The ammount of those surgeries I've heard in the late years is unprecedented. Like giving birth is not normal now and you should be asleep while at it. And it's a hippy thing if you want your children to be born like twenty five thousands of years of (pretty much) success dictate.
And I've seen also the calamities of, at least, the first month of that creature and the mother.
And I've heard stupid excuses like:
"She chose it because she was afraid"
"The doctor recommended it because the baby was big" (not at all big)
"I wanted the baby to be born on the 25th because-insert some stupid reason-" or because the father had to travel on the 26th
Or the stupidest of them all that the doctor wanted to go on vacation two days later so better deliver before and leave.
And others who simply say "I rather not talk about it".
Since it was a violation of their will or something like that...
