Mother-to-be Charlotte Church has laid down over $60,000 to increase security at her new country mansion before the baby's arrival. The "Voice of an Angel" star is said also to be erecting a massive fence to guarantee privacy at her $1.6 million estate in the Welsh countryside.
A friend said: "She bought the house to get away from the attention so won't feel happy until it is 100% secure."
It's been reported that the 21-year-old Church, who is eight months pregnant with rugby star boyfriend Gavin Henson's child is is planning a water-birth for her first baby. She has purchased a birthing pool after a friend convinced her it is 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."
Church's mother also revealed that the Charlotte 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."
