It will be childbirth au natural for Katie Holmes, the confirmed pregnant fiance of Tom Cruise. Buck up, young Kate, for you shall be given no nitrous oxide, pethidine, or epidural anaesthesia during the ordeal of childbirth, and there will be no medication (only vitamins!) for your post-partum depression. Why not? Because your Scientologist husband-to-be doesn't believe in legal perscription drugs. But then, HE'S NOT HAVING THE BABY!
And furthermore, there will be no wussy womanly screams allowed at any time. Practitioners of Scientology insist on "silent birth" because they believe it's traumatic for babies to hear their mothers groan or cry. Maybe they'll give you a piece of leather to bite down on.
, "Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go," church founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote in his best-selling "Dianetics." Easy for him to say, it was his wife that had those seven kids, one of whom killed himself in 1976.
Cruise's spokesperson and sister, Lee Anne DeVette, told People magazine, "Tom and Katie are very excited, and the entire family is very excited."
I hope that when Kate is 8 months pregnant, raging with hormones, and she decides at three in the morning that she wants to shave her man's head, that he lets her shave his head. It happens. And dealing with a pregnant woman is a mission impossible Tom hasn't dealt with before. (His other kids are adopted.) Good luck, Kate, and load up on those pre-natal vitamins!

Comments
Not to be mean, but I kind of hope that Katie Holmes get post-pardum depression. So, maybe Tom Cruise will get his foot oushed down his throat about mental health problems. Being a mother of two and having depression, his comments were very insensitve and ignorant. So, I can only hope he goes through it right along with all the other affected women and men. Then maybe he can worry about his wife instead of trying to convert someone into a religion about aliens or whatever that is that he believes.

I hope the baby comes into a warm and nurturing enviroment and is not confused between Aliens(Scientology)and God (Catholic/Christianity)
Hopefully Katie will convert Tom to a Catholic.Would'nt that be a blessing for the whole family and the child will not grow up confused.
