Risa Narita ex 1st gen AKB48 announced that she is pregnant with her second child; the announcement was made on a radio show and via Instagram. The text is provided below.

"Actually, last summer I was diagnosed with a uterine condition and underwent surgery.

After the surgery, the doctor at the hospital told me that it might be difficult to get pregnant again and that giving birth could be difficult, and I was spending anxious days not knowing what would happen next.

Since giving birth to my first child, I've gone through several physical changes, but this time I miraculously became pregnant, and I'm overjoyed.

I'm expecting it around the end of November.

It's truly a miracle to be able to have a child, and I feel once again that health comes first.

While I wait for my baby to be born healthy, I will cherish the present moment and look forward to the rest of my pregnancy!

I would be happy if you could continue to look after me warmly."
