Christina Aguilera has requested enlarged versions of photographs from her recent nude magazine shoot.

The 'Dirrty' singer - who is expecting her first child with husband Jordan Bratman in the New Year - proudly showed off her pregnant stomach in a series of naked shots for Marie Claire magazine.

The mother-to-be was reportedly so impressed with the photographs she has asked the magazine to produce a set of blown-up versions for her to display in her house.

A source close to the singer said: "Christina loved those pictures, and wants to put them up in her house so everyone can see them.

"She also wants them to be up when the baby is born so she can show him or her what their mum looked like while she was pregnant."

Christina told Marie Claire she was shocked when she discovered she was pregnant on her 'Back to Basics' tour.

She said: "We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the contraceptive pill to prepare my body, because I didn't know how much time it would take.

"You've heard it takes some time - except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here. I just can't believe it happened so quickly!"
