Too Posh to Push?

When Soluna, Benji and I went to a wedding a few weeks ago we ran into an old friend from college. One of her first questions was: "Did you have a c-section?"

I was like, "No, but that's a strange question. Why do you ask?"

She went on to tell us that most of her friends in San Jose have ended up with c-sections or actually planned to have c-sections so that they could have a tummy tuck at the same time. It's called a C-tuck!

So after watching "The Business of Being Born" and seeing a small segment of Hollywood stars pictures infering that they had planned c-sections I had to look up more information on how these women chose to bring their babies into the world. And, I found out that the following women planned their c-sections:

Angelina Jolie
Victoria Beckham
Madonna
Kelly Ripa
Claudia Schiffer
Kate Hudson
Britney Spears

Can you imagine?!? No longer is birth a rite of passage, birth is an operation tied to plastic surgery!

This is pretty popular for the elite/rich in Mexico (Tepa) for a couple of years, your already under the knife is their rationale!
