Finally some sensible celebrity advice:
Camilla Alves, partner of Matt McConaughey, had this to say about being pregnant and having a caesar in an interview with BabyCenter:
"It’s a hard thing to be pregnant. Your hormones are crazy. Your body is changing. It’s a major change. I really enjoyed being pregnant, but I certainly didn’t love it."
"If there’s any advice I could give to a pregnant women, it’d be to have a natural birth. With c-sections, there’s a lot of pain and recovery is not fun. You already went through the whole pregnancy, and you don’t want to sit around for six to eight weeks in recovery. I don’t understand why healthy women go in and schedule a c-section."
"Women need to give their bodies time to rest. I really recommend that a woman who has the time, take that time to rest, because you’re not getting much sleep."

Placenta: it's what's for dinner?
Camila Alves had a long labour: 60 hours. She ended up with a caesar but Matt McConaughey told CNN that he kept the placenta and will bury it based on an Aboriginal ritual he learned about in Australia:"It's going to bear some wonderful fruit," said the 38-year-old.
"When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river," he added. "It was gorgeous."
"All the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength.
"This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it."
I find it odd that this sort of story makes the news. I think the implication is that it's weird and slightly funny that someone would actually want to keep a placenta. Most of the reader comments to the story say as much, most read along the lines of 'Ew'.A few women in my study had a lotus birth, eventually burying the placenta or eating it.
What did you do with your placenta?

Matthew McConaughey: 'we' or 'she'??
Talk about two slow news days. Matthew McConaughey and his partner Camila Alves are on the cover of Ok! with their new baby, Levi. Not very whiz bang exciting but I am interested in the fact that Matthew is the focus of the article. Sure he's the 'celebrity' but she's the one that had the damn baby and very oddly, he answers most of the questions about the birth. Poor gal ended up with a caesar because the docs told her a cord around the neck was making it too dangerous to give birth 'naturally':
"We ended up having an epidural because, on the large contractions, the umbilical cord was being compressed. They went in and tried the vacuum. This is where I learned — and no one tells you this — but having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing! And I mean that as a beautiful thing. It is wild. But the vacuum didn't work, and the doctor said, 'C-section.'
