Singing superstar Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z may be celebrating the pitter-patter of little feet a little sooner than originally reported.

The Countdown singer announced that she was expecting her first child during an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in late August.

She later revealed on Australian chat show Sunday Night that she was due in February.

Beyonce gushed on the show: "My husband and I have been together for 10 years - all of my 20s - and I just feel like it's time and I'm very grateful that God has blessed me with the biggest gift any human being can have. I think because I've accomplished a lot of things for myself and I really know who I am, I didn't rush into anything.

"If it's any time, right now is the time, and I'm so happy."

But, in new behind-the-scenes footage shot from her Countdown video on September 23, the 30-year-old singer reveals that she was six months pregnant at the time - much furthur along that what was reported.

In the brief video, posted on her YouTube page this week, mum-to-be Beyonce holds up a copy of the September 23rd issue of the Daily News, featuring a red carpet snap of her and her burgeoning belly.

"Hello, it's September 23. Oh baby! Oh baby! Oh baby! Oh baby!" the pregnant diva booms excitedly, while rubbing her tummy and exaggerating the paper's headline.

"Right now I'm actually shooting the video for Countdown and I'm six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits," she laughs. "But thank god you can't really tell from the front, but when I turn to the side... oh, baby! Oh, baby!"

So it looks like Babyonce (widely rumoured to be a girl) will be making an appearance in late December, or early in the New Year.
