Hawkins has been sharing progress pics of her baby bump and updates with her followers since announcing she was expecting a baby girl in May.
Earlier in her pregnancy Hawkins revealed she had experienced “all day nausea”, and more recently she shared pictures of her and Wall’s babymoon.
The couple first met in 2003, just months before she went on to win the famed Miss Universe beauty pageant.
Wall proposed to Hawkins in December 2011, presenting her with a $200,000, custom-made Nic Cerrone diamond ring.
They couple tied the knot in June 2013 after eight years together in a romantic, star-studded ceremony in Bali.
