But the 32-year-old singer-turned businesswoman, who is expected to give birth to her baby boy any day now, has been sporting a noticeably slimmer figure the second time round.
Speaking to a US magazine, Jessica revealed that she has been working hard to keep the weight off during her second pregnancy.
'Now I’m working out three times a week,' she said. 'I’ve only gained half of what I did in my first pregnancy!'

The Dukes Of Hazzard star admitted that she did not pay enough attention to her diet and fitness regime while pregnant with daughter Maxwell.
'With my first pregnancy I really let go. I felt like I deserved to eat whatever I wanted,' she said.
Speaking on the Ellen DeGeneres show last month, Jessica said that she has been eating much healthier during her second pregnancy.
‘This time around because I was doing Weight Watchers and I felt super-healthy, I’m not really craving as much. I know how hard it is to get [weight] off, so I’m trying to make healthier, wiser decisions,’ she said.

The Sweetest Sin singer gushed that she was looking forward to having a son and couldn’t wait to meet her little boy.
'I’m so excited to have a son (…) I didn’t grow up with a brother and I think the unknown is really exciting. I can’t wait to have that connection with our little man.'
Jessica and her fiancé, 33-year-old former NFL player, Eric Johnson celebrated the upcoming birth of their son with a Tom Sawyer-themed baby shower last Sunday.
The lavishly decorated event coordinated by celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss, with a star-studded guest list, including actress Jessica Alba and sister Ashlee Simpson.
And while the Fashion Star mentor was showered with plenty of gifts for her boy, the guests received some interesting party favours themselves.
Amongst gifts including nail polish and lipgloss, attendees reportedly received contraceptives, yes you read right, because as Weiss said, ‘This baby was a surprise for Jessica and Eric.’
