Kelly Rowland: I've longed for pregnancy

Kelly Rowland believes she spoke her pregnancy into existence.

The former Destiny's Child singer is currently carrying her first child, a boy, with her husband Tim Witherspoon. Kelly feels she can continue with her career after she gives birth because it is something she has been planning for a long time.

"I watch Diana Ross and Donna Summer and all these women - they've managed to do it all. I think 'What makes me different? I can definitely do it.' And this is something I've wanted," she explained to Elle.com. "I've been talking about babies since last year. I believe I spoke it into existence during a conversation with my friend, and I feel like I became pregnant overnight!"

The 33-year-old posed naked for the outlet, covering her modesty with her hands. She is one of many famous women to strike the pose, including Demi Moore and Christina Aguilera, but Kelly doesn't understand why females get berated for it.

"I don't know why they would get flack. It's really - I won't say amazing - it's Godmazing watching your body carry a human," she said with a laugh. "Why wouldn't you want to celebrate that? The body should be celebrated."

While Kelly is looking forward to the arrival of her son in a few weeks, she doesn't know what kind of 'celebrity mom' she's going to be and plans on "playing it by ear".

"Everybody has their normal. And sometimes, award shows are a part of that. I have girlfriends who have that experience, and they'll say 'You know, I just really didn't want to be without my child today.' And it's just that simple," she said. "It's about finding your normal, whatever that may be."
