Pregnant Shaughna Phillips admits she has found the pre-birth decisions ‘a lot to take in’
Pregnant Shaughna Phillips has admitted that she finds pre-birth decisions “a lot to take in” and has made her “question all my life decisions.”
The former Love Island star, 28, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Billy Webb, who was recently charged with drug offenses, and now faces the prospect of giving birth alone in a matter of weeks.
And now she’s admitted that the pressure of becoming a mother so soon is “terrifying” as she prepares everything for her due date.
Writing in her column with OK! Magazine, the TV personality explained that she went to her midwife who recommended a dose of vitamin K for the baby after it was born, either by injection or orally six hours after birth.
“It’s a lot to take in,” Shaughna said. ‘It was not meThey asked if I had any questions, and I said, “Yes. I question all my life decisions so far.” S**t has become very real now.’

Shaughna went on to detail that she will have to be induced if she doesn’t have the baby before April 1.
She said, “To think that next month I will actually be someone’s mother and that there will be a little human being in the world who depends on me for everything is pretty scary. I still feel like I’m doing my GCSEs at school!
“I know I’m an adult and almost 30, but I can’t believe I’m being given the responsibility of taking care of a baby. It’s terrifying.’
Shaughna has had a rough time during her pregnancy after her boyfriend Billy, 29, was charged with drug offences.
Billy could face up to 16 years in prison if found guilty after police arrested the broker in a drug raid last month.
The Sun reported that police reportedly recovered cocaine and MDMA before a follow-up search at a nearby address revealed a larger quantity of illegal substances.
Billy was subsequently charged with one count of possession with intent to supply a class A drug and one count of being involved in the supply of controlled drugs.

Earlier this month, Shaughna broke her silence after Billy was charged with drug offenses.
She said OK! Magazine: ‘After a few challenging weeks, the baby’s father is obviously not there.
“But my main focus has always been to prepare for labor and try to be as calm as possible. I’m good at just saying, “Okay, the show has to go on.”‘
She added: “Billy’s not here but I wouldn’t say I’m going it alone because I’m definitely not – my family is incredible.
‘It will be different, but I don’t want to say it’s going badly.’
Shaughna – who has kept her boyfriend off social media to protect his privacy – stated last month that she had “absolutely no knowledge of any activity related to the allegations against Billy.”
Last week, Shaughna stepped out to catch a train in South East London just days after her lavish Range Rover was stolen.

Shaughna took to her Instagram Stories to ask followers for their help in finding her lavish £46,000 vehicle.
She wrote: ‘My car was stolen from my mum early this morning in Eltham. Gray Range Rover Velar KM19 JVE.’
“If anyone sees it, please let me know,” she added in her plea for help.
Shaughna bought her ‘dream’ car in November 2020 and shared a photo of herself posing next to the streamlined vehicle to celebrate her purchase at the time.
