Angelina Jolie has been quietly suffering from an disease that hits pregnant women, it has been claimed.
The star, who is said to be expecting boy and girl twins, has reportedly contracted a type of diabetes, reports UK tabloid The Sun.
She is also reportedly nauseous and her legs are so swollen, that she has been forced to wear a larger shoe size.
A source revealed: “She has gestational diabetes.”
“She found out about a month ago.
“She’s been seeing a nutritionist about it frequently.”
The condition is treated with diet and exercise.
It is curable, but sufferers run the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Angelina is also feeling the brunt of constantly being on-the-go as a mum-to-be, and is getting constantly tired from taking her four other kids to Texas, where partner Brad Pitt, 44, is filming.
A source told US magazine Star: “She’s sick and irritable and feels heavy and weak.”
