I’ve heard so much hoopla about Americans and their love for c-sections in the last few years that I decided to get my opinion out there. I know c-sections are not natural and should only be used in cases of emergency (actually I don’t know this, it’s just what I hear), but weighing up the options, here are the very simple reasons I chose c-section the second time.

Juggling a high-powered career, a marriage, two kids, PTA, etc. and somehow manages to get it all done. That’s fine. I get how difficult that part is. I’m pregnant, tired and emotional, I own my own business, just moved house, have a toddler who wants mama more than anyone else, dog, cat, and now dog sitting, family in town for the holidays… What baffles me is, how does SJP get her nails done?
