..and no painkillers or anesthesia. Oh, and the baby can't be "poked and prodded" for 7 days. This is absurd. I believe that if people want to do odd things when they give birth, that's fine. The whole giving birth in a tub thing, no drugs, epidural, whatever. But making a statement that the child can't be examined for 7 days is just wrong. If the baby isn't born healthy or if there are complications, what then? Do they still wait for 7 days before getting medical care? Wouldn't that constitute child endangerment, which is a punishable offense?
Did you catch the part about not speaking to the baby for 7 days? So no cooing or singing to the child for 7 days. Scientologists claim they are concerned about the psychological impact on a baby if it hears its mother screaming as it is born. But they are okay with no verbal interaction as soon as it born? Not even when it needs to be consoled? I would think total silence (except for their own cry) would be more psychologically damaging.
I wonder if Katie will adhere to this, especially while she is alone with the baby, nursing. I've heard that she was a good Catholic girl before getting involved in the wacky Scientology group. If she has any strength of character left, she will defy the silence rule and sing and coo away to her new bundle of joy.

A friend of Becky's had her baby underwater a couple of weeks ago. This is the same women who won't get in Lake Lanier because of the contaminants. She's a fruitcake. Have a great weekend!
