"Jolie ... is expected to go into labor in the next 48 hours," the Namibian News Paper said under the banner headline "Jolie-Pitt baby expected shortly".

There are three private hospitals in the two closest towns of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund reports News.au.

But baby-watchers have concluded the real due date could still be weeks away, making for an even longer wait for the most beautiful child this world has ever seen.

When the baby arrives, according to the The Daily Mirror in London the couple will receive 5 million dollars from U.S. weekly magazine for the baby's first pictures.

"They've signed a £2.6 million ($5 million) deal with a publication and the money will go to children's charity UNICEF," the tabloid quoted a source close to the couple as saying.

"Angelina's very private but they figured they might as well use the opportunity of one child being born to help a lot of others."

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt's younger brother Doug recently has rubbished claims the family is engaged in a jealous row with the star's pregnant girlfriend Angelina Jolie.

Recent reports have suggested the Brad's relationship with Jolie has caused a rift with the Pitts, and they're furious with her for taking Pitt away from America to Paris and Namibia with the birth of their son's baby so imminent.
