As her September due date fast approaches, Tori Spelling is having some help in getting around during the final month of her pregnancy.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star was spotted whizzing about Los Angeles yesterday on a mobility scooter.

The 39-year-old was joined by her five-year-old son Liam and the pair went to an open air market for the afternoon.

Tori was dressed for the sunny weather and looked ready to pop in her empire line floaty white sundress.

She went make-up free and sported a pair of stylish red-rimmed sunglasses to shield her eyes from the harsh rays of the sun.

It was a sweltering day but that didn’t stop the star from enjoying some family time, although she looked a little tired at moments.

She is pregnant with her fourth child so Tori is well aware that it’s beneficial to enjoy light exercise while expecting.

Which is probably why she made sure to alternate between using the scooter and walking around.

She is not the first celebrity to be spotted on such a device while pregnant and reality star Snooki was seen using one to get around the Jersey Shore back in June.

Tori may have been draped in typical maternity wear today, but the actress recently hit back at critics who claimed she should cover up her pregnancy curves.

Last week she took to her personal website to rant: 'A few months back, I caught a lot of flack on two separate occasions for bearing my baby bump in a bikini and monokini while spending the day poolside with my family.

'I have to say, I'm super proud of my bump. Why should I be embarrassed and cover up something that's the greatest gift a woman can experience? A pregnant woman in any shape or size is beautiful!'
