Michelle Obama: I'm not pregnant

Chicago, Mar 25: Michelle Obama has set the record straight: She's not pregnant.

While in an interview this month with Oprah Winfrey in "O: The Oprah Magazine", the First Lady put baby rumours to rest.

Mrs Obama apparently has been the speculation of pregnancy buzz ever since Barack got elected, reports The Chicago Sun-Times.

In an excerpt from the interview, Oprah asked her: Well, you look better than ever - despite the rumors that you've got a baby bump.

To which, Michelle replied: [Laughter] I know - I was like, "Baby bump? As hard as I work on my abs?!"

Oprah continued: By the way, nobody would be happier if you were pregnant than Gayle King. Out of nowhere, she'll tell me, "Oh God. I really hope Michelle gets pregnant - and that it's a boy!"

Michelle said: [More laughter] Here's the scoop. Not pregnant. And not planning on it. Not pregnant. Not pregnant.
