However she revealed on social media this morning that she's hoping her new arrival will wait until tomorrow, to avoid having to burden her child with a Patrick's Day-appropriate name.
The star married her long-term partner Lau Zamparelli last summer and the couple announced back in September that they were expecting.
Although it's been a long wait, Jennifer took to Twitter this morning to beg the little one to "stay up there" for another 24 hours:
Baby if you could just stay up there another 24 hours please that would be great!! Paddy Zamparelli just doesn't sound right?!! #tobesure

Even if her new arrival does decide to make his or her entrance today, we're sure Jennifer will be thrilled, as she admitted she's tired of waiting. "I want to have it as soon as possible. Please, because I'm tired of telling everyone, 'nope, not yet'", she told the Irish Independent earlier this week.
Jennifer also revealed that she's keen to get back to work as soon as she feels up to it after the birth. "I suppose I worked right up to my due date because I felt great... And, let's be honest, sitting on my arse doing a radio show is hardly work," she said.
"I'm not picking stones or on my feet for hours. I'll be off for around ten to twelve weeks depending."
Speaking about her decision to have an natural birth, the presenter said she wants thing to be as calm and simple as possible, and so she has been using hypnobirthing techniques in the run up to giving birth.
"The whole ethos and concept of it is that if the mother is completely relaxed and has no fear, then her body will not tense up, making it less painful and an all-round better experience. It shouldn't be a medical procedure," she said. "It's the most natural thing in the world as [The Snapper's] Georgie Burgess says."
We'll be thinking of Jennifer today and waiting for her big news!
