A Silent Scientologist Birth for TomKitten?
Scientologists Believe Silent Birth Reduces Fear Later in Life

Oct. 13, 2005 — When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes announced they were expecting a child, speculation about the birth started immediately.

The couple practices Scientology, where mothers are encouraged to perform silent birth. That means no yelling or talking during the delivery and doctors are asked to remain quiet as well. It is believed the quiet birth reduces trauma during delivery and therefore prevents irrational fears later in life.
Actress Kelly Preston, wife of John Travolta, delivered her daughter in a silent birth without painkillers and admitted to Redbook magazine that it wasn't easy.

"It got hardcore at the end because she was so big," Preston said. "I changed my mind and said, 'Throw me in the car! I want an epidural!"

2. Been there, mocked that.
:evilgrin:

If Katie wants to submit to push out something the size of a watermelon with no painkillers or noise, then she deserved the pain. Scientology is so silly.
