doing a fairly quick google on scientology and childbirth returned a snippet from an interview with John Travolta - who is a Scientologist...

Kelly Preston/John Travolta
Mrshowbiz reported on April 4th that Kelly Preston and John Travolta have
completed the Scientology childbirth of their second child.
"The baby girl, named Ella Bleu, weighed 9 pounds at birth. The delivery
was planned to be what Scientologists call a 'quiet birth.' The star of
Look Who's Talking Now explains the non-talking concept to Entertainment
Tonight. 'We do the traditional French Lamaze, but in Dianetics, you try
and keep the delivery room quiet so there's nothing recorded in the
child's mind that shouldn't be there while there's pain going on,'
Travolta says. Kelly is free to moan, because 'the sounds are not as
detrimental. Any people saying any kind of negative verbiage may adversely
affect the baby later on.'"

That I can buy - -sounds OK - moaning OK - screaming at the husband that it's all his fault she's in all kinds of pain is bad...
But -- doesn't the state require some sort of blood test when the baby is born - and don't they have to check the RH factor of the child? I know home births are pretty common -- during a regular home birth - -what happens?
