Beyonce Knowles-Carter sat down recently for an intimate interview with Katie Couric for ABC’s 20/20.

The interview airs tonight (December 2, 2011) at 10pm ET and Queen B will be talking about her controversial baby bump and addressing why we’ve seen it fluctuate day to day.

Couric greeted Beyonce with a hug during their “20/20” interview and she couldn’t resist giving the world’s most famous, fabulous and fierce baby belly a little rub.? [Sidebar: She was probably secretly checking for a pillow… ]

“I bet your mom does it all the time, and your sister,” Couric said.

“Oh yeah. I mean, I can’t walk. I have somebody holding me and hugging, and there’s going to be so much love around the baby,” Knowles said, laughing.

While the net continues to buzz about her actual due date, Beyonce has been guarded about those details.

The hot mom to-be recently released a video where she admits to playing a bit of hide & seek with her baby bump (click here if you missed it), but Bey explains that all the secrecy and games are merely for the protection of her unborn child.

The truth is, it’s safety.

I just want to make sure I can have a peaceful day. And I want to make sure my child is protected.

I guess that makes sense. There are quite a bit of loony bins out there…. *shrug*

Beyonce also talks about her pregnancy cravings, as well as reveals that she and hubby Jay-Z don’t have a preference as far as the gender of their child is concerned.
