Actress Zoe Saldana has posed completely naked on the cover of Women's Health Naked issue.
The shots are unveiled as the 36-year-old has started to show glimpses of her baby bump for the first time.
In the interview the actress does not allude to the fact she is expecting, however she does say she is ready for her body to change.

Bumping along: On Monday the actress stepped out revealing her baby bump
She told the magazine: 'My body is less toned. I do look in the mirror and see things I don't want. My first reaction is I breathe and I think, 'I'm a woman, I'm 36, my body is changing.''
Zoe admits that in the last year she has relaxed her regime slightly, sharing: 'This past year I've had to start letting go. My body dictated it as if saying, 'Slow the f**k down!' ... And I struggle with that. I love to be an athlete.'
However judging by the images, which see her in one shot protecting her modesty with her knees and the other with her arms, she is still in great shape.

Speaking about how she has developed over the years, she revealed: 'I've learnt to listen to myself, so whenever I don't feel like doing anything that starts with 'I should' then I don't.'
And she admitted that she now has more of a grasp on the bigger picture: 'I'm exactly where I want to be. I do feel beautiful in a way that even when I was working out a whole lot, I sometimes didn't.
'Because there have been times that I was really slender and I didn't like that I sometimes looked a little too muscular and flat chested - you'll never be completely happy, so at the end of the day it's like "F**k it. Just be happy, regardless."'
Not surprisingly Zoe, who is currently promoting Guardians Of The Galaxy, opened up about her husband Italian artist Marco Perego.
She shared: 'We give each other a great deal of support and love but it wasn't because we found it in each other, we came that way and then got together.
'That's what I love about it. I do believe whatever's meant to be will be - but had the universe said,
'Let's just wait, he's going to come into your life later,' I would've been fine on this journey I was on just knowing who the f**k I was."
