Rachel Leyman had her first baby with partner Lee Beckinsale, now 23, 10 days after her 16th birthday.

Her youngest, Madison, arrived two weeks ago, joining Felicity, five, Ffion, who will be five on Christmas Eve, Cody, three, and Cerys, one.

"People say I've got a natural touch with them - I love them all to bits," said the Swansea teaching assistant.

The couple have been saving all year for Christmas.

I always said I wasn't going to have children

"We've just finished Christmas shopping now. It has taken a good couple of weeks to get it done. The kids can't wait.

"I always said I wasn't going to have children, but after the first one... it's something I like to do and it's not like I can't handle children."

"I can't blame the contraception for everything - some of it was my fault. We would not change it for the world, though."

Christmas promises to be busy, especially with a birthday on Christmas Eve and she said the children were already "bouncing".

"All kids squabble and bicker but they've got each other, and perhaps children from a smaller family are lonelier."

The young family moved out of Mr Beckinsale's parents' home and into their three-bedroom house five weeks ago.

Ms Leyman wants to return to work at a primary school and Mr Beckinsale as a gas engineer in March.

"We've just moved in and are just getting the children settled in, but we want to go back."

Although they want to get married, the couple are waiting for their youngest bridesmaid to grow a little.

"We are planning on it, but in a couple of years.

"We are going to wait for Madison, so she is old enough to walk down the aisle with a dress on," said Ms Leyman.
