French first lady Carla Bruni says she will never let the media film or photograph her baby, which is due just months before her husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy, seeks re-election.
"I will do everything I can to protect this child ... I will never show photos of this child, I will never expose this child," Bruni told TF1 television.
The supermodel-turned-singer said she had made a "serious mistake" the one time she let her 10-year-old son from a previous relationship be exposed to the glare of the media spotlight.
This was when she visited the Petra archaeological site in Jordan during a visit there with Sarkozy during their whirlwind courtship before their marriage in 2008.
Bruni said she did not know if her new baby, due next month, was a boy or a girl.
