Spears, 23, announced on her Web site that she and husband Kevin Federline are expecting their first child.
Spears had expressed an interest in having children, and magazines have been speculating on her expanding waistline. While it would be the first child for Spears, her husband, Kevin Federline, is already father to two children with his ex-girlfriend, Shar Jackson.
The following message was posted on Britney's official Web site:
Dear fans,
The time has finally come to share our wonderful news that we are expecting our first child together. There are reports that I was in the hospital this weekend. Kevin and I just want everyone to know that all is well. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Love, Britney and Kevin
In an earlier interview with People magazine, Spears discussed her desire to start a family. After she and Federline, 27, were married on Sept. 18, 2004, in a ceremony at a private home in Studio City, Calif., Spears said: "I want to be a young mom. I can see us as parents."
Just before Thanksgiving last year, Spears posted a letter to fans talking about her desires to take a break from music and focus on motherhood.
"I've had a career since I was 16, have traveled around the world and back, and even kissed Madonna! The only thing I haven't done so far is experience the closest thing to God, and that's having a baby. I can't wait!" she wrote.
