actually it is safer for both mother and baby to have natural childbirth. for moms, surgery is dangerous. for babies, coming thru the birth canal squeezes out fluid from the lung, and also there is less risk in delivery prematurely.

that said, most celebrities are "elderly primips". For women over 35 who are having their first baby, the rate of Caesarian sections is quite high even if you give them a trial of labor. So there is a good argument that elective caesarian section is indicated for these "elderly" celebrities...

That's always been my understanding.

Why?
