Congratulations are in order for K. Michelle, who recently announced that she’s expecting twins via surrogate.

However, the news is a little bittersweet as the singer revealed via Twitter that she recently suffered a lupus scare and has been struggling with fertility issues. Tweeting Thursday, the singer said, “So my docs told me I had lupus.I was devastated for 2weeks.Then the fertility doctor told me that I couldnt carry twins full term.”

So my docs told me I had lupus.I was devastated for 2weeks.Then the fertility doctor told me that I couldnt carry twins full terms.but wait

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

 

But my body was tired, my mind was just beat down.My results from the doctor came again as dormant or negative.So I feel 2my knees to praise

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

 

I still have to pay close attention to my blood work every 3 months 4safety. But just when I thought that was over. I get another call

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

 

Then a call from my obgyn saying that if I have twins they would not be full term because of my size and health. Literally I was so broken

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

 

I kept beating myself up like. Your being punished by God because you had that abortion. Man talk about a broken spirit.

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

Michelle opened up about the ordeal in an interview with Billboard, telling the publication about her struggle to find a surrogate after being told she wouldn’t be able to carry twins.

“So this big process, I’m gonna have to pick a surrogate and everything and that’s very nerve-wracking and I have an album coming out, I’m gonna have to try and prepare,” she said. “New babies are coming and it’s really something we’ve been wanting. I just want to make the right decision when it comes to picking a surrogate and that process has completely started.”

Later, the singer revealed that she’d finally received news that a surrogate had been found, writing on Twitter, “They really found the perfect surrogate for us.”

2weeks of what felt like my world was crumbling.2day we got a call that THEY REALLY FOUND THE PERFECT SURROGATE for us.My hands were shaking

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

 

Still feelin punished for what I had done in the past.I had 2find the positive because I dont believe God would leave me out there like that

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

 

I had to talk to myself. Things don't always go as u feel they should but they go and u better go wit it.

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

 

Im about to watch the most beautiful process and that's bringing two HEALTHY little girls in the world.That's all that matter 2me.God works

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

 

I wanna get this album out so I can really go teach and heal from these intimate seminars i'm doing,And raise my son,and these little ones.

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 14, 2017

After receiving tons of prayer and congratulations, Michelle told fans, “Focused and so happy about my family getting larger.”

Thanks 2every1 4ur prayers.As I stated in my tweet I have a positive&a negative lupus test.They Recheck blood N 2months.I know God,he got me

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 15, 2017

 

A lot of times the devil will step in to distract and destroy your happiness. I'm living my best life and he won't take this moment🌻

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 15, 2017

— K. Michelle (@kmichelle) September 15, 2017

We’re sending positive vibes after Michelle’s lupus scare and are excited as she embarks on her journey to expand her family.
