Beyonce is pregnant! *Update gave birth to baby girl*

[CielDeLit]

Its not a "PR move". She just simply want to show the world that she is having a baby and is really happy.

Sweet

+1 Beyonce just got a baby and the only time she really let people in regarding her life she is being bashed. I loved her last album and DVD more because of that glimpse into who she truly is. Plus compared to other HW stars she was pretty low key. If she was the one having a miscarriage, I can understand why she wanted to keep the news to herself until being at least 6 month pregnant and it's not her fault if she didn't show that much the early days. It all depends of the women body. Someone posted a few pages back about the wrinkling of the dress saying she had seen more bizarre pictures of herself while being pregnant but those silly rumours keep spreading around. Now Beyonce had a surrogate... So much hate and irrationality.

I don´t think anyone here is bashing her, we´re just talking rumours and discussing possibilities. I don´t think that talking about a possible surrogate constitutes bashing, it´s just gossip
Or it could be that this is just a thread for fans to congratulate them, then yes this type of talk has nothing to do here.

The highlighted part I don´t get, if she wanted privacy why did she announce her pregnancy in that way at the awards? why did Jay Z wrote a song about her miscarriage and released it around the time of the birth?
It´s not uncommon to do such things in HW but let´s not pretend they were/are low key about it

I love how people complain about 'bashing' of someone we don't know, yet they go on and on gushing about the baby/Bey/etc as if Bey is their sister. None of us really 'care' that much, but celebrity gossip is fun, especially something potentially as juicy as this, lol.

As others have pointed out, Bey and her team are sending a mixed message here. One minute they reveal the pregnancy in front of the whole world on a red carpet, the next minute they want privacy by closing off hospital floor and not letting other parents in, the very next minute they tweet personal statements and release songs about it.

Then you have the folding dress incident. Whether you want to admit it or not, the whole thing looked FISHY. I've read statements by a lot of people who claimed to have been pregnant at some point and they all said that (1) you don't sit down like that and (2) the stomach/dress wouldn't collapse like that. So at the very least, there was some padding, if not a fake belly. Then you have Bey's reaction to the whole thing. It's as if she's got caught in an act.

Add to it, the incident where Katie touches her stomach. I agree it's weird that people just touch your stomach when they feel like it. But Bey has never struck me as someone who'd be scared of someone like Katie Couric (this is not just a random folk on the street) touching her belly. Yet, the reaction from Bey was strange and alarming.

Then the birth itself. At first it was reported to be a C-section, then it's a natural birth (I know, I know, don't believe everything you read), which is funny in that it's easier to tell if someone's had a C-section. Then the whole business with not letting phones, not letting other parents to see their kids, etc. I know other celebs have taken out the entire floor (Maria Carey), but there was never anything of that other stuff.

Other stuff like, Bey didn't seem to have gained any weight. Their official statement sounds strange. Finding out she's had a miscarriage in the past (makes a surrogate even more rational, imo). The persistancy of this 'rumor'. That's a lot of evidence suggesting there is something there.

^exactly. And there's no 'hate' here... They put they're business out there(the song was a little "extra" if you ask me). I still want to know if they're profiting from the song about their baby.

Why not just go to a private clinic? There are ton of them in Connecticut. Brad and Angelina always did that and also paid to have their own doctor flown in.

I think Angelina had kids in south of France (Nice) in a very normal clinic and did not closed the whole floor as well...

They actually did close the whole floor and their 1st doctor refused so they had to change the clinic and the doctor. She also said during her 1st pregnancy that it was why she didn't want to have Shiloh in the USA but in Africa because she would more shielded from the intrusion.

She was pregnant and instead of releasing a PR statement she announced it herself once she felt ready and thought it was the right time. Her husband wrote a song about the baby, tons of artists write song about their wedding/love etc and no one complains. They didn't release exclusive picture of their child and made money from it. I am just saying that it's quite weird to see people thinking about surrogate and dark schemes just because of one unfortunate image.

I think there is a difference between saying I am pregnant and wanting to shield your child as much as you can. As for the tweeting, none of them tweeted anything. It's not their fault if their friend decided to announce the news before them (Rihanna, Gwyneth etc). I mean come on Paltrow confirmed the name and all of the child before Jay Z even had the time to write his statement.
Anyway, I am running in circles.

