Put her tray by the door. When she meows to go out, put her in the litter box. Do not let her out. She will figure it out. Also, she may prefer a layer of sand or dirt on top for now if that’s what she’s used to.

Might try putting some scat under the litter if she's always gone out. If it smells like a place to poop, she'll be more likely to use the box.

Edit: Just read she's pregnant. Until she's fixed, don't let her out. She can get pregnant even while nursing.

Congratulations to Bella and you!!!! Set up another bedding area that is similar to what she has (as much as is possible) and see if she will move them there on her own. You might even try a couple of different options for her to try. For now, I wouldn't worry about the condition of her current bed, at least not for the first few days.
