Pregnant Shaughna Phillips rushed to hospital after ‘baby stops moving’
SHAUGHNA Phillips has told of the terrifying moment she was rushed to hospital after her unborn ‘baby stopped moving.’
The 28-year-old revealed she will give birth in a matter of days following speculation she’d already welcomed her first child.
Shaughna shared the news that she was expecting her first child back in October.
However she experienced a terrifying moment when she could not feel her baby move.
She told OK!: “A few weeks ago, I went to the hospital because I thought I had reduced movements in my belly – which turned out to be ok – but as I was 38 weeks pregnant, the doctor told me they would induce me.”
She added: “It massively made me panic and I told them I didn’t feel ready to give birth, but they kept me overnight and put me in a post-natal ward where babies had already been born.
“I felt like I was being pushed into getting an induction when I wasn’t ready, so I had a really bad night, and especially being on a ward full of women that have just given birth and I was on my own, it was traumatising.
“Thankfully another doctor came the next day and told me I had other options, but now I am definitely ready for the baby to come.”
Shaughna has had a tough time of late after she urged fans not to mum-shame her or share their pregnancy horror stories ahead of her induction at the weekend.
She wrote on Instagram: “A polite request. Please refrain from sending me your horror stories of being induced or your opinions on why me being induced is wrong for my baby.
“I appreciate you may mean well, but it is not helpful. As a first time mum, you will know the anxiety I’m feeling, and the last thing I need to hear is horrible experiences or being mum shamed.
“Thanks you for all the lovely messages I’ve received, they far outweigh the negative ones.”
Shaughna has had to change her birthing plan now that she’s four days past her due date.
Taking to her Instagram story, the mum-to-be said: “Induction booked for Sunday.
“My March babe clearly wants to be an April babe like their mama.”
Earlier this week she told her fans she was in great discomfort.
She said: “Sorry for being so quiet. I feel like I’m running on 0.1% energy. Everything hurts.”
The reality star has had a stressful few months after her unborn child’s father, Billy Webb, 29, was arrested in January and charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.
It’s unclear whether or not Shaughna and Billy are still together following his arrest.
