her supposed medical difficulties while carrying a child, her brother Tito Jackson did hint there might be issues.
“She’s taking it easy,” the Jackson 5 star told Andy Cohen in June. “As you know, she is off tour, protecting her health.”
Tito says his sister is simply “hoping for a healthy baby.”
We hope that’s exactly what Janet gets!
