Britain's Grazia magazine reports that Katie Holmes has asked former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham to be with her during the birth of her love child (sans medication) with Tom Cruise.
- "Victoria and Katie have struck a real rapport ever since they were introduced by Tom and both of them are thrilled by the friendship.
"Victoria has become something of a mother hen to Katie, so when she was asked if she would be with her during the birth, she said yes straight away."Because the pair live in different countries - mum-of-three Victoria lives in Spain, while Katie lives in the US - they are spending time on the phone preparing for the birth.
The source added: "Twice a week they both set aside half an hour to chat about the impending birth and any worries Katie might have.
"Sometimes they even practise breathing exercises over the phone."
