There's A MAJOR Update In Janet Jackson's Pregnancy

Us Weekly is reporting that Janet Jackson has been placed on bed rest.

A close source told the publication that this rest has been strictly ordered by her doctors. "She's where all of her doctors are," the insider revealed about the star's pregnancy. "But she had taken her mother out to lunch a few weeks ago."

Back in May, we reported that Jackson was expecting her very first child. 

"My husband [Wissam Al Mana] and I are planning our family, so I’m going to have to delay the tour,” she said in a Twitter video. “Please, if you can try and understand that it’s important that I do this now, I have to rest up, doctor’s orders. But I have not forgotten about you.” 

Since then, Jackson hasn't made any public appearances. We're hoping the rest of her pregnancy is smooth sailing.
