Uk Press Says Our Nic’s Pregnancy Not Happy Occasion, Actually Filled With Financial And Family Woes

What a difference a large ocean and 12 or so hours in time zone shifts makes when it comes to joyous celebrity pregnancy announcements.

It seems our distant relos across the pond have a rather different view of Nicole Kidman’s recently announced pregnancy than our own press does. Where the Aussie media is happily reporting tales of dad Anthony and mum Janelle delivering the baby and Nicole hanging out at the family home while she takes her antenatal rest, the UK press has another slant on it all, and it’s decidedly less rosy.

Nicole, 40, is said by friends to favour giving birth in the state-of-the-art luxury of Sydney’s Prince of Wales private hospital – a procedure that will cost about £23,000.

But she is deeply concerned that doing so will upset her sister Antonia, to whom she is very close.

Antonia has had all four of her own children at the state-funded Royal Hospital for Women next door – and is adamant it is the best.

To complicate matters still further, Antonia presents a TV show called From Here To Maternity, which charts the trials and tribulations of the labour ward of the Royal Hospital.

“If Nicole goes private, the birth will cost in the region of 50,000 Australian dollars,” says my source. “The family are joking that this is going to be a million-dollar baby.”

So, just in case you missed it, Nicole Kidman is NOT a happy, glowing mum-to-be with a supportive family around her, and rather she is a conniving, money-splashing bitch who wants to make her little sister cry and will stop at nothing to bring this baby into the world wrapped in 24k gold swaddling.

We’re sorry the truth had to come all the way from London, but we’re glad we know what’s up.
