She’s stayed pretty tight-lipped on her first pregnancy but now, former Home and Away actress Tessa James has taken to social media to share a sweet new bump pic.
On Wednesday the 26-year-old, who has been enjoying a babymoon in America with her hubby Nate Myles, posted a snap presumably before jumping on a plane home back to Australia.
In the selfie, the star stands clad in a flowing black dress as she strikes a pose in front of the mirror.
Just a hint of her baby bump can been seen under the loose-fitting frock.
“See you soon,” she captioned the photo, alongside a plane and lemon emoji – perhaps hinting of her impending arrival.
Tessa’s agent confirmed the actress was five months pregnant back in August, which would mean she’s set to give birth next month.
Tessa and husband Nate Myles will welcome their first child in December and this is the first photo of her bump that the star has posted on social media.
After overcoming her battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma the couple, who tied the knot in 2011, couldn’t be more excited to become parents.
Tessa was just 23 years old when her life was pulled to a crashing halt.
The beloved star was trying her luck in Hollywood, when she discovered something was seriously wrong.
In September 2014, she discovered a lump above her collarbone, which turned out to be Hodgkin’s lymphoma – a cancer that affects the blood.
This was the second time cancer had hit the James’ family, after her dad had been diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma just two years prior.

The star can’t wait to become a mum!
Incredibly, after six months of chemotherapy, Tessa made it out the other side.
“I got through it because I had to get through it,” she told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“What was the other option? To sit and feel sorry for myself? I think I had to hit that low point, to be in so much pain and so upset and so traumatised, to then have that sense of empowerment again: I can get through this.”
The footy player praised Tessa’s strength during a chat with The Sunday Telegraph, describing her health scare as “sickening” before adding: “It was not cool what anyone has to go through because of that.”
