Los Angeles, California (AHN) - Brooke Shields, who has currently been criticized by fellow Hollywood actor Tom Cruise for using anti-depressants after her first birth, is pregnant again. She is expecting a child with a screenwriter husband Chris Henchy.
The news follows the announcement from three weeks ago that Katie Holmes is also expecting a child with Scientologist Tom Cruise. Cruise has recently been on a media debate over postpartum depression therapies.
In an interview, the actor expressed his dismay towards Shields for using drugs to remedy the depression she felt after giving birth to her first child. With the help of Scientology, Cruise recommends a healthy diet and exercise to fend off the baby blues.
Shields lashed out back at Cruise, stating that he has no first-hand knowledge of what it feels like to suffer from postpartum depression.
Shields, 40, wed Henchly in 2001, and their daughter Rowan, was born in 2003. The actress is currently wrapping up her Broadway run of Chicago this week.
Brooke Shields Follows Celine Dion With Second Baby

HOLLYWOOD, October 31, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) Movie star Brooke Shields is pregnant with her second child. She already has a daughter with her husband, TV writer Chris Henchy, conceived by in-vitro fertilization. Presumably this second child is also an IVF baby, although news sources did not reveal this information.
Shields wrote about her experience of severe depression following the birth of Rowan Francis in 2003 in her book Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression. Australian researchers revealed in August that women who conceive through IVF are four times more likely to suffer from post-partum depression and early parenting difficulties as compared to women who conceive naturally.
IVF creates children outside of the loving union of a man and a woman. Furthermore, the lives of the embryonic children conceived by the IVF procedure are under severe threat since the latest statistics have revealed that over 85% of embryos transferred in the procedure die in the process. With over a million children having been born via IVF, that would amount to nearly six million embryonic children killed with the procedure.

This is where scientists get the embryonic stem cells, from throw-away children at IVF clinics. The snowflake adoption program is saving some of them from impending mutilation and death.
How many zygotes never implant naturally?

About 80% of all naturally conceived zygotes also fail to implant.
