The former swimming champion wore a comfortable mint T-shirt which stretched over her burgeoning bump.
Keeping her outfit casual but cool, the mother-of-one paired it with some grey leggings as she beamed for the camera.
Opting for a fresh faced look, Rebecca let her long blonde locks fall over her shoulders in the snap.
She captioned the beautiful picture: ‘Yep I’m ready to pop! So excited for the little one to arrive. I feel like it’s gone quite quickly until now…. now it feels like it’s dragging but then again we’re in lockdown and it’s January.’

It comes after Rebecca revealed she is not a ‘strict parent’ with daughter Summer, five, who she co-parents with ex-husband Harry Needs.
The swimmer said that people expect her to be harder on her daughter because of her experience of training for the Olympics.
However, Rebecca said that she and Harry, 28, who is a former swimmer himself, have adopted a ‘good cop and bad cop’ style of parenting.
