Jessica Simpson is going to deliver her baby in 4-inch heels

Jessica Simpson stepped out in Beverly Hills, California, wearing a long dress with a pair of very high heels and showed no signs of slowing down despite preparing for the birth of her first child.

Heavily pregnant Jessica Simpson, 31, needed her assistant to carry their bags as she shopped at Saks Fifth Avenue for a few items before heading home.

Dressed in a long red dress Jessica Simpson wore a pair of brown peep-toe platform shoes as she strutted down the street.

The mother-to-be said last year that she has no intention of taking the weight off her feet and vowed to continue wearing high heeled shoes whenever she could.

Jessica Simpson joked to Us Weekly: “I’m probably going to deliver my baby in these [4-inch YSL heels].”

However, even with the dangerously high footwear, Jessica Simpson seemed comfortable as she continued handing her assistant her shopping bags.

Jessica Simpson is engaged to NFL player Eric Johnson and the pair is due to tie the knot later this year.

They are excited about welcoming their first child into the world, and are no doubt wondering when that exact day will be.
