Shaughna, 28, said the uncomfortable symptoms have forced her to wake up at various times during the night.
The mum-to-be begged her fans for help, saying it “hurts like hell”.
Looking glum, Shaughna shared a photo from her bed and wrote: “Part of the 5am club this morning.
“My hips don’t lie but they do hurt like hell.
“How am I supposed to sleep for the next 12 weeks please? Send help.”
Shaughna’s hip pain comes after she told fans that she’d been rushed to hospital over a “worrying pain in her stomach”.
Posting a photo of a heart-rate monitor, she told fans that she had a pain “for the last few days” that left her concerned.
“Came to the hospital this morning because I’ve been having a strange pain in my belly for the last few days that was worrying me,” Shaughna told her followers.
“Baby is happy and chilling but I’ve got an infection that needs treating.
“I always get scared that I’m wasting the hospital’s time or that what I’m feeling might just be normal when your body is growing a baby, but I’m glad I listened to my instinct.”
Shaughna is currently expecting her first baby with her mystery boyfriend Billy, who has never been shown on her social media.
The star revealed her pregnancy by posting to Instagram with a video of her ultrasound – and has kept fans guessing over the gender and name of the child.
While many were certain she would opt to name her baby after her late dad Edward, she has now confirmed otherwise.
The star revealed the heartbreaking reason why she planned to not name her baby after her late dad.
She said: “My dad’s actual name is Edward but everyone called him Eddie, and I just don’t know how OK I would be with saying my dad’s name every day.”
Taking to her Instagram stories, the star revealed her name choices as part of a tell-all fan Q&A.
“Do you have baby’s name sorted already?” one fan asked, to which Shaughna replied: “Baby will be named after his dad if it’s a boy, so it will be Billy.
“We’re keeping the girl’s name a secret but it’s not a sentimental name, just a name we both love.”
