White announced her retirement less than a month after winning Euro 2022
England women's record goalscorer Ellen White is expecting her first child in April.
The 33-year-old posted on Twitter a picture of herself and husband Callum Convery, with the caption 'Mum and Dad, April 2023'.
Former Manchester City striker White retired from playing in August after helping England win Euro 2022.
She scored 52 goals for the Lionesses, one short of Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane's record tally for their country.
White, a three-time England women's player of the year, made her international debut against Austria in March 2010 and finished with 113 England caps.

Speaking at a media conference, Lionesses manager Sarina Wiegman said: "It's really great, very nice. I want to congratulate her but I haven't had the time to call her yet. I'm very happy for them, I have just found out today.
"She has been with Callum for a long time so you can expect it but you never know as it's something personal. I don't think she was planning on coming back [for the World Cup] anyway!"
