Ready to pop: Heavily pregnant Gwen Stefani does some last minute shopping before baby

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.'
