Because her mother said that childbirth was the most painful thing ever in life. Scared her, I guess.

Why is everyone so down on Britney for having a Caesarean? Surely it's her choice. Plus none of us know if there were medical reasons behind it.

Oh, my - I was just going to say exactly that. Besides, there's nothing inherently better about natural childbirth.

Oh, for you people who are talking about Cesarian's in relation to someone having money - statistically the most cesarians, and unnecessary cesarians, are performed on low income populations.

I would have been the same way, C-section or not at all. LOL I don't like pain..hence, my not wanting a child. (No, that's not the ONLY reason.

) I don't even have my ears pierced for frig sake.

A C-section is pretty painful afterwards too.
I think Angelina Jolie has the right idea - adoption!

Two beautiful kids without the agony of childbirth.

Can I just say that if you don't like pain you won't want a c-section. Sorry but it amazes me that people think that a c section is painless!! It might be at the time but what abou afterwards?? When you can barely move without pain?

I don't talk from experience as I had 2 natural births but my friend had a c section at around the same time and it took a good few weeks for her to feel well where as I was up and about pretty much right after the birth. She also told me the horror story of a friend of hers who ruptured her c section a week after... not nice!

My sister-in-law had a c-section and was in pain for weeks after. She could barely move. Apparently it's the equivalent to major surgery.
It's not the easy option as some people think.

As for Britney, no one here knows why she had one. Just because it was decided in advance does not mean it was not for medical reasons.
And anyway, she still has the right to choose.
