The 25-year-old gold medallist is due to give birth in June. She married her husband, fellow swimmer Harry Needs, three months ago at a ceremony at Staffordshire. The couple have said they are planning a water-birth. Rebecca said: “A few friends have recommended it. I would like the birth to be as natural as possible, but you can’t really plan it, can you?” She added that her first scan showed the baby was developing normally. “Thank goodness everything is OK,” she said. “It was such a relief to see the heartbeat. “I think you feel such a responsibility as the woman because you are the one looking after the baby. “So Harry was more excited, but I was more nervous.”
