Christina A opens up about being opened up

In the latest edition of Hello! Christina Aguilera talks about having an elective caesar because she was too scared to give birth vaginally. She says:

"I'd heard horror stories about tearing. I really wanted a calm and peaceful environment. I didn't want any surprises."

Uh huh. Calm and peaceful is pretty easy when you can't feel the lower half of your body and there is a big screen shielding you from the view of your own body splayed open. Sure, squeezing a big baby from a tiny opening and tearing is no walk in the park, but one wonders why the thought of having one's abdominal muscles cut in half isn't viewed as a far more horrifying prospect?

This is literally the 'money' shot. Christina Aguilera and new baby Max posing for Hello! magazine.

Hmm. Seeing as how she is trying to cultivate a more 'natural', 'motherly' look, one wonder if she has her makeup artist(s) on permanent retainer.

And where are the nannies in the shot? Of course being a mother is great when you can hire people to look after your baby for you:

"I'm enjoying him every second. I can't stop staring at him, studying him. You can't believe you created this. Me and my husband couldn't be happier."
