Beyonce's countless fans are no doubt overjoyed by the impending arrival of her first child.

But no one is more thrilled about the pregnancy than the singer herself.

The 30-year-old is seen getting excited about her baby bump in a new behind-the-scenes video, which she posted on her YouTube page yesterday.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...

In the 31 second clip, the star is seen rubbing her burgeoning belly, all whilst exclaiming 'oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby'.

Holding up a copy of The New York Daily News, Beyonce points to a red-carpet picture of herself on the front cover where her belly is on show in an elegant floor-length gown.

'This was on the cover of the Daily News,' she says excitedly.

Dressed om a tight-fitting roll neck sweater and her hair in a Sixties Mod-style, she then goes on to explain that she is shooting her new video, Countdown.

'Right now I am actually shooting the video of Countdown, and I am six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits, hahaha,' she laughs.

'But thank god you can't really tell from the front, but when I turn to the side... Oh baby, oh baby!,' she says, as she once again happily clutches her bump.

Despite in her stomach looking flat in some images in the video, Beyonce actually incorporated her burgeoning belly in the stylish music clip.

In the video for the song, appropriately named Countdown, the star at one point turns to the side in a clinging black dress and shows off her blossoming tummy.

She sings: 'I’m tryin' to make us 3 from that 2' in the song, before three images of her displaying her bump are shown.

The star also shows off her new sidewards belly rubbing dance move which wowed the audience at MTV, when she first announced that she was pregnant.

She channels Audrey Hepburn in the video which sees her in a dark wig with a black fringe, cropped black trousers, and at one point, a black and white floppy hat, much like the actress in film My Fair Lady.

The video starts with a close up shot of the star in winged black eyeliner and false eyelashes.

A later shot shows her sporting bright green eyeshadow, and a pink lipsticked mouth which she curls up.

There's also a striking shot of the star standing against a black and white striped background, moving her arms in a clock style.

And clearly Countdown wouldn't be a Beyonce video without some flesh exposed.

Beyonce's baby bump has caused considerable controversy in recent weeks with critics analysing the size and shape of her pregnant figure in great detail.

Beyoncé first revealed her pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards in August, announcing it on the red carpet and again on stage as she patted her stomach after belting out a rendition of Love on Top.

She said: 'I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me.'

But the authenticity of her baby bump came under fire after an interview on Australian television hinted that she was wearing a prosthetic bump.

As she sat down during the chat with local TV personality Molly Meldrum on the Sunday Night programme, it appeared the bump got squashed.

Just days later she caused another furore on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon performing with a flat stomach: only to explain that it was pre-recorded.

Doubts however should be laid to rest over the issue as Beyoncé shows it off in this new behinds-the-scenes clip.

'Should I get you a pink baby present or a blue baby present?' she asks Beyonce, who coyly puts her finger to her mouth and replies 'Hmm...'

Following the interview, Couric tweeted her excitement about interviewing the singer.

'I loved BEYONCE. I first met her when she was 18 and she's still humble + incredibly sweet But strong as well!' she wrote on the social networking site.

The secret of the sex of Beyonce's baby may well already be out.

Earlier this month, Beyonce's best friend Kelly Rowland recently let slip in an interview that the Crazy In Love singer is expecting a little girl next year.

'I have no idea what I'm going to buy Beyoncé at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible,' the 30-year-old singer said.

Speaking at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards 2011 in London, Kelly added about the baby: 'She won't be spoiled but she will be very well looked after.

'I'll be on hand for babysitting duties and I'm actually very good with messy diapers!'

Kelly, who was a part of hit group Destiny's Child alongside Beyonce and Michelle Williams, is clearly looking forward to her friend's new arrival.

'I'm so happy for my sister and her husband,' she said. 'They're so happy in this moment right now, as they should be.

'They've made a little bundle of love, I'm so excited for them.
