Nicole Kidman's Baby And The "Fertility Waters" of Australia

Thursday October 2, 2008

According to E! online, Nicole Kidman’s baby may be a miracle baby, the result of swimming in the “fertility waters” of Australia. No, really.

Kidman is quoted in the article as saying that she never thought she’d have a child on her own. She has two adopted children, and she suffered a miscarriage several years back. She also happens to be in her early 40s, which is a time when getting pregnant is more difficult. (Read more about getting pregnant after age 35 here.) Yet, just this past July, her "fertility water" daughter, named Sunday Rose, was born.

While filming the upcoming movie Australia, Kidman and several other females from the film swam in the Kununurra waters of the Australian outback. Kidman plus six other women all got pregnant after swimming in what they now call the “fertility waters”.

I had three reactions to this news article.

  1. How many days will it take for a friend or family member to (seriously) suggest that I get myself a ticket to Australia?
  2. This is the silliest thing I have ever heard.
  3. I wonder how much a ticket to Australia costs?

What do you think? Think there just might be something in the water? Think it’s crazy? (But would you try it anyway, if you could?)
