Shout Out

So, apparently Katie Holmes, as goes the Scientology practice, is going to have to remain silent during the birth of her and Cruise's child. WHAT???? I repeat, WHAT????

"The couple — following the Scientology tradition of a silent birth — had the posters delivered to their Beverly Hills mansion. The 6ft placards will be placed so Katie can see them in labour. One reads: “Be silent and make all physical movements slow and understandable.‚” Story Here

From what little I can understand, this may have something to do with the idea of "impressions" scientologists believe we have on us. I guess they don't think it is such the good thing for a mom to be screamin' like a banshee when her baby boy/girl comes into the world.

All I can think to say now is, Absolutely Amazing.

There is NO WAY she gets through it without screaming. Anyone who has seen labour will tell you that. My wife had both our boys naturally without painkillers like katie is planning. lets just say if the baby is lying posterior she will be SCREAMING! Otherwise she will also be screaming but she sould be able to keep under control enough that her vocalcords stay intact.
