Wow - it's amazing to me the feedback on this subject. How about a little "to each his own?" There is no right or wrong way to do it. It is personal preference. Lamaze has NOTHING TO DO with giving birth PROPERLY. I took lamaze and it DID NOT WORK FOR ME. I gave birth 'properly' as you say and had no problems - all WITHOUT Lamaze.

Secondly - cocoa butter HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT YOU GET STRETCH MARKS. It is mostly hereditary. I used cocoa butter (and it's vitamin E, maybe a little D ;o) up the wazoo and wound up with them. So there you have it.

Thirdly - There are risks with C-sections, like the possibility of it it not healing properly and losing the ability to have a taught stomach. Probably much less of a problem now, but still can happen. If the muscles don't heal right, you will never be able to have a flat stomach again.

Again, everyone is different, the point is to educate yourself and listen to others opinions. They just might teach you something ;o)

BTW - Yes, I have 2 children...
