Mariah Carey is pregnant ... also reveals miscarriage shock

In August, Carey explained she is "superstitious" about pregnancy and promised, "When the time is right, everyone will know."

Carey explains to Billy Bush , "It's still early, I'm expecting in the spring, I'll say that. I don't want to give too much of like, specific outlines."

"Yes, we are pregnant, this is true!" Mariah said. "It's been a long journey. It's been tough because I've been trying to hold on to a shred of privacy."

"At this point, there is no choice. I either talk or I hibernate," she said.

Cannon says the experience is "absolutely emotional" -- adding, "the greatest gift on earth is a child."

Carey also talked about a miscarriage she suffered two years ago ... she was one month into her pregnancy at the time, PEOPLE reports.

Two years ago, shortly after the couple's secret wedding, Carey and Cannon were in Monte Carlo for the World Music Awards when Carey took a pregnancy test, and it turned out to be positive. "Only one person knew about this and we were like, um, 'let's not tell anybody else,'" Carey said.

A little more than a month later, she miscarried. "It was really sad so we had to just, we had really to absorb this and take it in," Carey said. Cannon added, "And that's what I said, like her strength would literally be during the day so festive and smiling obviously for cameras and spending time with everyone and you know, literally that night crying herself to sleep."

Cannon said of the loss, "It strengthened our relationship so much ... she handled it so well."
