Now, Shaughna has opened up about the difficulties in the first few weeks of her pregnancy in a series of ‘diaries’ shared to Instagram on Friday 

In the video, Shaughna said: ‘I’ve got an early scan booked for the 24th of March. I’ll be about seven weeks then, which is still like two weeks away.

‘I don’t understand how I’m gonna survive until then, because I just need to know everything’s okay.

‘I have health anxiety, I had crippling postpartum anxiety, which I now think is kind of morphed into health anxiety.

‘So this pregnancy I’ve been a very anxious wreck.

‘I’ve been really quiet on my socials, because I just feel like I have nothing else going on in my life, apart from me trying to remain okay, because I just wanna know everything’s okay.’

Shaughna also detailed the early days of her pregnancy and admitted she was ‘very lucky’ to have fallen pregnant after her first attempts to conceive with Billy.

‘I’ve known literally from like, the hour of conception, mainly because I was trying to conceive,’ she went on.

‘It was literally the first attempt at trying to conceive, and it worked, and I’m very, very blessed, very lucky. March the 11th? 12th?

‘I’m due, I believe early November-ish, and I’m planning on doing a pregnancy diaries.

‘I feel like it’s weird with the second one, because with the first one, you don’t know how much you love your child. Like you know obviously that you’re gonna love your baby, whereas with the second one, you know exactly what to expect. You know the love.

‘And then you also have the added effect of how on earth am I going to love this child as much as I love Lucia? And I know it comes and I’m not worried about it coming, but just right now I just can’t fathom it.

‘Have I ruined her life, Lucia’s life? Or will she never remember a time when it was just me and her? 

‘Obviously I will, and it’s been the greatest two years of my life, but she will never remember it, and is that gonna be sad for her? Like, I remember being an only child. It was great.’

‘I felt like I was nauseous the day I found out, but I feel like it’s, not placebo effects, but it was only because I was aware that I was pregnant, and then started thinking, ”oh, I’ve got morning sickness… cramps…” but yeah.

In the Instagram caption, Shaughna continued: ‘I’ve been making these videos ever since I found out I was pregnant, so weird watching them back now!

‘I also can’t believe I thought it was dragging in the beginning, now it feels like someone is constantly pressing the fast forward button, and if someone could just press pause for a minute that would be fab!

‘Anyway welcome to the pregnancy diaries!’

Then, she added, ‘P.s have I mentioned how much I love my lips these days?!’ referring to her recent decision to dissolve her lip fillers.

Following the birth of Lucia in April 2023, Billy, 29, was sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000.

Due to being in a Category D prison, Billy has been allowed home visits for ‘a few days’ each month – and Shaughna revealed how she planned her pregnancy under the circumstances.

‘It was the first time that my ovulation window coincided with Billy being home,’ Shaughna told The Mirror.

‘I was like, ”You know what? Why not? Let’s just see” – and literally, the next day, I said to Billy, ‘I think I’m pregnant’.’

She went on to hint that Billy is set for early release and will be here for the birth.

She said: ‘I know the date that he’s due to be home, but I’m not saying it just because anything could happen – but hopefully he will be fully home before my baby is due.’

An insider added: ‘Billy has been in a Category D prison, which means he has been able to spend a fair bit of time with Shaughna.

‘He even managed to be home over Christmas, which meant a lot to her and, of course, Lucia. He hasn’t been released as many people thought, but he has a lot of privileges.’

In Category D prisons, inmates have minimal security and those deemed ‘low risk’ inmates are allowed to leave the site to work, ‘resettle’ or attend education during the day.
