Nicole Kidman has chosen Patrick Demarchelier to take exclusive photographs of her pregnant body.

The 40-year-old actress - who is expecting her first biological child with husband Keith Urban - is said to have decided on the renowned photographer to take the exclusive snaps, but wants to wait until she is nearly ready to give birth before the shoot.

A source close to the Cold Mountain actress told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Nicole wants to wait until she looks really pregnant."

Nicole isn't the first celebrity to be photographed while pregnant.

Demi Moore caused controversy when she bared her baby bump on the front of Vanity Fair magazine in 1991, while she was expecting daughter Scout LaRue.

Troubled singer Britney Spears and Dirrty star Christina Aguilera have also posed nude in tasteful shots for magazines while pregnant.

Meanwhile, the Moulin Rouge star - who has two adopted children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise - has revealed she is enjoying being pregnant.

Nicole said: "I feel good!" when asked how her body was coping with the third trimester.
