In the latest issue of the U.K. version of OK! magazine, singer Charlotte Church, 21, and rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson, 25, introduce their newborn daughter, Ruby Megan, now 2 weeks.
Gavin and Charlotte, who planned (and succeeded in having) a home water birth, describe her labor and delivery, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, how they chose their daughter’s name, baby weight, parenting thus far, and more.

Charlotte Church, 21, and her rugby player boyfriend, Gavin Henson, 25, are expecting their first child next week and the couple has apparently received over $60,000 worth of free baby items from various companies. It is reported that six prams, clothing, a cot, toys and more have been delivered to Charlotte.
However, the Welsh pop singer reportedly plans to auction off the extra items on Ebay and to place the money raised in a trust for her soon to be born child.
Sarah’s note: We urge you to take this with a grain of salt however — Charlotte has not discussed her pregnancy in public except to announce it, and The Sun is a known tabloid.

Charlotte Church won’t be in any hurry to hit the gym after her baby is born, according to Charlotte’s mother. Her mother, Maria, 42, says that Charlotte’s priority will be spending time with the new baby rather than working out.
Maria reportedly explained to Reveal magazine,
Charl isn’t into the celebrity gym thing at all. Celebrities who have babies seem to be stick thin again within weeks – they must spend every waking hour in the gym.
She’s determined to get the weight off but she’ll do it gradually. It usually takes most women six months to a year and that is the goal she has set herself.
Being with her new baby is far more important to Charl than some silly workout.

Did you have specific weight loss plans in mind for after your baby was born?
It is being reported that singer Charlotte Church, 21, is due in 6 weeks. Charlotte’s mother Maria, 42, apparently let the news slip while she was out with her sister, Caroline, last week. A source from The Golden Cross, where the two were last Wednesday, said when asked of her daughter’s impending due date, Maria said,
In six weeks time. Charlotte was with the midwife on Tuesday and everything is fine.
This works out to the third week of September — perfectly in line with the September due date previously mentioned, just slightly more specific.
Caroline added that Maria doesn’t want to be called ‘Grandma’,
She wants to be known as nanny. Maria has even been knitting booties.
This will be the first child for Charlotte and her boyfriend, rugby player Gavin Henson, 25.
