Janet Jackson is reaching out to her fans. 

The 50-year-old mama-to-be posted her first tweet Saturday since officially confirming her pregnancy to People in late October: "Hey you guys.. It's been awhile.. but I'm still listening.. I feel your love and prayers.. Thank you.. and I'm doing well.. Al Hamdu lillah," she wrote, concluding her message with an Arabic phrase that translates to, "Praise be to God."

Jackson had remained completely silent on the social media platform since August, though E! News reported in May that the "Rhythm Nation" songstress would soon welcome her first child with husband Wissam Al Mana.

Janet's latest health update follows her journey to motherhood that, as sources revealed to E! News, "hasn't been the easiest."

But despite initial health concerns and a medical order to rest, a source recently insisted, "The doctors said she is doing well and [told her] just to take it easy." Our insider explained, "She is due very, very soon," adding that Janet "can't wait to have the baby."

The couple has even considered baby names, and as the source told us, it will "have something to do with Michael Jackson."

Wishing Janet a happy and healthy finish to her pregnancy!
