The 21-year-old singer and TV presenter bought a birthing pool for the delivery, which was attended by two midwives.
Charlotte - once known as the Voice of an Angel - had been determined to give birth at home in her new farmhouse in St Brides Major, Glamorgan, which she moved into last month.

She and boyfriend Gavin Henson, 25, wept tears of joy at the the baby's arrival at 10.30pm on Thursday night, according to reports.
The rugby player was present for the labour - which happened during as Wales vs Japan game - only because he had been left out of the national squad. A friend said: 'Maybe it was a blessing Gavin wasn't picked for Wales in the World Cup.'

It is not yet known what the baby will be called. Charlotte was keen on Ava, but may have reconsidered after fellow singer Myleene Klass chose the name for her baby girl.
A friend said : "I think they will make good parents and this will be good for Charlotte. She is more mature now and her partying days are in the past."
A message posted earlier today by the webmaster of the singer's internet site, www.charlottechurch.com, said: "Gavin has informed us that Charlotte gave birth to a beautiful baby girl at home on Thursday night.
"Gavin was there at the birth. He has told us that mother and baby are doing just fine.
"We have no further details yet, but we expect to be able to bring you an exclusive announcement from the couple some time on Monday.
"I'm sure everyone will agree that this is fantastic news and will want to join us at CC.com in wishing them our very best."
