A very pregnant Beyoncé was photographed for the first time since rumors spread that she was giving birth.

She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman, a source told People magazine.

Her young sister, Solange, confirmed that the Halo singer was still pregnant, tweeting, Shout out to my sister for being THE cutest pregnant woman ever!

Rumors swirled that the 30-year-old was actually using a surrogate in order to stay in shape for an upcoming tour.
