In the picture's caption, Coco detailed the moments before she gave birth, citing Chanel's original due date as December 17 verses the day she arrived, November 28.

'I can't believe @babychanelnicole came 3 weeks ago already( 11/28)...The pic on the left was me at 37 weeks..I took that pic right before I went to the hospital to have her,' she wrote.

Coco went on to reveal that she took the photo because she wanted the moment to be special as she believes babies 'feed off your energy.' 

'I will soon tell my whole labor experience on my baby blog when I have some downtime (www.theCocoBlog.com),' she finished.
