CELEB: Britney Spears Gives Birth to Baby Boy

Britney Spears gave birth to a baby boy today at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. This is the second child for Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline. The as yet unnamed baby joins big brother, Sean Preston, who will turn one year old on September 14th.

Spears wanted to give birth to the new baby through Cesarean section on the 14th so her children would have the same birthday, but Federline put his foot down, insisting the children have separate birthdays.

Congrats to the parents, and their new Cheeto.


Britney and her un-amused younger sister, Jamie-Lynn.

geez that's insane forcing the kid out with a c-section because it seems fun to have them share a birthday.

she's just retarded... but she was going to have a c-section anyway so it wasn't ENTIRELY for a birthday's sake.

i feel for britney.
when she snaps out of her k-fed trance shes gonna need all the support she can get.
having all the money in the world doesn't even make her situation appealing to me.

I feel dirty just reading about her having kids with K-Fed. I think I need to go take another shower now...

Good lord. Has she resorted to breeding a new fan base?

Which one's the pregnant one?

Didn't John Lennon and Yoko do that with Sean Lennon so he'd share John's birthday? Something about it being good luck? In restrospect, it doesn't so much seem like it was. But I thought I read that somewhere.

I'm a man so I really have little say in the matter, but I'm sad she voluntarily choose a C-Section again. That's not the way to experience childbirth.

luck and serendipity are two things. to synchronize events for the sake of remembrance is something i've done in my own life from time to time; timing return visits to places i've been, and so on and so forth. my bet is that if they did this indeed, then Sean's birthday each year is filled with its measure of joy and bittersweetness. what was the quote from The Crow? "No-one is gone as long as you remember them"?

anyway. nothing to do with Britney. but good to ponder!

hahaha the pic is priceless.Her sister is looking at her like, "god I will never be this dumb." Kevin Federline.. what a joke, putting his foot down?! This just shows you that this relationship is doomed. I feel bad for the kids. the white "bobby and whitney" or if we are lucky maybe Ike and Tina.

I'd say you should withhold that comment until you've had to give birth to a child. As though having the kid inside you for nine months, you're saying you'd rather have your wife go through hours of excrutiating pain so she has the "correct" experience of child-birth?

it just goes to show you if you have cash, you can even do things like have your kid on a certain date.
sick....

As I said, I have little say in the matter, but I think C-Sections are way to prevalent in the US, not to mention they have higher risks of complications including: death, infection, and post-partum depression.

I wouldn't force a mother to do anything, but I certainly wouldn't recommend that she go through a major surgical procedure, especially when it isn't necessary.

Elective C-Sections have been on the rise for a while now, with women choosing them in an effort to avoid post-birth problems like incontinence, and also to maintain some semblance of control over their schedules. It disturbs me, because it's so invasive, and because it pretty much totally disconnects a mother (and father, for that matter) from the natural birth process. They can also be a real bitch to recover from, from what I've heard. Sometimes they're literally a life saver in emergency situations, but a recent study seems to point to some serious dangers when it comes to elective C-Sections. I'll bet Britney was planning to tell people that her sons were twins, born a year apart. Too bad K-Fed rained on her baby-birthin' parade.

I feel... all sorts of icky after reading that.

Her first son was born via c-section as well, and from what she told Elle magzine, it seems it was very elective.

Kuato Spears Federline?

i give her 3 months (max) before papa zao knocks her up again..

You guys know what time it is right?

My child birth experience was beautiful, I suffered very little, I stuck it out throught the contractions and they had me on pitocine to speed my labor along which causes harder longer contractions. I didn't ask for the epidural until my contactions spiked into the 200 range on the meter and by then my daughter was midway down the birth canal because apparently I had been pushing in my sleep. I didn't scream or cry or curse my boyfriend...I just squeezed his hand whenever the contractions jumped into a high number and breathed in through my nose and out through my mouth just like my lamaze coach taught me. The only bad part about my labor is I tore my vaginal opening a little and my daughter didn't cry, she was all blue when she came out and no one would tell me what was wrong with her....she had the cord wrapped around her neck and wasn't breathing she was rushed to the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit and was there for two days before I could hold her....that was the only real pain of my labor and dilevery. It's not excrusiating though, in fact I found it as almost peaceful until that high point of my daughter being out and not crying at all.
