C-section babies are much cuter, too. Their heads are rounder :)

thats almost as good a reason to have one as the woman who wanted to get a tax credit for her baby being born in 2008 which is to say ITS NOT A GOOD REASON AT ALL.....

What is wrong with women (and men) in this country that they think a C-section unless absolutely necessary is ever better for the baby or mother? Note our C-section rate is ridiculously high and unjustifiable considering lesser developed countries have lower c-section rates and lower infant mortality rates than the US. This country ranks 31st in least infant mortality rates, clearly we have a problem but do nothing to fix it except perpetrate the myth that giving birth is basically a disease needing medical intervention and treatment.

Wouldn't a much more honest headline have read "Early C-Sections pose more risks to babies" or "C-Sections less risky when close to due date"?

"C-Sections best for babies...."? Sheesh....

Yikes. Of course major abdominal surgery is preferable to the way nature intended ! So much more convenient caring for a baby afterward too ! If a c-section is actually necessary, it is a blessing. But
just because a woman is 'very over being pregnant ' ? I thought that in the normal course of things, labor and delivery was the way to get over being pregnant. Silly me.
