Ana Ortiz is going to name her baby after a vision in her dreams.

The 38-year-old actress - who plays Betty's sister Hilda Suarez in hit US show 'Ugly Betty' - had a night-time premonition about the sex of her unborn child, and was amazed to find out it was true.

She said: "Before I found out I was having a girl I dreamt that I was having a girl. I even dreamt what her name was, so I guess that name should be her real name."

Before I found out I was having a girl I dreamt that I was having a girl. I even dreamt what her name was, so I guess that name should be her real name.

Ana - who is married to musician Noah Lebenzon - is due to give birth in July and she admits she's already feeling the pressure to lose her baby weight because of her commitments to the sit-com.

She told People magazine: "I'm not going to lie. I'm immediately going to try to get back into shape. We start work on 'Ugly Betty' two weeks after I give birth. The pregnancy was not written in the show, so I wish I could be cool and let nature take its course, but no, I'm definitely going to try to get into shape.

"They say breast-feeding helps, so I'm going to be doing that, but there is this thing called the belly bandit and apparently that is supposed to help, but I'm going to pull out all the stops."
