mx0032922__opt.jpg

Australian media is reporting that Nicole Kidman's father is planning to deliver her child with the help of her mother, as they did for Nic's sister Antonia.

Will they be able to giver her an epidural????

Screw natural. Bring on the painkillers!

    It's painfully obvious that you don't know a thing about child birth, the doctors usually don't show up until the head pops out. Seriously. I hope she's knows what she's getting into opting not to use drugs……

    Oh yes, childbirth is the most natural and fundamental thing around. Do animals need the ridiculous medical interventions that abound in the U.S.A.? No. And an RN will be certainly perfectly able to diagnose the RARE RARE RARE situation where Nicole might require a hospital transfer, which usually isn't actually required at all, even when done. Lucky Nicole for having such a good role model as her sister, wanting to allow her child a natural entry into the world.

    Why does she look like she's about 80 years old? What happened to her hair? It looks gray at the roots. Where are her eyelashes? I see about 2 of them. Will she be pumped full of botox during the delivery so her face doesn't crack when pushing out the baby? She's aging badly.

    doesn't this seem kind of creepy? forget the medical concerns, why would any woman want her father delivering her baby?

  26. mamacita says – reply to this


    26

    nah!!!! i had my child at home with a midwife. no painkillers. i'm not going to lie. it hurt but nothing i couldn't handle and i know that it was better for my baby. i say good for nicole!!!!! fyi… i'm not a crazy hippie. i'm an educated woman who did tons of research on this topic before deciding to homebirth.

  27. Lucky Boo says – reply to this

    Ick! Whether he is an M.D. or not, I do NOT want my dad "down there"!! What kind of creepy dad would want to do that anyway???? YUCK! You aren't supposed to show your dad your "cookie"!

    That's kinda gross…. I know my dad was very uncomfortable when my sister gave birth.. and he was just in and out of the room occasionally!!! I can't imagine having my dad's head and hands DOWN THERE…. even for medical reasons. Yuck..

    33

    The anesthesiologist gives the epidural, not the doctor who delivers the baby. If her father is a psychiatrist, he is a medical doctor.

  34. hmmmm says – reply to this


    34

    I doubt this is even true. Nicole Kidman has probably been labeled a very high risk pregnancy.. with her age and past miscarriages. I am sure they will opt for a hospital delivery in case of complications……. who knows, though?

  35. Texas says – reply to this


    35

    Not a good idea!

    I can't stomach the fact a dad would look at a daughter's vagina while helping her giving birth.

    Gross!

    She may be better off giving the Scienlogist silent birth! Call Tommy Girl!

    52

    this is just wrong in so many ways!!!! NO reputable doctor would deliver his own grandchild, nor take out his kids appendix, tonsils, etc. its just NOT done! and as far as administring any meds, last time i checked, you have to be an m.d. to do so! and for all yall who are going write back and say this and that, go stuff your ass!!!!!

  53. ofeliafumpp says – reply to this


    53

    argh old news, this was around a day or so after she announced she was pregnant- gross tho… and btw, it doesnt say there that it will be a home birth, other papers are saying she's checking out the two best hospitals in Sydney.

  55. misty says – reply to this


    55

    I had both of my children without drugs. One at a hospital and one at home. The birth at home was 100% better.

    My father was present for the home birth. I think during that moment, it isn't the "uck factor" of seeing your daughters cooch. It is seeing your grandchild's entry into the world.

    Childbirth IS work, but it is not painful in an unnatural sense. Stayed relaxed and calm can rid your body of 95% of the discomfort. You feel pain only when you are tense and not relaxed. Childbirth is an experience that our bodies are meant to endure. It is nothing like getting teeth yanked out or breaking a bone. Those are not so natural.

    Aw come on! That is so wrong. Not the natural childbirth but having your father delivering the baby….NO. If something should happen, god forbid, do you know the problems that is going to cause with the mental blame, etc.
    Also, what is wrong with Nicole lately? She looks awful for the last
    year….so unnatural, too much Botox or problems…..she is like WAX.

    Thats gross. I know none of my sisters would care to have me, my dad, uncles or whoever delivering their children. I don't care if we were the best MD's in the delivery ward with national recognition. That is all kinds of strange and creepy. Then again this is Nicole Kidman we're talking about. She should keep this nasty family wierdness to herself.

