Fair enough, I don't have an issue with people opting for Caesareans but what these articles never pick up on is that the Caesarean is always scheduled much earlier than the due date - having a baby 3 weeks early is a good way to avoid stretch marks after all... After all one has to be photographed in a string bikini within a month of giving birth.
