She welcomed her first child with her partner Zayn Malik back in September.
And Gigi Hadid looked back at the special moment on Monday with a selfie she took only hours before she went into labor.
The 25-year-old model beamed with a soft smile in the Instagram photo, and she also shared other glimpses at life shortly before giving birth.
Big night: Gigi Hadid, 25, posted a throwback photo from the night before she gave birth to her daughter in September to her Instagram Stories on Monday
Gigi was decked out in an all-black button-up maternity jumpsuit that showcased her baby bump.
She appeared to be in a nursery that was already stocked with a changing pad for her baby daughter, whose name hasn’t been publicly revealed to date.
‘The night before I went into labor—,’ she captioned the snap.
Another image shared to her Instagram stories showed Gigi in the mirror while giving a clearer view of the nursery.
The catwalk star had decorated the cinnamon-colored walls with white bird cutouts that resembled designs from Henri Matisse.
Baby on board: Gigi looked sleek in an all-black maternity jumpsuit. Another photo showed her about a week earlier while wearing a tie-dye T-shirt in her nursery
‘—decorating & spending time in her nursery really helped me feel prepared when I would get too in my head ;),’ she wrote, while clarifying that the photo was taken ‘about a week before’ she went into labor.
Gigi was the beneficiary of a lifetime’s worth of children’s books after her baby’s birth, which she had prominently displayed on one wall with plain white shelves.
‘So many friends sent their favorite books,’ she wrote.
Another wall featured cute stuffed bunnies and drawings on a shelf overlooking the wood-frame sofa, which was covered with pillows and would be a relaxing spot to sit with the baby.

Gigi put an old-fashioned VCR filter on another photo revealing her daughter’s crib, which had sides of large wooden slats and white drapes at the head.
The crib was filled with cute stuffed bears to keep the baby company at night.
Gigi’s nursery reveal comes at the difficult time when she’s begun going back to work, even as she’s still spending much of her time caring for her daughter.
On Thursday, she posted a video of herself in closeup with glistening faux tears while looking somber.
‘Would say back 2 work BUT bein a mamma is a job like no otherrrr,’ she wrote, clarifying that she was ‘BACK IN THE OFFICE.’
Big transition: Gigi shared a selfie video to her Instagram Stories on Thursday and shared she’s ‘back in the office’ but ‘being a mamma is a job like no otherrrr’
Grandma: Gigi’s post complemented one by her mom Yolanda who posted a photo showing her cradling Gigi’s baby daughter and explained she was babysitting while the model was away
Meanwhile, her mother Yolanda Hadid cared for the baby.
She posted a photo of herself and the child, whose face has been hidden in all images so far, while at what looked like her farm in rural Pennsylvania.
‘We spent the day while Mamma was away,’ she captioned it while also tagging Gigi.
Gigi shares her daughter with her partner Zayn Malik, who was formerly part of the boy band One Direction before launching a solo career.
The lovebirds first got together in 2015 and appeared together on the cover of Vogue in August 2017 while wearing complementary gender-neutral clothing.
They confirmed Gigi’s pregnancy in April and the baby was reportedly born on Yolanda’s Pennsylvania farm, where the couple have been quarantining since May.
