You all are sick !!

So. It’s more “normal” for basically a complete stranger to attend the birth of a baby (let’s face it, other than my OB’s name I knew NOTHING about them. Do most of you moms know more than that about your OBs?) than it would be ones own father who loves and cares about you. My father changed my diapers as a baby. He and I share no sexual feelings, no more than my OB and I did when I delivered in a hospital. Whether or not any of this is anyone’s business ANYWAYS, I think it’s great. Better to have someone involved who has MOMs and BABY’s best interests in mind and not the current medical community who are far from that sadly enough. Our infant mortality rates are proof of that despite the vast majority of hospital births in this country, pretty sad; we are ranking in the 30’s right above Cuba and South Korea… Apparently SOME of us have noticed this trend and are concerned. The rest of those who blindly trust the OB community are, as they say, putting their heads in the sand.

I also want to add that (again, if this is even true), for all we know, Keith IS okay with having Nicole’s parents help with the birth.

Missy- First of all, this is just a rumor, so it may not even be true.

Even if it is true, nowhere has it been said that Keith won’t also be assisting with the delivery. There is even a chance that all he’ll want to do is be there to support Nicole and cut the cord.

Is her father a doctor? Atrained mental health specialist doesn’t sound like doctor to me. I only want medical personnel assisting in my delivering and I would prefer them to not be related.

Why is this just about Nicole and Nicole’s wishes? I would think her husband would have a say and WANT to be the one to help deliver the baby. It seems he’s being pushed out. It’s very strange and somewhat disturbing.

This is Nicole’s body, therefore it is Nicole’s choice. There are plenty of women who safely deliver their own babies, or have their husband/significant other deliver the baby at home. Being an obstetrician does not guarantee a good outcome. Birth is risky any way you look at it, and research has shown that home births are the least risky for mom and baby (interventions, germs, etc.).

This is on the latest comment made regarding Nicole not being pregnant, etc. I am suprised that it took this rumor so long to get out there. It was reported months ago that they were adopting and now this. First off, Nicole does have a little bit of a tummy that she has not had before (she has always been almost “too” thin) and second, if this were true, they would not be the first people in the world to do this. We adopted a girl when she was almost 10 (3 years ago) and she is our daughter now in every sense of the word. It takes more than a sperm or egg donation to be a parent.

This is actually a fresh rumor coming from some medical sources that Nicole actually isn’t pregnant but that she and Keith are using sister Antonia as a surrogate or perhaps someone else.

Sadley, I am not a mommy yet but if I ever do have children, I would not want my dad looking at my va-jay-jay while I am giving birth. I know that some women are very comfortable with their father’s watching them while they give birth but I wouldn’t because that is my dad (and I have too much respect for him to blind his eyes like that . I agree with one of the previous commentors: If it is even true that Nicole plans on having her parents birth her baby, considering her age and previous history of failed pregnancies, she seems to be taking a big risk, should something go wrong. Either way though, I’m very happy for her ! Suri Cruise is just the cutest little thing but it’s Nicole’s time to shine!
