Here's an excerpt from the story. It reads to me as if it was a planned caesarian, done earlier than due date....in that time honoured celebrity tradition. But, of course, I could be wrong.

GERI Halliwell gave birth to a baby girl last night — after refusing to allow the tot’s dad to be present.
Ex-Spice Girl Geri, 33, checked into a suite at London’s Portland Hospital early yesterday to prepare for a Caesarean section.
Her mum Anna Maria was with her at the birth — which was not due until later this month.
The baby was delivered at 9pm by top obstetrician Malcolm Gillard, who delivered David and Victoria Beckham’s first son Brooklyn.
Mr Gillard was also flown to Spain to oversee the birth of Posh’s third son Cruz and was recommended to Geri.
A hospital source said last night: “The birth went well. Mother and daughter are doing fine.”
