Oh, baby!

Shakira already had one false birth start (who knew Spanish April Fools' took place in December?), but this time around, no kidding, the stork is definitely circling.

The Latina superstar was seen entering a hospital in Barcelona hospital today in advance of delivering her first child with footballer Gerard Piqué.

"I'd like to ask you all to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life. Shak," she tweeted this morning, in both English and Spanish.

Shakira was accompanied to the clinic by Gerard, her father and siblings.

It'll be the first child for the 35-year-old, who last week held a virtual baby shower to benefit UNICEF.

Can't wait to see the new bundle of joy!
