Just days before she is expected to give birth to her second child, heavily pregnant Gwen Stefani has been doing some last-minute shopping.

The No Doubt singer, 38, and husband Gavin Rossdale, 42, enjoyed an afternoon shopping in Los Angeles with their two-year-old son Kingston.

Dressed with comfort in mind, a glowing Gwen opted for a lycra vest and loose-fitting skirt and flip-flops.

The expectant parents parked their car in a parking lot in Beverly Hills before checking out the latest baby gear in the nearby trendy designer boutiques.

Gwen's pregnancy was confirmed by her father-in-law Douglas Rossdale in January.

Last summer, The Sweet Escape singer spoke of her wish for a brother or sister for her son Kingston and how much she enjoyed the pregnancy process.

She said: 'Obviously I'm in a race to have another, but I don't want to do it while on tour.

'But I can't wait to get pregnant again. It's so fun and consuming and romantic.'

Since giving birth to Kingston in a Los Angeles hospital in May 2006, Gwen has been inseparable from her adorable toddler.

She enthused: 'I definitely don't get enough sleep, but I'd rather spend time with him. I've got this extra-fun, amazing, little guy who just wants to hang out with me.

'I love him so much. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me.'
