Mariah Carey Life and music career

The 'Hero' singer - who finally confirmed last week she is expecting her first child with husband Nick Cannon - is determined to do as much preparation for motherhood as possible and has completely changed her eating habits.

A source told gossip website Absolute Now: "Mariah has turned ultra health conscious. There is nothing unhealthy in the house. No junk food, no alcohol, nothing. Nick is making sure she has everything she needs including fetching her just about every book on babies and pregnancy ever written. Mariah is 41 and she's leaving nothing to chance
