"Natalie Portman has revealed that she is superstitious when it comes to her baby. The Black Swan actress who announced that she is expecting last December, explained that her Jewish upbringing is the reason she has such beliefs. She explained on Access Hollywood: &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s a Jewish thing to be kind of superstitious. You don&amp;#039;t do any of the baby stuff before the baby arrives.&amp;quot; However, the 29-year-old said that her pregnancy is mostly going well.  She added: &amp;quot;My back is not feeling great right now, sitting for so long. But everything&amp;#039;s really great otherwise.&amp;quot; According to sources, Portman has announced to her friends and family that she is expecting a boy. An insider commented: &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;ve only told a very small group of family members and friends that they&amp;#039;re expecting a son. They are so excited. Benjamin cannot wait to be a father. &amp;quot;Natalie had a big smile on her face. She looked amazing.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
