Celebrity mothers are into c-sections

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

We've already realized that having a baby is pretty much vital in Hollywood in order to get your name in the papers. Celebrity moms are willing to make that sacrifice, just as long as it doesn't mean tearing down there, if you know what I mean.

Christina Aguilera is the latest A-list mommy to opt for scheduling a c-section birth rather than waiting to find out if an object (ok, baby) the size of a large watermelon would fit through a tunnel the size of a small lemon. In an interview with Hello Magazine she explained the reasons behind her decision, "I didn't want any surprises. Honestly, I didn't want any [vaginal] tearing. I had heard horror stories of women going in and having to have an emergency C-section [anyway]. The hardest part was deciding on his birthday. I wanted to leave it up to fate, but at the same time I was ready to be done early!"

Victoria Beckham was the woman who started the "Too Posh to Push," trend in 1999 when she gave birth to Brooklyn via c-section. Other huge names in the industry that followed in her footsteps were Angelina Jolie who headed to Namibia for her c-section, and Britney Spears who was scared out of vaginal birth after her mom told her how much it hurt. Celebs have been quick to discuss c-sections but there aren't many talking about the bloody horror joys of vaginal birth.

For the rest of us non-celebrity women, we'll most likely have to settle for whatever our insurance will pay for. So in most cases I'm pretty sure vaginal vanity wouldn't justify having a c-section as a medical necessity. But if you're worried about the battle scars that will be left on your vajayjay there's still hope. You could always get a new cosmetic surgery procedure that has been rising in popularity over the last few years -- the vaginal rejuvenation. The first time I ever heard of this operation was on Nip/Tuck when Kimber, an ex-porn star wanted to "freshen up" her lady bits. But this new form of plastic surgery is becoming more and more common place. It's hard for doctors to keep exact stats because the procedure is often performed by gynecologists who don't keep track of how many they do a year, but Dr. David L. Matlock (from Dr. 90210), who invented vaginal rejuvenation, says he has trained at least 140 doctors in dozens of states and at least 20 countries on how to do this operation.

Dr. Matlock calls his procedure "Designer Laser Vaginoplasty." While that sounds like great fun and all, I think females of the world need to draw the line somewhere. Ladies, we have enough on our plates when it comes to looking good. Do we really need to add vagina makeover to our to-do list???
