Britney posted a confused post in the middle of planning their wedding. She later revealed that she had miscarried.

“I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back,” she wrote. “I thought ‘Geez … what happened to my stomach ???’ “I thought ‘Geez… what happened to my stomach???’,” said my husband. […] So I took a pregnancy exam […] and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby…”
“4 days later I got a little more food pregnant […] It’s growing! If 2 are in there … I might just loose [sic] it,” Britney added. “I obviously won’t be going out as much due to the paps getting their money 💴 shot of me like they unfortunately already have … it’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression.”
Many of the singer’s followers questioned in the comments if she was serious. Nonetheless, Britney appeared to confirm the pregnancy news again in subsequent posts expressing excitement to have a baby with her then-fiancé.
Britney Spears Had A Miscarriage A Month After Announcing Her Pregnancy

Why Britney Spears’ Pregnancy was A Hoax, According to Fans
Unfortunately, the news of Britney’s miscarriage didn’t reduce the speculation around her original pregnancy. Some fans even took the miscarriage to prove that it was a hoax.
Following the announcement about her miscarriage, comments online appeared from folks who said the news wasn’t surprising.
“Knew this was coming,” one person wrote, while another added, “Right on cue.”
Sam’s behavior on social media was also criticized following the miscarriage revelation, as he returned to posting gym selfies shortly after.
If Britney’s pregnancy wasn’t real, this begs the question of Why? She would lie about the incident. Some theories claim she falsified it because of ongoing mental health issues. This is supported by her original conservatorship.
This could be a PR stunt to garner sympathy and attention Britney. Amid the controversy surrounding her conservatorship, much of the public still isn’t sure whether to believe the singer or her family’s claims about her well-being and treatment under the guardianship.
Following Britney’s claims that she wanted to get pregnant but was unable to do so because of the conservatorship, she may have pre-emptively announced she was expecting to fans knowing how much they want this for her, even though there wasn’t a real pregnancy yet.
This also isn’t the first time Britney has been accused of faking a pregnancy as a publicity stunt. Britney was photographed in January 2008 looking at pregnancy tests alongside her boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib.
Britney said she was searching for a friend and the tests were assumed to be for her. She said that she had never been to a pregnancy test. It was for a friend.
Following Britney’s comments, it was assumed her paparazzo boyfriend put her up to the stunt, considering how much money the images and videos sold for as well as how much short-lived notoriety it gave the burgeoning photographer.
Britney has been accused before of trying to fake a pregnancy for attention. Now, there is more reason to believe she tried it again after the announcement of her miscarriage. However, Britney maintains that her pregnancy happened, and with little else to go on, it appears fans are just going to have to take the singer’s word.
