Danielle told OK! 'Michael really liked Rosie and I really liked Autumn. I liked both, but then people kept on sending me pictures of dogs called Rosie and I was like, "Oh no, is this a sign?"

'I just thought, the season is Autumn, she's dark and tanned, she's just so gorgeous she looks like an Autumn. And then we've got Rose in there also after Michael's nan.

'I know it's different from the boys and not a traditional name, but it just suited her. There were so many people trying to get their two pence in, but I was like, "We have to actually just decide ourselves, Michael. Otherwise we're going to keep going around in circles".'

Ahead of going into labour, Danielle revealed she was being monitored by doctors after noticing her baby had 'gone quiet.' 

She wrote in OK! Magazine: 'They asked me about the movements of the baby but she was quite quiet during the week so I was a bit worried. 

'So, I was monitored in the evening and they asked me to come back the following morning.

'The kids were stressing out because they only thought I was going in for a Covid test. It all seems fine though. It's better to be safe than sorry.'

Danielle announced back in May that she was pregnant with her fifth child, telling Closer: 'I can't wait to become a family of seven. I know there's a risk it'll be another boy though...

'But, of course, the main thing I want is for the baby to be healthy. And if it's not a girl – we'll just try again after!'

What is the Babydust method? 

The Babydust Method is a book published by Kathryn Taylor, which uses ovulation predictor kits to help couples conceive their preferred gender of child.

The method works by asking women to chart their luteinising hormone twice per day and using ovulation predictor kits for three months to recognise the patterns in their cycle.

The hormone typically surges at around day 14 in the menstrual cycle and ovulation, with tests indicating when a women is scheduled to ovulate. 

Couples hoping to have a girl should have intercourse two or three days before ovulation, and no other time throughout the cycle.

Those hoping for a boy should have sex 24 hours after their first darkest test, which indicates ovulation will take place 24 hours later, and again after 24 hours.
