France's First Lady, Carla Bruni, is in hospital and awaiting the birth of her child.

Bruni has reserved four rooms that cost 250 euros (Rs 16,500) per night.u00a0

In one of the rooms will remain Italian model and singer, while the other rooms have been reserved for France's President Nicolas Sarkozy, and his bodyguards.

However, one of the doctors stated that the rooms which accommodate Bruni and the family are not of great luxury, but only slightly larger than other hospital rooms.

The baby that was due on October 3, has put the French press in a tizzy. However, Bruni who has a child with professor Raphael Enthoven has said that she would protect her newborn from the paparazzi, saying, "You don't have a child for the gallery."
