Manon, I didn’t state any opinion either way, I was answering your question. I actually have had a scheduled c-section due to a health issue.

My almost 3-year old daughter was 8lb 8oz at birth. I would not change the experience of giving birth to her naturally for anything on this earth. It does seem to be a hollywood thing, as someone I know wanted an elective c-section and she was turned down by her OBGYN so she delivered naturally. Turns out she’s glad they did!

June- I agree (except for the part about Victoria Beckham, since I really don’t know if that phrase is directly related to her or not. There has been debate about that, but I’m unsure whether or not it’s actually been confirmed that the phrase is directly related to her).

What I don’t get is…When someone wants to plan their baby’s birth so, for example, daddy can be there, why does it always seem to be a C-section that is chosen? Why not just schedule an induction? I’m not trying to judge here at all. This is just something I’ve been curious about for awhile.

Yes, Shiloh was breach, and I also said in my post that Jolie’s Dr probably was more urging on her having a c-section with the twins, dr’s prefer to deliver twins in a c-section, and it was a safety precaution since the twins were born early. Most women have another c-section after the first because there is worry about the scar tissue erupting during delivery.

Tori Spelling had a csection with Liam because his heart rate plummeted. She didn’t want one and she didn’t schedule one with him. She was in labor for hours and then his heart rate dropped and they did a csection. With Stella, she went back and forth between wanting a VBAC (it was on their last season of the show, she was actually in tears a couple of different times trying to decide what she should do)and scheduling a repeat csection and in the end, because of what happened with Liam, felt it was safer to go ahead and schedule than run this risk of the same thing happening with Stella.

IIRC, Victoria Beckham’s first was either breach or transverse and that’s why she had a csection with him.

It amazes me how people say “oh, well that celeb’s C-section was legit b/c her baby was breech” or whatever the reason. No one needs to justify why their birthing plan went the way it did. It’s a private matter. Not to mention none of us know the truth. Those celebs people think had “legit” C’s may be making the reasons up, and the ones who stay quiet may have had a medical issue that they don’t want the whole world knowing about! None of us know, and its none of our business…..

I lived in England for over 12 years and still spend half my time there a year and “too posh to push” was directly related to V. Beckham and those following comments she made about C-sections, I don’t know why she had the c-section but others wanted to follow.
But what is funny is if your doing a c section just so you can plan your babies birth or something silly like that your recovery time is much more. And your chances of PPD are even greater.
If you need it then that’s great because C sections have saved so many moms and babies lives, but if your just doing it for planning purposes I say that’s rather silly, IMO!

Apologies, Vicci! I meant to reply to April’s post.

I just read yours and I totally agree with you and the way you articulate your feelings is exactly how I feel.
