Word is that the Jolie-Pitts bought clothes suitable for a little baby girl, but also picked out a t-shirt with the word “Boy” across the front. Of course they already have a baby girl, but presumably these were little tiny clothes:
“We think it’s a girl, but we’re not 100-percent certain,” the observer says he overheard Jolie say during the private shopping jaunt.
Still, the source tells PEOPLE that the actress also purchased a gray T-shirt with the word “boy” on it . . . “just in case.” Besides, she said, “since I already have a boy and a girl, it doesn’t really matter.”
We heard earlier that that Jolie-Pitts were expecting a boy, so they may have staged the shopping trip and spoken loudly to throw off the tabloids.
Us Weekly claims to have the exclusive news that Jolie has decided to stay in Africa to give birth. They quote a source saying that:
A report in In Touch in early March states that PItt insists on having a doctor accompany the couple to Africa, should Jolie choose to give birth there.
While it is unknown whether Jolie plans to give birth in a natural, non-medical setting in Africa, an out-of-hospital childbirth is a safe option for a healthy first time mother. According to the book “The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth” by Henci Goer, medical studies show that home and birthing center (non-medical) births are safer and result in a better outcome for mother and child.
It may seen unconventional for Jolie to give birth in Africa, but it’s not irresponsible. She’s just looking for a safe, secure place for her child to come into the world. Women have done it for eons.
Update: People are saying that Africa is a dangerous place to give birth due to the threat of malaria. This may be true, but don’t you think that Jolie knows about that and has prepared for it medically? She’s a smart woman.
