The 43-year-old former model and musician told French newspaper Le Parisien that she was "totally fed up" after being unable to indulge in wine and cigarettes during the eight months of pregnancy.

"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."

The baby, which is due in six weeks, will be Ms Bruni-Sarkozy's second child and her first with President Nicolas Sarkozy. She has a son, Aurelien, born in 2001, with ex-boyfriend Raphael Enthoven.

The baby is due around Oct 1.

"Aurelien arrived on time, which means this could be a long wait, but I really do want this child so much," she said.

Friends of Ms Bruni-Sarkozy told the paper that because she was having a baby after the age of 40, her doctors had urged lots of "rest and clean-living".

Ms Bruni-Sarkozy has said she wants to keep the baby out of the public eye and regretted allowing the press to photograph Aurelien.
