Celebrities Who Had C Section Delivery

Most celebrities push for normal deliveries because they want to recover quickly. Most celebrities also fear the c section scar that usually doesn't go away without cosmetic surgery. However, a surprising number of celebrities have had c section deliveries too. The first celebrity mom to start the trend of caesarean section was Victoria Beckham also known as Posh Spice. She gave birth to the phrase, "too posh to push".

Some celebrities have c section deliveries out of medical necessities, while others opt for it. Giving birth naturally is always looked upon as the epitome of achievement for a woman. It is the hard way to approach motherhood. C section is an easier way to deliver your baby. But some celebrity moms like Angelina Jolie disagree with this. Angelina feels that caesarean makes recovery after child birth difficult.

While some celebrities who had c section flaunt it as a proof of how magically one's body works, some famous moms are embarrassed to admit that they could push their baby. Kate Winslet, who is a mother of three, lied about her first baby. She said he had a natural birth but later she confirmed that she has a c section.

If you are worried that a c section delivery will make it impossible for you to get back in shape, then just take a look at these gorgeous celebrity moms.
