A Namibian newspaper stated, "Jolie ... is expected to go into labor in the next 48 hours." The story speculated that Angelina would likely have a home birth, but that an airplane would be on stand-by, in case the couple changed their minds and wanted to deliver the baby elsewhere.

Though the couple has already made a deal with a U.S. weekly magazine for the first official baby pictures, paparazzi in Namibia hope to score the first candids. A source for Briatian’s Daily Mirror said, "[Brad and Angelina have] signed a [$5 million] deal with a publication and the money will go to children's charity UNICEF. 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."
