Heavily pregnant Janet Jackson looks radiant as she hits the shops in London ahead of the arrival of her first baby
The 50-year-old megastar postponed her UK tour ahead of her upcoming arrival
JANET Jackson has been spotted for the first time since announcing her pregnancy and looks glowing as she prepares for her upcoming arrival.
The radiant music icon nipped out into Central London for some last-minute baby essentials before she gives birth, and while she kept a low profile, looked beaming.
Janet, 50, rocked a flawless complexion as she kept it comfortable in a baggy shirt and tracksuit bottoms for the day out, with her hair kept off her face by a plain black headband.
Making sure she took extra care of herself, the Dammn Baby singer made a whistlestop trip to Back in Action - a store that sells supplies to alleviate back pain while she carries the tot.
Greeted on arrival by the store manager, the entire shop was shut down so Janet could browse without interruption before she was whisked away in a black Mercedes along with her bodyguard and personal assistant.
The 50-year-old megastar announced she was expected her first child with husband Wissam Al Mana in May this year and is expecting the new arrival by the end of this year.

Apart from the announcement of her pregnancy, the ever private star has remained tight-lipped about the sex of the baby as well as it's due date.
Before she officially announced she was expecting, Janet cancelled a world tour in order to rest, and in a video on Twitter said: "I thought it was important that you be the first to know.
"My husband and I are planning our family, so I'm going to have to delay the tour.
"Please, if you could 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. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can."
Janet's big sister La Toya has since gone on record to praise Janet for how well she's doing in her pregnancy, and told Entertainment Tonight in early September that she was "doing fabulous".
