Us Weekly is reporting that Britney Spears is set to have a Caesarian section today.

Husband Kevin Federline told reporters last month that their second child together was due on 31st October, despite earlier comments that it would be a September birth.

Now according to the magazine, Britney has booked herself into the UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center in California to deliver the child today.

Britney is rumoured to be expecting a girl after including many girlie items on the baby shower present list but the source quoted in Us Weekly claims the couple don’t know the sex of the child: “They have names picked for a boy and a girl.”

The couple’s first child, Sean, was born via Caesarian in the same hospital last September.
