In 2020, Fantasia Barrino announced she was expecting her first child with husband Kendall Taylor. Now, only six months into her pregnancy, the singer shared sheâs experiencing contractions and is in the hospital.
Posting a series of videos to her Instagram Story, Fantasia provided fans an update on her condition.
âGood morning. Weâve been in the hospital all day,â she began. âWe have to stay in the hospital for a while. My baby girl thinks sheâs missing something out here, but sheâs got to stay in here a little longer.â
Additionally, Barrino praised her husband for his support.
âI thank God for my husband. Heâs over there knocked out, poor thing! Heâs been riding in there with me,â she said, adding that her contractions were âstarting to come down now.â

âMy body is just tired, but weâve got this,â Fantasia said during the video she posted.
In December, the Grammy Award winner opened up about past struggles sheâs had with fertility.
During a special guest appearance on The Tamron Hall Show Fantasia said that it had actually taken her years to conceive naturally.
“At first, we thought we were going to have to do different things,” Barrino says. “This is a three-year journey we’ve been on.”
Fantasia said that sought help from a doctor who first told her that one of her fallopian tubes had closed, at that time the couple decided to take a break and âlet God be God.â
“I kid you not, I forgot about it,” she continued. “And then I woke up one night, and I was just like, ‘Something’s different.'”
Fantasiaâs soon-to-be new bundle of joy will be her third child. She has sons Zion and Dallas from a previous relationship while Kendall has a son, Treyshaun, also from a previous relationship.
