John Travolta And Kelly Preston Very Happy About New Son Benjamin

On Tuesday Kelly Preston's and John Travolta's son Benjamin was born in a a Florida hospital. The weight of the baby at birth was 8lbs and 3 oz. The baby and his mother are happy and well.

In a statement the family said:

"John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully."

As there was some confusion in the media about the necessity of silence during the delivery of a baby, The Washington Post printed excerpts from a press release by the Church of Scientology:

"A silent birth is labor and delivery done in a calm and loving environment and with no spoken words by anyone attending. Chatty doctors and nurses, shouts to “PUSH, PUSH” and loud or laughing remarks to “encourage” are the types of things that are meant to be avoided."

And they continue with this part from the press release:

"The point of silent birth is NO WORDS. It does not mean a mother cannot make any sound during childbirth. It is doubtful that any woman could give birth without making any noise at all."

The Washingthon Post also gives the source of the data and the exact reason for it by continuing with this quote:

"L. Ron Hubbard discovered the hidden source of nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets, insecurity and psychosomatic illness -- the reactive mind. This part of the mind records all perceptions during times of pain and unconsciousness -- which childbirth is for both mother and child. And words, in particular, spoken during these moments, can have an adverse effect on one later in life."
