Angelina Jolie’s delivery of her daughter in Namibia on Saturday was via a C-section overseen by her obstetrician, who was flown in from Los Angeles, People magazine reported Tuesday. Those were among the new details of the birth that emerged Tuesday, confirming our belief that, despite widespread technological advancements that have nearly covered the globe, it was still a very slow news day.
Anyway, Jolie’s obstetrician, Dr. Jason Rothbart, whose name sounds like he should be part of a “Dilbert” cartoon strip, told People he was flown in to deliver the baby by C-section due to breech presentation, an occurrence in which the baby’s feet or back end, rather than head, lines up to emerge first from the birth canal. Sounds pretty traumatic, but Rothbart said everything went well and Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt arrived a healthy, 7-pound girl.

The Britney Bashing continuees
PITY poor, pregnant pop tart Britney Spears. Madame Tussauds has jumped on the Britney-bashing bandwagon with a sexy, skinny wax likeness of the singer - cheekily dubbed “vintage” in contrast to her current frazzled, curler-wearing look. The museum also kicked off a marketing blitz imploring fans to sign petitions to save the Louisiana native “from herself, from her husband and from her relentless fertility.” Ouch! In another kick below the mom-to-be’s burgeoning belt, Tussauds is begging Brit to bring back the “happier times” when she was “single, sexy and svelte.”
I have never been a huge Britney Spears fan; she captured the young teen and pre-teen audience and I was a young adult at the time. That being said, I do not feel anyone has the right to bash a mother and pregnant woman about her appearance. She has a son that is not even a year and now she is pregnant. Pregnancy causes a lot of changes in a woman’s body. Give her a chance to just be a mom and be pregnant. When she is doing something to endanger her children, something should definately be said. The situation of her figure ,or any pregnant woman’s figure ,should be left alone.

New federal guidelines ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves — and to be treated by the health care system — as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon.
Among other things, this means all women between first menstrual period and menopause should take folic acid supplements, refrain from smoking, maintain a healthy weight and keep chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes under control.
