Katie screams the place down

Baby Suri was born last Tuesday to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes-but her birth ws far from the planned scientology scenario,where the mother doesnt utter a sound.Like other mothers,Katie was in pain and screamed her head off.
She felt the initial twinges of labour at 5pm easter mondat and alerted Tom who made his way back to their home where she was due to give birth.As she waited for her husband to get home and the contractions became stronger,Katie grew increasingly unesy about giving birth at home with no painkillers and started screaming.On arriving home,Tom took her to St.Johns health centre in Santa Monica where ,according to US People magazine,she had an epidural before giving birth at 3am.

No mention of the celebratory breakfast of bacon,placenta and eggs tho

There you go

Can I just say my sons birth was painless and I did not shout.However,we were unable to enjoy the placenta as it decided it quite liked being where it was and would not appear til it had done its best to try and kill me

Both of my labours hurt as hell, and the placenta would've been there for the taking. Oddly enough, no-one wanted anything to do with it

They took my eldests away for medical research !!My youngest daughter was delivered by my GP who told me to take the placenta home for the roses!

Oh yuck, all this talk of placenta. I took no interest in it at all with any of the kids and am happy to admit I didn't see any of them (the placentas that is, not the kids)

Both my labours were very painful.. I don't really remember my daughter's placenta .. but will never forget my son's as it was bloomin massive and the midwife couldn't believe it!! I don't think I shouted loudly, more just begged someone to make it stop and did lots of deep breathing... oh sorry that was the conception

Wish I'd have been in the same room with all of you after the deliveries

Hey I wonder where all the guys have gone. You'd think at least one of them would have something to contribute to this thread.

I wonder that almost all the guys over here hasn't been experienced ever what it is like to be a father or become one

Or maybe they are just so in awe of what women go through in labour, that they have the sense to keep quiet, Mari.

Oh and btw what you were saying about having your husband in with you during labour, reminded me that Mr Ellie was quite useful too. I could shout and scream and blame him and cut of the circulation in his hands whilst I was in labour. I even managed to rip his shirt during one of the labours, when I just grabbed him by the front of the shirt and ripped it clean off. He said 'this is really not the time nor place to be seducing me dear'

Last time when my delivery began I just kept saying during my labour throes to my hb that "Oh no - this might be a false alarm - I don't want to go to hospital just to be sent back home again to wait until it's real time" but TG he's stubborn like me and he took me to the hospital. His humour was needed in the room that we had for my delivery and it was much more nicer to have some company than being alone in that situation. And his strenght was needed as well, he hold me, so that I could concentrate to my part of work as well. He also cut the umbilical cord and gave the first bath to a newborn baby before I was sewed up. OMG - I'm getting emotional over the subject.

My husband was great during labour too.. in the first one there wasn't much he could do as I was pretty much wired up to every machine in sight, but with our youngest he was brilliant.. massaging my back and counting though the labour pains with me... you need support when you are going through something like that.

I’ve been thinking about this ‘victims of religion’ comment that I made…hoping I didn’t offend anyone. The following few lines, spoken by Jamie Haith last Sunday, maybe explain what I was attempting to ‘get at’.

After all that, isn't nice to know Katie was well cared for?

I think you lot are making too much of this. Childbirth is one of those great moments in life that we as blokes are cruelly denied by our creator. To hear you lot complain saying you have to undergo a bit of pain just rubs our noses in it even more.
