One fan asked: 'Will Billy be home in time for the birth?'
Pregnant Shaughna replied: 'Yes! We definitely wouldn't have tried for this baby if he wasn't going to be here.
'I'm so intrigued to see how he's going to be at the birth because he is not good with blood AT ALL.
'So I feel like watching him react will take my mind off of what is happening.'
Shaughna also shared her due date with fans, adding "Technically I'm due in November, but will likely be having a planned c-section so more than likely the baby will be here in October."
Shaughna and Billy are already parents to two-year-old daughter Lucia.
The Sun recently revealed how Shaughna and Billy managed to try for a baby despite his sentence.
An insider said: '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.'
Category D prisons - also known as open prisons - have minimal security and "low risk" inmates are allowed to leave the site to work, "resettle" or attend education during the day.
In November .
'The best couple of days, this Christmas is going to be so special.'

Through It All Together review – Leeds United drama tackles big themes
Leeds United fan and playwright Chris O'Connor is clearly Shankly-ian in his belief that football is more important than life or death. He lays out his argument in Through It All Together, which is at once a paean to his football club, a contention that fandom is a glue that binds with more ferocity than a Norman Hunter tackle, and an appeal for the deification of the manager who led Leeds back into the Premier League in 2020. Where Liverpool had Bill Shankly – recently given his own moment in the stage spotlight in the moving and epic Red or Dead – the Whites had Marcelo Bielsa, or El Loco as O'Connor reminds us, the nickname with which the Argentinian arrived at Elland Road. If there were any doubt as to the regard in which fans like O'Connor hold the manager, a stained glass window bearing the image of Bielsa rises above the stage of Amanda Stoodley's set. At the heart of Through It All Together are long-time married couple and Leeds season ticket holders Howard and Sue, played by Reece Dinsdale and Shobna Gulati. Howard is just about living with dementia, wife Sue is coping with it admirably, while daughter Hazel is either in denial or overcompensating when it comes to her dad's condition. The trials of having the condition, or living with a family member with it, are intertwined with the season before and the season during which Bielsa's Leeds United secured promotion – one which was plagued by Covid and lockdown. But the play never lands firmly on either story. Howard's dementia doesn't progress to its usual conclusion, leaving Dinsdale, a fine actor, with a curtailed journey, while Bielsa's two-season odyssey back to the Premier League is told in snippets that the Leeds faithful in the audience clearly loved, but the uninitiated will find have the depth of a highlight reel. Everal A Walsh and Dean Smith, in roles from podcasters to fans in the pub to club higher-ups, are uniformly hilarious in the very amusingly sketched scenes in which they appear. The play, like the club, will have its fans, but will mean most to those who are already marching on together. At Leeds Playhouse until 19 July

The BBC's broadcast of Glastonbury hate chanting is nothing short of criminal
Another week, another utter disgrace for the BBC when it comes to antisemitism and the safety of Britain's Jewish community. This time the setting was Glastonbury. The BBC has been broadcasting live from the festival for many years. It employs hundreds of people to cover the event at significant expense to licence-fee payers. It is meant to have systems in place to ensure that racist, offensive content is not broadcast. So how was it possible on Saturday afternoon that the rap duo Bob Vylan were allowed to broadcast live on the BBC chanting 'death to the IDF' and talking about 'f-ing Zionists'? Why was the live feed not immediately cut? Why did BBC executives allow the racist rant to continue unchecked? The BBC's own editorial guidelines state the following: 'Material that contains hate speech should not be included in output unless it is justified by the context. Broadcasting hate speech can constitute a criminal offence if it is intended or likely to stir up hatred relating to race, or intended to stir up hatred relating to religious belief'. So has the BBC committed a criminal offence in broadcasting this hateful, racist material? The police should investigate, as should the BBC's Board, led by Chairman Samir Shah. How much longer can they tolerate the failings of BBC leadership on antisemitism and bias? Director General Tim Davie and his executives have had more than eighteen months to get a grip and yet this weekend's debacle shows the BBC's problems are getting ever worse not better. It is also time for the government and Ofcom to act. The BBC has repeatedly shown itself unable to get its own house in order on antisemitism, whether that be the racism broadcast live this weekend from Glastonbury, the consistent Jew-hate and bias from reporters on BBC Arabic or the debacle of the Gaza documentary that the corporation was forced to pull because, amongst other things, a payment had been made to the family of a Hamas official. The BBC's editorial failings on antisemitism and anti-Israel bias are now so numerous, so widespread and so consistent that perhaps I should not be surprised. But to see our national broadcaster allow this racist rant to be aired was stomach-churning. Many Jews I have spoken to feel the same: a mixture of shock, disgust, sadness and fear. There is disbelief that the BBC gave a platform to those inciting violence against Jews and gleefully telling racist stories. The BBC has hit a new low. It is, frankly, unforgivable.