    I had to do it naturally and once it started, it was then that they told me "this hospital doesn't provide epidural, etc. I had 26 hours of HARD labor and my father came in, took one look at me and walked out and later said it reminded him of the Exorcist when her head twisted around and she puked up green stuff like in the exorcist (I didn't puke, but alot of profanity was used).

    She is a pretty, nice and a very talented woman. And has a hot husband. She's like the fairy princess and all her dreams have come true.

    66

    My childhood friend was delivered by her grandfather. He was an actual M.D. But I always thought that was so strange. Like I could imagine wanting family and husband there, but to actually deliver? No. definately not. Maybe he is just going to be there in the room w/ her Mum and Keith? Or maybe being married to that freak Tom Cruise made her a wee bit weird too.

  67. Blair says – reply to this


    67

    who knows if this is true , people here are so easy to convinced , anything and everything the media reports they just jump into the conclusion that it is true
    I say whatever and honestly it is non of any body's business but her and her family
    Nicole will always still one of my favorite actress , actually she is not just an actress ,
    she won an Oscar which is not every actress can achieve .Nicole is a very classy and proper lady ,and ageism in this country is pretty bad , as if you guys will never age
    and will stay young forever
    She will always be beautiful and her beauty is timeless and that is all there is to it

    68

    This is the most fucked-up shit I've ever heard. Scientology's silent-birth crap was bad enough, but your parents delivering your child — especially when neither of them is an ob/gyn — is just too weird for words. Everyone in the Kidman family is WHACKED.

    I don't believe that for a minute, her sister had her baby in a hospital..her father is not that kind of doctor, and I believe that Nicole is too smart, to let an untrained person deliver the baby shes been waiting to give birth to for so long.

  75. Cassy says – reply to this


    75

    No doctor who catches the baby gives the epidural — that's the anesthesiologist's job. I doubt she will have an epidural because she is not a stupid, brainwashed American.

    Not to mention, if he is not a medical doctor, or even a trained midwife or doula, if there are problems, which are unfortunately common in geriatric pregnancies, he might not realize it in time then it might be too late to get to a hospital in time to save the baby, should something go wrong. But whatever… if they want to do it this way, that is their decision. If something happens to the baby as a result, they will only have themselves to blame and they'll have to live with it.

    First she has to carry the child to term. She is an older woman with a history of miscarriages, people are putting the cart before the horse.

  88. Bleh says – reply to this


    88

    If this story is true (and who really knows…), it's probably her mother who will deliver. After all, doctors are usually there only to catch the baby or for complications.

    I gave birth without medication to two children. It's hard work and, at times, painful, but with the proper attitude and preparation (Bradley method, in my case), it's not even close to the horror story that most people think it is.

    It's just too bad that women are conditioned to believe that they absolutely cannot under no circumstances give birth without being drugged up.

    92

    If any of this is to be believed (and who knows if it is…), it is likely that her mother will be the one delivering. Nurses and nurse-midwives do the majority of work in hospital births anyway. Doctors are usually only there to catch the baby or for complications.

    I gave birth to two children without any medication. It's extremely hard work and painful at times, but, with preparation it's no where near the horror story that everyone seems to believe it is. Women are conditioned to believe they absolutely could never have a baby without being drugged up.

  95. Doulalicious says – reply to this


    95

    I am a doula, and natural childbirth is by far the best thing to do for both the mother and the baby. I had one myself and just attended one last week. It is absolutely beautiful and transforming. Yes, it hurts, but it's completely manageable with proper preparation and support. Drugs given through an epidural or any other method go to the baby, whose body weight is much smaller than that of the mother, thus ensuring the baby gets way too much of the drugs. And research shows that homebirth is just as safe - if not safer than hospital birth. All the complications you keep hearing about are usually a result of unnecessary medical interventions. As far as having her father deliver - I say, whatever makes her happy and comfortable! I think it's better to have your father down there, who is only going to think of you as a daughter than a strange male doctor who may be a perv.

  96. Jessi says – reply to this


    96

    Is it just me or does botox actually make her look OLDER? Wow. She really needs to stop using that. She's a beautiful woman naturally, and she'd probably age beautifully if she just stays healthy and natural.
    And yuck, no way would I would my Dad to deliver my baby. There are just some areas that your Dad's hands should not be near.
