So Katie Holmes is about to pop. And there has been a lot of activity outside of Tom Cruise’s home. Tom is having signs brought in to be placed around the house in case Katie gets a wild hair up her butt, and decides to scream during labor.

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Tom Cruise wants Katie Holmes to have a “Silent Birth.” Scientologists have guidelines during delivery, which includes no music and no talking during the birth, and no screaming during the pains of labor.

The doctrine also states that newborns cannot be poked or prodded for medical tests or even spoken to for the first seven days of their lives, believing that babies go through so much pain during the birth, they shouldn’t have to experience any further discomfort or sensory experience that could return later in life to haunt them.

Fellow Scientologist Scientologist Kelly Preston told Redbook magazine she tried to follow the church’s guidelines during the birth of her daughter Ella Bleu, but after 13 hours of at home labor, she changed her mind saying, “It got hard core at the end because she was so big” and eventually told husband John Travolta to “Throw me in the car. I want an epidural!” Unfortunately for her, she got stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital - and wasn’t able to get to the hospital in time for the painkiller. Hahaha!!! That’ll teach you!

This is just unbelievable to me. I really want to see a woman who is totally silent during labor. And they’re putting up signs all over the house reminding her to “be silent and make all physical movements slow and understandable.” She needs freaking cue cards!!!
