Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Plan Water Birth  5/1/06

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are reportedly planning to deliver their first biological child in a giant tub of water.

The movie stars have been looking into birthing possibilities at the Welwitschia Hospital in Namibia, and are keen to go aquatic when Jolie goes into labor.

Iris Wabuto, a nurse at the clinic, says, "It will be natural and beautiful.

"Instead of a man like Brad being pushed into the corner of a labor ward, he will be part of the birth process."

And the expectant couple have allegedly wasted no time in picking a name for the baby - they have settled on Africa in a tribute to the child's birthplace.

A friend of Jolie tells British newspaper the Sunday Express, "They know the sex of their baby, though they're trying to keep that a secret. But they both think Africa would suit a boy or a girl.

"It's exotic and mysterious - just like the continent where the baby will be born."
