Travolta and Preston Gearing Up for 'Silent Birth'

By Rob Shuter Posted Nov 15th 2010 09:26PM

While John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston await the arrival of their new son Benjamin, one thing is already a known fact -- when the little boy does arrive, Scientology will play a major role. John flew back to the USA from Australia on Sunday to make preparations for their new arrival, which will include a controversial "silent" Scientology birth.

"The couple will follow the church's guidelines during delivery," a family insider tells me. "No music, no talking and no screaming will be allowed during the pains of labor. Also their new son cannot be prodded for medical tests or spoken to for the first seven days of his life. You don't want to do anything that will haunt them for the rest of their lives."

Preston told Redbook magazine a few years ago that she tried to follow the church's guidelines during the birth of daughter Ella Bleu, but after 13 long hours of labor, she told her husband, "Throw me in the car. I want an epidural!" However, due to traffic, there was not enough time to get Kelly to the hospital.

"This time around, Kelly is determined to follow her church's guidelines," an insider tells me. "Everyone who will be present at the birth has been given clear instructions to not make a sound."

For your sake, Kelly, I'm hoping Benjamin will be more eager to meet you and John than Ella was! (Full disclosure: I haven't been silent for 13 hours in my life!)

I bet the men who made the scientology birth rules never gave birth to a baby. Why do women still follow this old crap.

By June

totally agree

By Randy

I'm 72 and agree with you 100 percent. No woman should have to go through pain just because cult which is not a true religion.
Just quit going to any of his movies.

By shirley Heller

Cutie you hit the nail on the head! Imagine.....the baby does not get talked to for the first weeks of life! I cannot believe that so-called educated people can really believe in this crap! It all about CONTROL! I believe everyone has a right on how they worship.....but a baby not hearing its mother at birth.....sorry the reason they have makes NO sense!

By KENNY NASH 777

I think the guy who came up with these rules and John Travolta himself should have a 12 inch dried cactus up their rectum and tell them not to scream...............

I see...so if the baby has a medical problem at birth they wait 7 days? I wish I had this when I was born that way I would be dead...no kidding.

By Cherokee

Scientology is NOT "OLD crap" as you call it. It is new in the field of so called "theology". Only around since the 50s. It is the newest of the socalled "religions" Go back to school before you speak & let everyone know how uneducated you are. By the way, it IS a load of you-know-what. But YOU should inform yourself before you speak stupidly.

My sister gave birth to music, and all of us were telling that beautiful child (and love of my life) how happy we were to see him and that we already instantly loved him forever, all within 7 HOURS of his life. Those rules are EFFIN CRAZY (sorry crazy people) and scientology is just a fantasy cult (but then so are all 'religions'). What if your child didn't live 7 days? How heartbreaking it would be to have never heard the voice of people who loved him/her? Trust me, if there is a god, THAT IS NOT what he/she would want!

By Teri

I have respect for the couple, but I sure thought they would have learned a very hard lesson. Their son's death very well could have been prevented. BTW, we don't get to tell people what is the best way to deal with pain. Whatever gets you through it is the best. Also, some women have easy labor, some have back labor...every situation is different as are pain responses/tolerance.

By Jackie Butler

I find it almost cruel that all through gestation the baby has heard voices-most particularly Mommy's-and then after the trauma of being squeezed into the world, these people don't even allow the child the soothing sound of Mommy's voice for the first seven days of it's life? What is that supposed to do for the kid but mind bend him or her?

By Laurie A Downing

There is NO WAY I COULD BE QUIET. I wasn't quiet for both of my boys birth, until they upped the pain medication, and I reuse to be quiet if I am in pain, I WILL SCREAM.
