Natalie Portman calorie galore!

Natalie Portman is using her pregnancy to enjoy a lot of what she denied herself while training for Black Swan.

The 29-year-old actress, expecting her first child with Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied, says she’s enjoying the run up to her biggest day since the Oscars.

“It’s important when you have a baby inside you to still eat healthily but I am having my fair share of ice cream and dessert,” she says. “It’s nice to relax a little about eating and not deny yourself the odd craving.”

Portman recently revealed she’s refusing to buy any baby stuff until she gives birth

“I think it’s a Jewish thing to be kind of superstitious. You don’t do any of the baby stuff before the baby arrives,” she said.

However, Natalie says she’s enjoying every moment of her pregnancy and has had no complications.

“My back is not feeling great right now, sitting for so long. But everything’s really great otherwise,” she said.

While she has not bought any baby items, it seems Natalie will be purchasing all things blue after it was reported she is expecting a baby boy.

“They’ve only told a very small group of family members and friends that they’re expecting a son. They are so excited. Benjamin cannot wait to be a father,” a source said.

“Natalie had a big smile on her face. She looked amazing.”
