Spice girl to assist in TomKat birth?

Katie Holmes, expecting her first baby with fiance Tom Cruise, has reportedly asked former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham to be her birthing partner! A source has revealed that "Victoria and Katie have struck a real rapport ever since they were introduced by Tom and both of them are thrilled by the friendship." Apparently Victoria said yes and the two women, despite living on different continents, talk twice a week:  "about the impending birth and any worried Katie might have … Sometimes they even practise breathing exercises over the phone."

That’s cool that Katie and Victoria might be friends, but as far as birthing coaches we’ll see.

Did Victoria/Posh have all three of her sons via caesarian section, or was it only the oldest son?

(I think it was after of her oldest son’s birth in 1999, that UK tabloids coined the term “Too Posh To Push” for celebrities who have c-sections.)

For some reason I do not believe this story…Part may be true, but not all of it..I mean practicing breathing over the phone…

I had two c-sections and neither were planned… After the 1st one the Doctors decided that the risk for uterine rupture was too great so they did another c-section. It was proabably the same for Posh (Victoria)…

I thought Victoria had the first two naturally and then she had a schedueled C-section for Cruz?
