Most expectant parents can't wait to announce their news as soon as they are given that all-important three-month scan.
But not Adele, who kept her pregnancy under wraps until the last minute, after reports today said she is due to give birth in two months.
The award-winning singer, 24, announced she was expecting her first baby with boyfriend Simon Knoecki, 36, on June 30.
But according to heat, the singer is due to have her baby in September, meaning she was six months pregnant when she went public.
In hindsight, all the clues were there before she revealed her news - she didn't fly to the States for the Billboard Awards in May even though she won 12 gongs.
And she arrived at the Ivor Novello Awards in London a week later dressed in a very loose fitting black dress.
She also snuck in late and refused to speak to the press or pose for photos, even though she is usually very chatty and friendly towards the media.
A source told the publication: 'Adele has barely left the house in recent months, so she could keep this to herself for as long as possible.
'She stopped exercising a few months ago, and since then it’s been all about the baby.'
Adele announced her pregnancy on her website and said: 'I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together.
