Tom Monitors Fetus

[Pinky*]

rosemarys baby is an excellent comparison..might be where all this marketing genius originated

 

[Manuva]

Wow, Tom Cruise is so...weird.

 

[Sugarmama]

This is all so weird

 

[Plastic'sWife]

Im still trying to figure out if this is sweet or crazy. Ofcourse, the fact its from Tom makes it crazy, but the idea itself is kinda sweet... no?

 

[Umm Zain]

You know, Paxil will help clear up that bad case of OCD Tom seems to have developed...

 

[*JJ*]

maybe he needs the machine to print out the sonograms so he can send them out as postcards..


oh god....i almost do not dare to say it, but do you think he will buy that chair gynecologists have?

 

[FrockRadar8]

i don't know even about these sonograms...but it doesn't sound like very healthy,for "Kate" or Child 000134JX27.

First silent births, now baby monitoring next, we seems to be in agreement about future implants, I think this kid is going to be placed on some special Scientology compliant diet, and not allowed to watch T.V.

Bwah!!!

Reminds me of when I had surgery, they got me all situated and asked if I was comfortable ... I said, Oh yeah, gotta get me one of these for my living room

As far as danger to the mom & child ... to the best of my knowledge, there is ZERO risk or danger associated with sonograms. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. It's done quite often with high-risk pregnancies.

Additionally, assuming they are scanning abdominally, no special furniture is required.

I think the silent birth thing is a thousand times worse than this.

A quick Google showed up this - pretty informative: http://www.drgreene.com/21_839.html So far they look to be safe, but it is early in the science (the monkey thing freaked me out and the key seems to be, as this doctor says, to use the science judiciously. Not as your new, weird hobby. I don't think it's sweet at all - framing your baby's occasional sonogram is sweet. Being there for the mother of your child if she's having a high-risk pregnancy and needs more frequent sonograms is sweet. I just don't know why people (Tom) would mess with something like this, when experts are saying, "In our hands, and done properly and within reason, it poses no danger, but there's no studies on doing it willy-nilly whenever you get the urge so we advise against it." But then there's lots of stuff, like x-rays and ddt and cigarettes, that were just marvelous for you, according to doctors and the government

Not remembering where I heard the ear infection link - I don't want to spread misinformation. Since I've heard it from a lot of individuals and can't remember a medical source, it's most likely ancedotal

^ The summary paragraph from the above article:

"In answer to your specific question, Jane, I have never seen in the medical literature any report of a connection between ultrasounds and ear infections (if you hear any more, please let me know!). We do know that ultrasounds are very safe (far safer than X rays). We also know that sound wave energy does affect living tissue, but the full implications of this remain to be discovered. The ultrasound machines in common use keep changing (more quickly than the studies of long-term effects can possibly keep up with), as new technology allows clearer and clearer ultrasound pictures. We must respect what we do not yet know. Still, used judiciously, prenatal ultrasound is a truly wonderful tool."

It is known that a sonogram machine is bad for the fetus. That is why people do it only once. But the amount of times Tom and Katie are, the baby is gonna come out with major problems....that and the fact that it is gonna be brainwashed with scientology crap!

exactly!

and to think everybody was sad when 'tom and nicole' divorced. wow! she escaped his psychotic clutches!
katie seems totally under his thumb

 

[Boho Addict]

Maybe he'll dump Katie once the baby is born?

I think Tom's testing Katie. First to see if she could give him a child and then force her to convert to scientology before he marries her and if she doesn't comply with his demands, buh bye Katie.

LOL. That is my theory! I think he had her get pregnant, so he can raise his son/daughter to be the next psycho Scientology leader and take over the world!

As the above article states, this is *not* known, and doctors generally *don't* do only a single sonogram per pregnancy. It's not unusual for OB-GYNs to have their own sonogram machines--and they use them. I saw a study not long ago that showed that babies who had multiple sonograms weren't healthier than those who had only one ... it had the look of a study sponsored by insurance companies hoping to pay for fewer sonograms.

The procedure that *is* potentially dangerous is amniocentesis, and as the above article points out, X-rays are quite dangerous, particularly to unborn children.

And yes, Scientology appears to be quite dangerous as well as it seems to severely inhibit rational thinking

 

[strawberry]

The consensus among most doctors, is to limit the number of sonograms to a *maximum* of 2 per pregnancy, mainly because they've been linked to ear problems.

Tom and Katie are having the Scientology "massiah"

 

[christilynn]

Someone should be monitoring Tom......

OMG, he's soooo creepy I cannot stand him anymore...
