I’m superstitious,says pregnant Carla Bruni

Carla Bruni,wife of French President,is pregnant with her second child.

As the ornate Elysee Palace is getting ready to welcome the first baby,Carla Bruni,French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife,says she has not spoken publicly about her pregnancy because she is “superstitious” about it.

Bruni,43,is pregnant with her second child — her first with Sarkozy — and has been rather quiet about it after the international media followed her closely.

“I’m superstitious,so yes,I’ve been very careful,” she said in an interview.

“But there isn’t much to say. So many women are expecting children and giving birth and it’s so uninteresting for French people.

“It’s great news for me,but it’s also something very banal,” the former supermodel-turned-singer said.

This is,however,the first time there will be a baby in the Elysee Palace — the French President’s residence — and she acknowledges that it marks a change for France.

“I guess it’s the modern world going into the French Republic,which is not bad,” she says.

Part of the reason for that,she says,is that her husband is “a different type of President” — French Presidents don’t usually get divorced and remarried.
