Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly planning an underwater birth for her second child with Cold Play frontman Chris Martin.

The
pregnant star and Coldplay star husband Chris Martin are said to have
splashed out on birthing pools for their homes in London and New York.

Oscar-winning
actress Gwyneth – who is due to give birth in May – is said to have
planned an underwater delivery when having daughter, Apple, but changed
her mind at the last minute.

A friend is quoted in Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "It’s
something Gwyneth really wanted to do for her first birth but she
didn’t feel confident enough.

"This time she’s more than ready for an underwater birth – she’s done loads of research. It will be very special and spiritual."

Underwater births are a little controversial these days because of the non-traditional spirituality involved and of course that whole drowning baby thing. My mom had an underwater birth with me when I was born too. Well I was actually five and she parked the car on the boat landing at the lake. "I’ll be right back", she said," Just release that handle right there, mommy’s got a hot date!".
