It is reported that Katie Holmes is being urged to have a 'silent birth' when she has Tom Cruise’s baby.
When the 27-year-old actress is wheeled into the delivery room, she will be under instructions not to cry or scream out, no matter how painful her labour.
The 'Dawson's Creek' star has reportedly agreed to convert from Catholicism to her fiancé's Church of Scientology, which insists on 'silent births' to avoid traumatising newborn babies.
Scientologists also believe in giving youngsters lie-detector tests, asking them to spy on their classmates and face cutting themselves off from family members if they are non-believers.
Holmes, who started dating Cruise in April, is thought to be three months pregnant.
