Kelly Preston: Scientology Silent Birth

Kelly Preston and her husband John Travolta are among the most well-known followers of Scientology. Scientology requires women to have a silent birth, meaning they must keep making any noise, including speaking and moaning, to a bare minimum.

She explained the practice on The Today Show, stating, “It’s just no words as much as possible. If you need to moan, if you cry out or all of that, of course, it’s normal. But just bringing them in as peaceful and gentle as possible.” All the women who have given birth just gave one large collective eye roll on that one!
