Jbr - I think that this was invented by the media because a lot of celebrities were opting to have CS's. They felt that these women were fitting having their babies into their busy schedules, and that it meant that they felt themselves too important to have the baby 'naturally' (i.e. down the birth canal, not without any pain relief!)
I do agree to a certain extent about the celebrities. Zoe Ball actually admitted that she had had this operation because she had seen what her mother went through to have a baby, due to her narrow hips. Whilst I can see that she was worried, I can't see your average mother being allowed to do this in an NHS hospital!
Obviously, we do not ever know the full stories behind these births, and I know that CS's are never given out willy nilly to the average mother. I was told that I might have to have one, following a long and potentially dangerous labour, but begged for it to be absolutely the last resort.
I can imagine that it is horrendous, and cannot understand why someone would select to have a major operation to give birth, unless absolutely necessary.
BTW - Romeo? Good God! Whatever next? Could have been worse I suppose. At least Brooklyn wasn't conceived in Peckham - Peckham Beckham....
