Cardi is expecting her third child with estranged husband Offset. Cardi announced the news just hours later on August 1 We weekly confirmed that the “WAP” rapper had filed for divorce from Offset. (The couple shares daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 2.)
“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most importantly renewed my strength! It reminded me that I can have it all!” Cardi, 31, wrote via Instagram at the time. “You reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love and my passion!”
She continued, “I love you so much and can’t wait for you to witness what you’ve helped me achieve, what you’ve pushed me to do! It’s so much easier to take life’s twists and turns and test them lying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth persevering!
Alongside the post, Cardi shared a series of photos in a red, low-cut dress, which exposed her stomach.
Cardi recently opened up about a freak accident that almost caused a pregnancy loss. “I was walking down the stairs and slipped a little. I was going to fall… I practically fell,” the rapper said on August 8 via X Spaces. “I tried to avoid falling. So I held on to the railing, but I still slipped and broke my ass a little.
Cardi explained that she felt a “weird tug” in her side and she couldn’t get up. She called her father to help her, but when her father came to her aid, she found herself unable to walk and feeling pain in her lower abdomen. Cardi decided to take a nap, hoping the pain would go away. However, she woke up feeling much worse.
“When I woke up, I couldn’t move my butt at all,” she recalls. “Just moving my feet hurt the pit of my stomach. I couldn’t move, I felt paralyzed.”
Cardi said she was rushed to the hospital and while being examined by doctors, she learned she had torn a ligament in her pelvis, right where her baby’s head is.
“I got dilated and had contractions every two minutes for 24 hours,” she said. “So they had to keep an eye on me. I was in a lot of pain, I couldn’t move for two days in a row.”
