Katie Holmes had an epidural.


Since the phrase "too much information" does not apply to the birth of Tom Cruise's new baby, numerous details were disseminated Wednesday, one day after the blessed event.


According to People magazine, which as noted by Gawker.com had at least one correspondent on binocular watch outside Cruise's Beverly Hills estate, and should know such things, Holmes was administered anesthesia during labor.


Scientology, the religion which counts Holmes as a recent convert, normally frowns on painkillers. But Cruise told ABC News last week that if his fiancee "needs an epidural, she's gonna get her epidural."


As for the matter of the silent birth, Holmes, 27, had one of those, too. At least that was the speculation of People executive editor Peter Castro who said on Wednesday's Today, "We think it was a silent birth."
