Cruise: Katie Can Use Painkillers During Birth
It seems Tom Cruise may have forgotten one important factor for Katie birth plan, it’s the mother! His pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes is said to have been less than happy with his wish for a drug-free and scream-free delivery, as prescribed by his Scientology faith. Asked what Miss Holmes could have during the birth, he told US chat show host Diane Sawyer: “Whatever the woman wants. I’m not gonna tell Kate … you know, if she needs an epidural, she’s gonna get her epidural.
“And there’s this whole thing that if she needs medicine, she needs medicine.”
He explained the idea behind a silent birth. “It’s basically just respecting the mother and helping to be quiet. Not the mother. “The mother makes as much noise … and people … you know, she’s going through it. She does what she’s gotta do. OK?”
Cruise has made no secret of his scepticism about conventional medicine. He told GQ magazine: “I’ve always found the, ‘If it makes me feel better, it’s OK’ rationale a little suspect.”
In the past he has criticised antidepressants, questioning Brooke Shields’s revelation that she took them to help her get over post-natal depression.
Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard devised a manual for giving birth called the ‘Bradley’ method. Its edicts include a natural delivery with no painkillers, the father acting as a birth coach and no shouting and screaming because birth is already traumatic for the baby.
