Jessica Simpson won't give birth until next spring, but she's already planning her postbaby slimdown!

The mom-to-be, 31, is in talks with Weight Watchers for a $4 million deal to shed pregnancy pounds, Us Weekly has exclusively learned.

PHOTOS: Jessica's bump so far

Simpson -- engaged to ex-NFL star Eric Johnson -- had initially intended to sign with the company to lose weight she had gained over the past few years.

"But then she got pregnant," says the source. "So this was the perfect compromise."

Under the contract, Simpson would have one year to use the point-counting program to "lose a signficant amount of weight," says the insider.

She's then show off her results in ads for the company -- much like current spokeswoman Jennifer Hudson.

Despite the deal, Simpson isn't letting her weight gain get her down.  "I'm bigger than I've ever been," she recently told Us. "But I want to show off my bump!"

    Wow Susan....what do you weigh....like 90lbs!! She is not fat. How can you talk crap about someone you do not know personally! You clearly don't have much of a life or much self esteem.

    Well, they better have 24 hr. surveillance on that chick for starters. I think she's one of those unfortunate women who can't drop a lot of the weight. Maybe a chainsaw and a blow-torch might help! Seriously, she should check into that lapband surgery after the baby is born. She's a chubby girl who got fatter.

    sometimes expectant moms can't help the weight they gain while nurturing their unborn child or children so what if Jessica signs on to a weight loss program for help after delivery to lose the actual weight you lose the water weight within a few weeks

    Can't these stars just lose weight for their own well being. Instead they have to make millions off of it..and we all know they don't lose it the way we would being on WW's.

    I like Jessica and I think she looks great no matter what size! Well I don't want her to get to Leann Rimes skinny that is not a good look! I also hope she dose not go to far like Jennifer Hudson did, she said she would never get to skinny and well she is to thin now. But heck if I was offered $4 million by weight watchers and had all my meals paid for a year to do it I would too

    Aww, Jessica Simpson is beautiful no matter how much weight she's gained! I'm sure she's going to be a wonderful mommy no matter what size she is after she delivers, but good for her for wanting to get back in shape!