I went back and watched the video of Beyonce on the Australian show, and you can see as she's moving toward the chair that the dress is too big and the part over her bump looks like it caught a draft and is floating away from her body. That part of the dress is what collapses when she sits down. You can see this most easily in the repeat video ...

Gah! Can a woman not have a baby? Can a father not gush about his new born daughter? Must we be so cynical?

Amen!

Ditto. I really am baffled

Btw

NEW YORK — State health officials on Wednesday dismissed complaints that patients in a hospital neonatal unit were mistreated while Beyonce was there giving birth to her and Jay-Z's daughter.
They had received two complaints about Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital, one made anonymously, the other from someone who had learned about the matter through the media, a health department spokesman said. Officials reviewed the complaints and dismissed them Wednesday night, spokesman Jeffrey Gordon said without elaborating.
The hospital, a popular choice for the rich and famous from late philanthropist Brooke Astor to "30 Rock" star Tina Fey, said it was conducting its own probe.
Beyonce gave birth to the couple's baby, Blue Ivy Carter, at the hospital on Saturday.
Media reports said Beyonce and Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, paid $1 million to take over a floor and their security guard blocked parents from the neonatal unit for hours. The hospital denied the reports, saying the couple paid the standard rate for an executive suite without disclosing what that is.
One new mother, Rozz Nash-Coulon, told The Associated Press that her twins, born Dec. 28, were in the neonatal unit and, starting Friday, intense security measures made it a struggle to see them as guards directed hallway traffic.
"Once they checked in there was high security everywhere," she said Monday. "It looked like the president was on our floor. The hospital's security cameras were taped over. Internal windows from the hallways into the ward were blacked out."
The hospital's executive director was heading up its own inquiry into the complaints, hospital spokeswoman Barbara Osborn said. The hospital was interviewing parents who had children in the newborn wing when Jay-Z and Beyonce were there, she said.
"We have spoken to seven out of the 10," she said. "None have reported being stopped from seeing their babies."
She confirmed that security cameras were briefly taped over when the Carter family was being moved, "but only when a security guard was present" on the fourth floor, where the neonatal unit is located. She declined to say why they were taped over.
She said that other parents at the unit did notice "enhanced security." But she said none felt restricted from accessing the unit or any other at the hospital.
Jay-Z confirmed the birth of the couple's daughter in a song released on his social website Life and Times on Monday.

the next minute they want privacy by closing off hospital floor and not letting other parents in

That was already reported that is was false. They were just in an executive suite. I can't at people who still say bs even when it is already confirmed to be untrue.

^exactly. And there's no 'hate' here... They put they're business out there(the song was a little "extra" if you ask me). I still want to know if they're profiting from the song about their baby.

Ermmm no, its free and a lot of radios pick the song up so now it is charting. And the song is not extra at all. Some people send photos, cards or wtv, Jay just made a song.

Why not just go to a private clinic? There are ton of them in Connecticut. Brad and Angelina always did that and also paid to have their own doctor flown in.

Of course you can do all those things. But when they claim to want privacy, and then announce your private business to the whole world in a most calculated fashion, then it looks fishy, no? You can't have it both ways. Either you want privacy and keep these things private or you share everything with the world and then invite everyone to chip in.

That was already reported that is was false. They were just in an executive suite. I can't at people who still say bs even when it is already confirmed to be untrue.

This is a "Rumor has it..." section of tFS. There have been rumors that parents couldn't or had difficulties seeing their newborns because of Bey. Whether you choose to believe that or not is your right, but some of us like to discuss those rumors. Besides, something that's "confirmed" by a celebrity's PR person is usually no more reliable than gossip. What are they going to say "yeah, we made it a b*tch for other patients"? I choose to take all 'official' statements from PR people with a grain of salt. You can choose to believe everything they tell you. No harm in that.

 

[ForTheLoveOfRock]

^ lol true they would never admit to any of it. They weren't even like "oh we didn't know it created such a mess for other parents and we would like to apologize" yet when the whole fake pregnancy thing with the dress happened they b did come out with a statement saying something along the lines of "we won't comment on such ridiculous rumors." I also find it interesting that b and jays rumors have almost neverrrr made it to mainstream media. E! And those other shows all reported on the pregnancy rumors. There have always been rumors of jay z cheating on b(especially early in their relationship) and they've never made it to mainstream. For example, it's said that Free(tv personality) from 106 and park got fired after she had an affair w jay and then disappeared off tv completely. Yet this admittedly ridiculous(in nature, not truth) rumor is still around. Hmmm...
