R&B star Rihanna is contemplating adopting a child in the future because she's terrified of giving birth.

The Umbrella singer has opened up about her future family plans, insisting she's excited to experience motherhood and she'll do whatever it takes to have kids, Contactmusic reported.

The 22-year-old star, who is dating baseball player Matt Kemp, said, "I'm really scared of the actual childbirth situation but I do want to be a mum one day. Even if I have to adopt, I want to be a mum."
