The Grammy-winning rapper spilled the tea on her pregnancy with her baby girl—whom she and estranged husband, Offset, welcomed earlier this month. Cardi, 31, and Offset—whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus—share children Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 3.


“I found out late too,” the “Bodak Yellow emcee told the millions of followers who were tuned in to her Instagram Live on Sept. 28 about her pregnancy news.


Cardi went on the explain that in January, she underwent surgery to get butt injections and fibrosis removed from her body which called for two blood tests. Both came back negative for pregnancy. Cardi explained that after the operation, she was busy doing promotion for her single “Enough” and one morning she woke up—and the signs were there.


“I woke up one morning and my mouth tasted like copper,” she said. “And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this only happens to me when I’m pregnant. So, I immediately knew that I was pregnant.”


Putting her own timeline together, Cardi concluded she was around six or seven weeks pregnant. However, her doctor soon clarified that was not the case.


“She was like, ‘You’re not seven weeks pregnant or six weeks pregnant. You’re like 17 weeks pregnant,’ she recalled the doctor telling her. “I was like, ‘No f--king way, I only had sex one time this year.”


Cardi’s doctor showed her the sonogram, and that’s when the surprise timing of her pregnancy was put into perspective.


“When I looked it was a whole baby,” she said of the sonogram. “It’s not like a little bean type of s--t, it was a big ass baby.’”



After originally thinking that she and Offset conceived their child on Valentine’s Day, she remembered their “really nasty night on New Year’s”


“I ain’t gonna lie to you when I saw that sonogram and I saw that it was like a full baby, I saw 10 toes and 10 fingers I got real real, real, real emotional right away,” she recalled. “And then I was like, ‘What is it?’ And like my OBGYN was like, ‘It’s a girl.’ When I found out it was a girl, I standing crying even more because y’all know I really love raising girls.”


She continued, “I felt like god was telling me this is your baby, that’s why you didn’t know how long.”


The “Motorsport” rappers announced the arrival of their baby girl—whose name they have kept private—on Sept. 12. A month prior to their daughter’s arrival, Cardi filed for divorce from the Migos rapper, and announced that they were expecting their third child.


“I’m just so in love with my baby she’s so cute and she’s the cutest cutest cutest thing,” Cardi said on IG live. “She’s such a tiny bean and I feel like after I gave birth to her, I just had this sprout of energy. I just really feel like God sent me that baby to me.”


The “WAP” emcee admitted that she was scared to tell her family, friends and fans about the baby for fear of being “judged" about having a baby while no longer being with her husband.


Though she eventually told her family after she “started to look very pregnant” and couldn’t hide it from them anymore. Cardi still kept it under wraps and away from the public because of the past scrutiny. That is also why she won’t show her baby girl’s face.


“I wish you guys could see her,” she said. “I don’t want to show my baby until she’s a little older.”


The “Money” rapper expressed another fear, the health of her baby who was inside of her while she underwent the surgery. There were no complications and according to her, her baby’s birth was “perfect.”


Despite the end of her marriage to Offset, baby No. 3’s arrival came during a place of more stability for Cardi.


“I like the fact now with my daughter I have a home,” she said explaining that with her other two children she was still living between Atlanta and New York. “Everything is right in place I have a nanny that’s helping us with the baby. I never really had a nanny like that, I don’t know, this time it’s like so much easier.”
