hot trend: water births?!

One of my guilty pleasures: celebrity gossip magazines. I rarely get to read them (what is this thing you call free time?), so this is from an old magazine that came out months ago, but in case you didn’t notice it.…

Water births are a hot trend! Someone tell Posh Spice and her scheduled c-sections that she’s losing. She’s out. Gisele, Jennifer and Selma are in.
