Nicole Kidman credits miracle pregnancy to waterfall swim
Filed under: Celeb Parents
Whenever there's a rash of pregnancies among a group of friends or co-workers, you'll often hear the joke: "There's something in the water!" In new mom Nicole Kidman's eyes, however, that might really be true. According to Nicole, she thought she'd never get pregnant and carry a baby. But after swimming in Kununurra waterfalls of the Australian Outback, she got pregnant with Sunday Rose.Not only did Nicole get pregnant, but so did six other women who were working with her on her latest film Australia. Out of the seven, six gave birth to girls and one to a boy. Nicole says that the Kununurra falls should be called "fertility waters."
Women who struggle with infertility get a lot of unhelpful advice: Just relax. Go on vacation. You're trying too hard. Does Kidman's suggestion that a swim in pristine waters can promote fertility fall into that same category ? Or do you think the star could be on to something?

Daughter Rejects Mother as Adopter of Her 'Baby'
Giving a baby up for adoption after going through the full process of pregnancy can take a toll on a mother, but as we see in ETonline's exclusive clip of I'm Having Their Baby, it can also be hard on the mother's family. "We don't give our kids up for adoption. We raise our children regardless of how hard it is," Nicol's mother says, disapproving of her decision to give her child away to married adopted parents.

Amy said...Bethany, you are trying to get people's views from a joke an actress made in an interview? I guess she should have added "lol" or a rolling laughter smilie to the end of the sentence instead of the 2 exclamation marks. The way the media and no work to do bloggers missed the joke regarding the fertility water is rather amusing. What she said is nothing more than a "there must be something in the water" joke since 7 babies were born to the women who went out to swim together. She is not peddling some mythical waterfall, she was making a joke. Good Lord, when did people lose their sense of humour?
Either we are getting dumber by the minute or someone needs an injection of humour.

Amy said...Reading your post again, you are actually trying to sell her joke as a serious statement that she made. I guess this is what results from a copy and paste job when you don't actually read the interview she gave but an excerpt by some other journalist who missed the humour to begin with.
