With a new baby on the way there will soon be precious little time to sit and simply admire the view. But for now Jessica Alba is making the most of her last few months of pregnancy, enjoying a belated birthday holiday to Mexico with her girlfriends. The actress gave fans a glimpse of her bump as she sunbathed in a white bikini, teamed with a straw hat and sarong.

Jessica sat with two friends as they watched her two-year-old daughter Honor play on the sand. The 30-year-old's friend Jaime King tweeted a picture of Jessica enjoying her birthday cake, all lit up with candles. 'So grateful 2 celebrate the birthday of friend&sis jessicaalba could she b ANY MORE BEAUTIFUL!' she wrote. Jessica was ill during her actual birthday in April, but now appears to be feeling much better.
She even teased her other friends including Nicole Richie, tweeting a photo of herself at the resort. Jessica is married to film producer Cash Warren, 32 , but her birthday trip was girls only. She announced her second pregnancy in February this year and has waxed lyrical about being a mother. She told Vogue it makes her feel 'liberated, less concerned with how she looks' and that it's 'taught her to adapt to any situation.'
