The reality TV star is already mum to five-year-old Sunday Skye McCann, her daughter with ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of carrying out an acid attack in 2017.
She met her businessman partner Haines a couple of years ago, and got engaged back in July 2022, saying she had ‘manifested this wonderful man’ into her life.
After reports surfaced in January that the two were expecting, McCann confirmed she was pregnant in March, telling fans: “We are having a baby. We have been bursting at the seams with happiness and so excited to officially share our lovely news with you."
Over the past few months, she’s been sharing various updates about her pregnancy with followers, having now taken to Instagram to say she’s been experiencing some pain – and that she now feels more than ready to pop.
In an Instagram Story, McCann said: "Okay, so here is a little update with where I'm at with my pregnancy.
"My pelvic bone is really sore. I didn't experience this with Sunday. So Sophie, my lovely hypno-birthing instructor has said, 'Just pretend you're a mermaid.'
"Not the big hip rolls on the birth ball anymore, just do little tiny ones and when you get out of the car - even though it isn't third trimester, with your big bump getting out of the car, just so, so difficult - so little tiny movements.
"I had a midwife appointment this morning and all was really normal and pretty straightforward, however, I feel like I'm a week out.
"I've just got this gut feeling that I'm a week behind, does that even make sense?
"I come a week early with Sunday and I just don't feel like that's gonna happen with this baby, I feel like I'm gonna go full term but who knows.
"I've forgotten about that feeling where you just come into labour. I can’t wait for that moment. I want it to be tonight... no, it needs to fully cook, be patient.
"But can I take being pregnant in this heat any longer? Lorri has ordered every single cooling gadget there is on the internet."
