Alongside the photos, she also revealed his name as she wrote: "Jude Xavier Dobinson.

Posting a full-length mirror selfie, she wrote: "Gonna miss wearing these little stretchy numbers, gonna miss me big old bump but so excited. Really not long to go."
She went on to say: "Did anyone else when they’re pregnant think wow this is the last time we are doing this before everything changes. Me and @scottdobby had our last day at the beach as a family of 3 before our baby boy comes along.
