On her Oh Baby podcast, Shaughna talked more about her struggle with body image after having a baby, confessing that the changes in her body have stopped her from wearing certain clothes.The reality TV star welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Lucia, with her ex partner Billy in April this year. "I don't look like myself," she admitted to co-host Holly J Connolly and guest star, psychotherapist Anna Mathur. "I can't dress the way I want to dress because my body's not the way it used to be." Shaughna shared that she's struggling with adjusting to a "new body" and finding "no time" to get into a healthier state.

She also mentioned the added pressure of doing this while being watched by millions online. "I'm really trying now, but I have the added pressure of having to do that in the public eye," she said. "And just this morning I had people going, I think you really need to lose the weight now." Despite receiving negative comments, Shaughna is determined not to let them affect her. "I can't tell you how much they do not bother me.
