The 26-year-old actress - who was accompanied by Laurence, 29, at the hospital - recently revealed she was feeling nervous about the birth, and had become obsessed with having scans.She said: "Some women are all about this glowing, blooming thing, aren't they? I haven't really tapped into that. I've basically replaced all my vices for a new one - control."I've had about 10 scans and I bought one of those baby heart monitor things. Such a bad idea - it's like listening to a huge shell on the beach. But I do love it. The whole thing is just so sweet, tender and adorable."Billie recently revealed she has no intention of raising a child in the US, despite the success of her TV show 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl' in the country.
