Celebrity C-Sections

[Nancy]

I hope this isn't too judgemental against health care in other countries, but if you were giving birth for the first time and your baby was breech and you were a multi-millionaire, would you chose to have your surgery in some clinic in Namibia for God's Sake? Unless of course, she flew in her OB from Cedars-Sinai in L.A. and he brought his own sterile surgical supplies.

Actually her doctor was there, (I am a gossip magazine junkie) and her daughter was breech so he decided to do the c section. Jolie has stated she was scared.

I always wondered if they all end up with c's because they are so skinny and maybe not necessarily super strong in the pelvic area. I know a few scheduled their c-sections, but I don't think they all did.

Have to add onto my last statement after reading all the rest of the statements about skinny doesn't mean they can't have a normal delivery...I agree with that, I was thinking more along the idea of just not having the strength to tolerate a regular delivery. Could you all imagine Nicole Richie having the stength to push out a baby?

I don't know. Madonna seems VERY strong to me. Most of the celebs have personal trainers and workout about 3 hours a day. They probably have some of the best abs of anyone. I will agree that Nicole Ritchie looks ill.

Nicole Ritchie isn't skinny; she's emaciated.

I will say that women that start out skinny, don't end up necessarily skinny 9 months down the road. Look at, um, the Alias chick, Jennifer Garner.

She's 5'9", and she was really not worried about her weight during her pregnancy.

When I got pregnant with my first I was 5'9' and 120, by the time I delivered I was over 200 (I had a Hee-YOooge booty!).

It took about a year of walking and nursing to get down to about 130, when I got pregnant with #2, and I went back up to 200.

After #2 my body decided it liked being around 130, so that's where I stayed.

When I got pregnant, I didn't have 'child bearin' hips, but boy, I MADE them!

It's hard to tell with the celebrities which ones are just skinny (I think Cameron Diaz is just skinny), and which ones are starving themselves (Ritchie, Lohan, etc.). The ones that are just skinny will do fine with pregnancy, the ones that are starving themselves, well, probably not so much...
