Seems consistent with its series and plots

f[c_, x_] := -Log[x^2] - Sqrt[Pi]*
     MeijerG[{{0}, {}}, {{0, 0}, {1/2}}, x^2/(4*c)];

Limit[f[c, x], x -> 0]

Log[1/c] + 2*EulerGamma

Series[f[c, x], {x, 0, 1}] // Normal //

  FullSimplify[#, Element[{c, x}, Reals]] &

Piecewise[{{Log[1/c] + 2*EulerGamma, c != 0 && x >= 0}},
    Log[1/c] - 2*I*Pi + 2*EulerGamma]

func = Table[f[c, x], {c, 1/2, 3/2, 1/2}];

Plot[Tooltip[func], {x, 0, 1},
  Epilog -> {Red, AbsolutePointSize[4],
    Point[Table[{0, Log[1/c] + 2*EulerGamma},
      {c, 1/2, 3/2, 1/2}]]},
  Frame -> True, Axes -> False]
