Nicole Kidman’s parents to deliver her baby

Nicole Kidman's parents are to deliver her baby, it has been claimed.

The actress - who's expecting her first child with husband Keith Urban later this year, has reportedly lined up her father, clinical psychologist Dr. Anthony David Kidman, and her nursing instructor mother Janelle to be midwives during the birth.

Anthony and Janelle did the same thing for Nicole's younger sister, Antonia Kidman, 37, when she gave birth to her fourth child in March last year.

The 40-year-old 'Golden Compass' star is considering giving birth in Sydney's Prince of Wales private hospital, which is described as a "state-of-the-art luxury" facility.

Although Kidman wants the delivery to take place at the medical center, 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."
