Nicole Kidman's parents will deliver her baby, it has been claimed.
The Oscar-winning actress is expecting her first child with husband Keith Urban and her father, clinical psychologist Dr. Anthony David Kidman, and her nursing instructor mother Janelle are set to be midwives during the birth, according to Australian newspaper reports.
Anthony and Janelle did the same thing for Nicole's younger sister, 37-year-old journalist Antonia Kidman, when she gave birth to her fourth child in March last year.
Nicole, 40, is considering giving birth in Sydney's Prince of Wales private hospital, which is described as a "state-of-the-art luxury" facility.
Although 'The Golden Compass' star wants the delivery to take place at the medical centre, she is said to be worried about offending Antonia, who gave birth to all four of her children in Sydney's state-funded Royal Hospital for Women.
A source said: "Nicole wants Keith to stay in the hospital with her when the baby arrives and that would not be possible at the Royal Hospital."

Having her parents present doesn't mean that her father will deliver the baby. At her sister's recent delivery, her mother, who is a licensed mid-wife did assist and her father was present. Most witnesses are kept at the head of the bed and do not have any view of the actual delivery area. Exceptions are made for the husband to 'catch' the newborn, but that is the only exception.
How do I know? I'm a mid-wife myself. These stories floating around are there only for the purpose of selling papers and are totally fabricated.
