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!)

Un friggin real

By Katie

This is insane. If they can't test the baby for 7 days, what happens if he needs undetected medical attenion within that period? Not speaking to a baby is not bonding normally...I consider all of this child abuse just as much as the religions that pray instead of seeking a Dr. and the child dies. They say "God must have wanted it back"...yeah, right!This is all irresponsible thinking, to just believe anything you hear or read when you know better...because you think you will get a better place somewhere in the hereafter. What matters is here on earth, if you live it right and follow your heart, you will end up where you belong. I don't believe in organized religion for this reason...there are way too many and they all contradict each other. Pray and be spiritual, it's okay. You don't need to PAY, give tidings, or do anything you know is wrong. Religion is the biggest money making scam on the planet. Again, you don't have to pay to pray!

Silent Birth - No Screaming? - Can you say epidural!

By Linda

Silent births do happen, my daughter delivered without saying a word or screaming. It was in a hospital and done because of who she is and not any churches guidlines.

Scientology couldn't save there son Jet now could they or fix the problems he had. Trust God but God also gave knowledge to Dr's and produce pain medication if needed.

Good Luck John and Kelley

By becki s

of course she won't be screaming-a surrogate is having the baby for her.

By Barbara

Even in the animal world, mothers immediately bond/nuture newborn.

By nicole

Absolutely! I had my first child at 34. Problem birth and they took my baby right away because he was not breathing. I did not get to hold him for a day and I missed that. I did not scream a lot, just moaned but the pain was unbearable. To this day I still miss these first hours. Thanks God we made up for it with lots of love and hugging since then!!! These people are full of it. Babies are a true miracle and should enjoy every minute of it, screaming or not.

By tara

Can they be silent for the rest of their lives? He is the biggest no talent hack since Tom Cruise and she wouldn't be anywhere without being his wife.

By Sheila

I love John, but this is crazy, how do you bond if you can`t talk to your newborn?? I would love to be a fly on the wall when Kelly is getting labor pains!!! good luck to you!!!!

By Allison

Ron L. Hubbard, the man who created this windbag insane cult, was a bad science fiction writer in the 50's and 60's and he wasn't making enough money selling his books, so he and his oldest son created this cult and all members have to give enormous amounts of money to belong to it. Once you get in, you can't get out. They'll make your life a living hell. I'd rather be a mormon than a scientologist!

There is no devil. What religion are you a member of, The Church of the Scared Silly of Imaginative Creatures?

By twiggie

Scientologists are crazy and so are these two nut jobs for following this crap,, someone please protect this baby boy when he arrives

By Rhonda

Hattie,

RAG MAGS???????

By Kenley

Can a 50 year old woman still have a baby? They are just thinking about themselves and not the child. When he's in grade school and other students ask, "Are those your grandparents?"

I'm in awe! I don't think I could ever have the will power or self discipline that Kelly must have in order to stay silent during the birthing process. I'm sure it will be a very special birth with all the family their, including Jet.

By Olivia

That is just plain crazy. I bet the sex wasn't quiet when they were making little Benjamin.lol!!!
Brainwashed weirdos.

By Julie

If she's not allowed to scream, they ought to let her bite down on John's hand instead - that way they can really share the pain.
But please - speak to your precious baby once he's born!
