Happy? Katie's issues with Tom

Issue 1: Will Katie be separated from her baby?
In Scientology, mother and child are separated for days after birth to reduce trauma and provide time to recover, says a source. The mother is discouraged from holding or cuddling the child. "The baby should not be bathed or chilled but should be wrapped somewhat tightly in a warm blanket, very soft, and then left alone for a day or so," Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote in a Dec. 20, 1958, bulletin titled "Processing a New Mother." "Katie has said she is not willing to do that," says a Scientologist friend of Tom, "so Tom will probably agree." Even though it's in black and white, a rep for Tom denies that Scientology calls for any separation.

Issue 2: No Painkillers
"A qualified doctor or midwife can be present at the baby's birth," says a source, "but the person is usually a Scientologist, and the use of drugs or painkillers is discouraged." This means Katie will have a completely natural delivery, which leads to the next sticking point...

Issue 3: No screaming allowed
According to Sci-Ti dictates, women aren't supposed to scream about the pain of giving birth, so the child can greet the world in a serene setting. Music is also not allowed. Says a source,"Katie will be able to moan, but she cannot say anything, especially anything negative about the pain or the experience. In fact, no one in the room is supposed to talk. A silent birth is about creating a calming, soothing, quiet environment during childbirth," according to a Scientology spokesperson.
