After a friend told her how great it is to give birth under water, Charlotte Church purchased the birthing pool herself.
Charlotte Church is planning a water birth. The 21-year-old chat show host - who is eight months pregnant with her and rugby star boyfriend Gavin Henson's first child - has purchased a birthing pool after a friend convinced her it was the best way to deliver.
Charlotte's mother Maria revealed: "Her friend had a water birth and told her how great it was, so she's going for it. They are all the rage at the moment and there are a lot of benefits with them too."
Maria also revealed the Welsh singer and 25-year-old Gavin - who have been dating for two years - have decided not to find out the sex of their unborn baby until the big day. She added: "She can't sleep and is tired all the time. But she and Gavin are both so excited now and can't wait to find out if they have a boy or a girl."
Meanwhile, Charlotte has splashed out £30,000 to increase security at her country mansion before the baby's arrival. The 'Voice of an Angel' star is said to be erecting a massive fence to guarantee privacy at her £800,000 estate in the Welsh village of St. Brides Major, near Cardiff, which is located close to a busy public footpath.
One friend said: "She bought the house to get away from the attention so won't feel happy until it is 100 per cent secure."
