Katie Holmes' Scientology Pregnancy Preparation

Despite rumors, Katie Holmes, 31, is not pregnant — yet. Although it does seem that Mrs. Tom Cruise is taking certain Scientology-approved steps toward becoming a mother for the second time.

Over the past few weeks, for example, she's been spending more than her fair share of time at The Hollywood Scientology Center, and, as a Page Six source reports, "This is exactly what happened just before she got pregnant with Suri. Tom has made no secret of the fact that he would like another baby. It is almost as if she is being prepared for it."

So far, her rep has denied the pregnancy rumors. Those pics of her snapped going into a doctor's office? Well, she was really meeting friends at the nearby E Baldi restaurant. Right, sure, uh huh.

So when will we know the pregnancy preparation has commenced for real? Scientology's Second Dynamic gives us a few clues. Below, four signs that a Tomkitten #2 is on the way:

#1: You'll know Katie Holmes is preparing for pregnancy when... She undergoes further intense auditing sessions.
Just as she did in the months before her 3 year-old daughter Suri was born, the Dawson's Creek alum is participating in what Scientology calls Auditing. The Inquisitr says that the process "involves answering questions or following directions with the aim of being freed from unwanted barriers that inhibit natural ability." This helps to ensure that Suri's eventual sibling is as happy and healthy as possible while en utero.

#2: You'll know Katie Holmes is preparing for pregnancy when... She's spotted sauna-hopping and downing cooking oil.
Last year reports had it that Katie skipped the Academy Awards because a detox diet that left her feeling drained. In addition to ridding the body of toxins, the herbal drinks are said to aid conception. She's not the only celeb scientologist to drink the herbal kool-aid, so to speak. According to ParentDish, when Jennifer Lopez was ready to have children with Marc Anthony, she was encouraged to participate in a cleansing ritual that included drinking a mixture of cooking oil and niacin. Bottoms up!
