Carrie Underwood feels pressure from unborn baby


Carrie Underwood’s toughest critic is her unborn baby.

The 31-year-old singer is pregnant with her first child, a son, and admitted she feels under pressure to impress the foetus when she sings because he cannot escape if her vocals are bad.

She explained: "I feel like he kind of feels … he hears me singing whether he would like that or not. I mean, that’s what I do, he doesn’t have a choice."

The ‘Something in the Water’ singer – who is expecting the baby with her hockey playing husband Mike Fisher, 34, who she wed in 2010 – said the pressure is especially strong because she feels like the child is always listening.

She added: "I do feel like I have to sing good all the time. Like, if I’m just in my car driving, I feel like I have to make it good because he’s listening. He’s always in there."

Carrie – who rose to fame after winning ‘American Idol’ in 2005 – also joked her parents weren’t very excited when they found out the star was expecting a child, because her siblings have already had several children of their own.

Appearing on ‘The Tonight Show’, she said: "I have lots of nieces and nephews so my parents were obviously very happy, but they’ve heard it all before. They have great grandchildren. I’m slow."
