Thank goodness for Kelly Preston. As the man in the household regarding Scientology matters (when was the last time you heard John Travolta really discuss anything Scientology related), Kelly Preston has shed some light on the whole “silent birth” controversy. You apparently don’t have to be silent during the birth, you just have to sensor yourself from saying anything offensive while giving birth. I’m sure the wholesome Katie Holmes will not have a problem with this.
L. Ron Hubbard, who believed that the best possible start in life for a new baby is a calm and loving environment free of screaming obscenities, chatty doctors or shouts to “push”.
“A woman who wants her child to have the best possible chance will find a doctor who will agree to keep quiet especially during the delivery, and who will insist upon silence being maintained in the hospital delivery room as far as it is humanly possible,” Hubbard wrote.
Scientologists John Travolta and his actress wife Kelly Preston were among those explaining the method. “Screaming is fine….it’s the words. If you can avoid saying certain phrases and words…Of course you’re going to groan and yell. It hurts. Just keep it to the minimum,” said Preston, mother of two.
“As a mom, I am going through a very painful experience and my child is going through a very traumatic and painful experience. So I didn’t want to say anything that could affect him later in life,” Preston added.
Scientologist believe that all the traumatic experiences and words in life are recorded in the subconscious including a child’s memories of his or her own birth.
Michelle Seward, a Los Angeles financial planner and Scientologist who had a silent birth, told Reuters, “We’re not trying to achieve absolute silence necessarily. And if the mother has to have an epidural, that’s OK.”
Okay, I get it. So long as Katie doesn’t scream “get this fucking thing out of me,” she’ll have achieved a silent birth. Good luck with that.

How could saying curse words and what not affect the baby. Its not like the baby will remember in 5 years. Its not like the baby will say hey mommy remember when you cussed out daddy for putting you through this pain and then you yelled at me for hurting your va-jay-jay. I mean come on thats just retarded. I feel sorry for Katie now.
That’s what happens when men try to tell women what to do with their bodies.
Yeah how is the kid going remember anything coming out of the womb, I dont. And if they think that’s traumatic for him what about all paparazzi following a celebrity family or what comes with being a celebrity later on?? I dont care what anyone says, its a blessing to have a child and women need to be more appreciative. Let your body react however you want to when giving birth…
This child is going to have a lot worse problems than someobody yelling out curse words. LIke having two lunatics in a sham relationship as parents, one being a closeted homosexual brainless cult member, and the other a brainwashed unprincipled loser.
What is this kid going to live in a bubble the rest of his life? Let him hear noise or he will grow up to be a sissy afarid of everything noisy. As far as a man telling what a women should do during childbirth I find that completely idiotic until he has delivered a baby thru his manhole first.
Like babies even UNDERSTAND language. You might as well be saying “rhubarb” over and over. If you scream “get this f**king thing out of me,” they won’t remember and they won’t GET it.
And the kid’s going to hear worse in this little place we call the Real World. Unless Cruise plans to raise it on his own planet, Cruiseworld.
And if Hubbard weren’t dead, I’d suggest killing him for this misogynistic little display. It’s even worse than that pervo Louis XIV, when it comes to a man announcing how a woman should have a baby.
I think you all understimate your children. To think they’re born this dumb little blob is really inconsiderate and ignorant.
