Peaches Geldof has revealed that her baby is due on her late mother's birthday.
The TV star is expecting a boy on April 24, the same date that her mother Paula Yates was born.
Geldof said she believes that Yates, who died in 2000 aged 41, is "watching over her".
She told Hello magazine: "I feel like it's a little wink from my mum - her way of sending a message to let me know she's watching over me and my baby.
"It was amazing for me when they told me that, very emotional and touching and just really beautiful. I was so happy.
"My mum was an amazing mother. We were alike in so many ways. It's really lovely that I'm experiencing something that she did at a similar stage of our lives."
Geldof also revealed that her father Bob Geldof is excited to welcome a male member to the family.
"Oh my God, he was so happy, especially as I'm having a boy. The poor man's been surrounded by women up till now," she explained. "I knew he would be happy but I didn't realise how over the moon he would be."
Geldof is expecting her first child with fiancé Thomas Cohen.
