Margot Robbie enjoying 'downtime' before giving birth

Margot Robbie has been enjoying some 'downtime' in Los Angeles before the arrival of her first child

Margot Robbie is enjoying some "downtime" in Los Angeles as she prepares to welcome her first child into the world.

The 'Barbie' actress, 34, is pregnant with her and husband Tom Ackerley's baby and although she likes to keep "busy" with her work, she has been taking some time out before the little one arrives.

An insider told PEOPLE: "Margot absolutely can't wait.

“She looks amazing.

“She's usually one of the hardest working actresses in Hollywood. She seems to enjoy some downtime from filming now though.”

It was reported in July that Margot and Tom, also 34 - who produce blockbusters together under their LuckyChap Entertainment banner - were expecting their first child.

Margot was photographed with an obvious baby bump while boarding a boat during a holiday to Lake Como.

She had kept the news to herself while filming ' A Big Bold Beautiful Journey' alongside Colin Farrell, in a bid to remain "professional" throughout the process.

A source told the outlet at the time: "She was super professional and focused while filming. She had long days, but it didn't seem like a big deal to her. No one suspected that she was pregnant. Margot] looked amazing and seemed very happy. She got along with Colin, and they had fun filming."

The couple first met in Belgium in 2013 when they were working on war drama 'Suite Française' together and they went on to marry three years later in 2016.

At the time, she admitted she wanted a "tons of kids" eventually, but felt "angry" at the assumption that children would come along immediately after marriage.

She told The Times newspaper: "It made me really angry.

"How dare some old guy dictate what I can and can’t do when it comes to motherhood or my own body? Unfortunately, it’s a conversation we’re still having.

"I got married, and the first question in almost every interview is, ‘Babies? When are you having one?’ I’m so angry that there’s this social contract.

"You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do."
