To report my (pregnant) nightmare neighbour?

I have a next door neighbour who is known for her loud parties, constant arguing with boyfriends etc. This morning 6am-9am she and her boyfriend were screaming at each other, him calling her a slut, bitch etc and also screaming that she's happy when she's snorting his coke! She ended up smashing his windscreen and he drove off. Few hours later the police appeared. This has happened a few times with the police knocking my door asking if we heard anything etc but no official statements have ever been made. A couple of other neighbours knocked and asked what I had heard as they are wanting to get some people to call housing association to make a complaint in an attempt to get her kicked out- she has numerous complaints against her already and is on her last chance. However she is six months pregnant and I don't know how I feel about making her homeless pregnant or with a baby. I know she is doing drugs- not sure how truthful the cocaine is but she definitely smokes weed as I have smelt it- and she has a 13 year old who has lived with her mum since before Christmas so I assume social services would be involved anyway as police would have had to tell them about all of the domestics. Sorry I am rambling I am just not sure what to do as I know three other people will be reporting her tomorrow and I don't want my phone call to mean she loses a home for a baby. CI live next door with a 3 year old and 4 month old.

No don't just report to the housing people you need to get onto Social Services asap there are vulnerable children at massive risk. Please please do this now.

Report to social services. Never assume someone else has. Why would you not? It’s not up to you to decide what might or might not happen, often it’s like a jigsaw with enough people reporting and putting the pieces together. Stop worrying about her being homeless, think about the huge safeguarding issues and the children.

Your priority should be that unborn baby. From what you have said, there are lots of red flags here, and that baby isn't safe.
Please don't try to skim over that and bring people back to your original post.

I called the housing association who said there's nothing they can do, they will just work with local authorities to try and resolve the issue. I also logged a 'concern about a child' to social services- but obviously they couldn't tell me if she was already known to them or anything. Yet another policeman knocked this morning to ask my partner to make a formal statement about what we heard and he saw as she is pressing charges against the boyfriend for assault. Hoping she won't have him back again now like in the past!

Well done, OP, you've done the right thing. xx

I’d report her to the housing association but to be honest possible social services as well.

Imagine a child being raised in that environment and if she does drugs while pregnant I doubt she’d hesitate to do them while in charge or her newborn
