From my recent experiences with childbirth over the last decade or so, the topic (for non-religious purposes) seems to be becoming progressively more taboo. For our most recent child, the only times I ever saw it come up were when indecisive parents asked about it on bulletin boards and when the delivering doctor asked us our decision on the matter. The books barely mentioned it, much less advocated it.
