The 31-year-old singer – who is married to motocross star Carey Hart – had wanted to start a family for a while and was “nervous” about releasing the news because she had previously suffered a miscarriage.
She said: “I didn’t want to talk about it because I was just really nervous and I have had a miscarriage before. I worked for it. It was not an, ‘Oops!’ ”
The ‘So What’ hitmaker – who said she is “eating for two” – doesn’t definitely know the sex of the baby but “thinks” it will be a girl, which has given her cause for concern.
She joked to US TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “My mom has always wished me a daughter just like me. I’m terrified one of us will go to jail!”
While Pink – real name Alecia Moore – and Carey are overjoyed to be expecting their first child, the couple’s relationship hasn’t always gone smoothly, and they separated for almost a year in 2008.
The ‘Stupid Girls’ hitmaker believes their split was necessary as it has brought them closer than ever.
She said: “We worked really hard and we had our little meltdowns, a couple of them, and now, we’re honestly, we both needed to do that and come back together. It’s just yummy.”
