Carla Bruni keeps publicly asserting how discreet she wants to be about her baby, due any day now. But will she and her husband really be able to resist using their child in what is already an incredible political soap opera?
Carla Bruni, French first lady, multimillionaire supermodel-turned-folk- singer, has found her pregnancy at 43 pretty boring. "Quite frankly, I can't stand it any more. I spend most of my time either sitting down or lying down. I can't drink or smoke any more. I'm in a hurry to get it over with." She thinks the public is pretty bored of it too. "It doesn't interest the French," she said somewhat paradoxically in one of her countless interviews about her bump shortly before she was expected to go into labour. France is indeed already weary of the baby story and the numerous false alerts of the birth that circulate daily on the internet. The Belgian media wrongly announced the birth last week after misinterpreting a joke in a comedy sketch on French radio. Bruni also told a journalist friend she was sorry for the disruption caused to staff by the waiting media circus near the private clinic where she is due to give birth any day now. Bruni has been satirised and mocked for doing more media in the final stages of pregnancy than ever before, while arguing, unconvincingly, that she wants to remain discreet about the baby. There have been carefully staged public appearances: in a designer dress meeting the public in the Elysée garden or handing out scholarships from her charity foundation, or in baggy jumper rushing out for a quick pizza with her husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy. Or briefing journalists that she is reading 17th-century French playwrights with her feet up

wow. pathetic. Smoking and drinking is so much more important than the baby to nihilists.
I guess she is being “punished with a baby” according to Obama...... You are sad human being if can’t see that a child is a Miraculous Gift from GOD!
Baby Sarko is due any day now.
The snarky remarks from Ultra left wing newspaper, the Guardian, are misplaced, and quite disgusting about this 43 year old young woman who truly wants this child.
Carla has been an exemplary First Lady of France, before and during her pregnancy. She looks lovely, and appropriately dressed every time she appears in public.
Compared to Moochelle-Antoinette and her huge caboose bump, Carla wins hands down.
This is a much wanted, long awaited child.
I don’t read that into her comments at all.
Women usually complain about their life during pregnancy, it does not mean they aren’t happy about having a child, or that they’ll love their child any less....but I would think for any women, they still want to get the pregnancy over with, and enjoy their life with the child.
The baby will be useful for occasional photo-ops, otherwise it will grow up with nannies.

Like Chastity Bono
This is a much wanted, long awaited child.
And you know this how?
One that is getting in the way of her smoking and drinking and shmoozing.

Well, actually, it gets that way toward the end. You just want it OUT!
LOL....I’ve heard that spicy foods and um..Other Activities help...
Man, that is one totally snarky article by a U.K. leftwing rag of no redeeming value. Disgusting article, really.
Wow. . .Seems like just yesterday; that this was a ‘baby bump’. . .
OH Yeah perfect example my mom she couldn’t wait me get out I was week late this was HOT August month in SO CAL LOL!
She was happy with future me even my aunt said that she couldn’t wait to hold her future daughter
Women go thorugh they can’t wait for the preganncy end they want hold “reward” in their arms
Why is Ms. Bruni wandering around in public in her nightgown, if she’s no longer drinking?
It’s very normal for women to want the pregnancy to be over as they near the 40th week.
I’d hit it...
Women often get grumpy during pregnancy. Just give them the ice cream and pickles and no one will get hurt!
