Looking back, it sure doesn’t help the singer’s credibility by seeing her jumping and dancing on stage while she was allegedly 4-5 months pregnant. Take a look and tell us what you think.

While I don't really have an opinion on whether the pregnancy was faked or not, I am so damn sick of ignorant fools like this "journalist" acting like women should all be on bed rest throughout their entire damn pregnancy. For being one of the most common events in the world, people really know shit all about it. Most women continue to go about their normal activities throughout the vast majority, if not all, of their pregnancy. Obviously if you're in a job that involves a lot of heavy lifting things might be different, but singing and dancing is not all that difficult at 4-5 months. Hell, for the extremely badass among us it's not too much at 8 months. Anybody remember this?

IKR! Seriously, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, and P!nk were all pregnant and working (many of them touring) during the majority of their pregnancies. Don't see why Beyonce is really anymore special or fragile than they would be. Either way congrats to Beyonce and Jay for making a new life and best wishes to them in that interesting adventure called 'parenthood'.

i think the negative press is because they just turn people off , the whole awards show reveal was a bit much, then all the pics of beyonce with her seemingly removable belly, releasing a new video every week and claiming she shot them all prior to getting pregnant. they bring all the extra attention on themselves, now he already got a song out before the cord drops from the baby navel. anyway congrats to them on having a healthy baby.

How is it any different from other celebrities doing magazine cover shoots announcing their pregnancy, then the magazine cover showing the baby bump, then the TV special about the birth of the baby.

Celebrities have been getting publicity from having babies for years.

We all remember that Vanity Fair cover with Demi Moore.

Whenever a celebrity announces their pregnancy, they're doing it for publicity.

Doesn't matter if it's Beyonce or Jennifer Garner.

Given the unrelenting volume of negative press, it does matter. I think people are genuinely tired of seeing her; the over exposure and hype leading up to the birth of the child can be overwhelming--and excessive.

Happy for them, and I remember when MJ's first child was born, it was a mix of positive and negative. MJ described that the press would not leave him alone.

Anyways I'm happy for Beyonce, she's wanted this for awhile and has accomplished a lot. I know she keeps saying she wants to keep going while having the baby and it's great to stay focused like the other artists have, but she just never went away, and may just change now that she's holding her.

Hov & B just made Will & Jada irrelevant. I want a boy next!

Red Carnation Carter.

I have a solution for that......how about those people get a job or actually do some work at their job for once and stay off of the gossip sites, blogs etc... you won't see or hear about them, problem solved.

great name.. hi my names blu ivy .. have to get used to some of these names ppl give theyre children .. blanket . . blue ivy .. pilot

They should have had the baby at home or at one of those Christian Science facilities rather than disrupt and equally exciting event for those other families. This is what I hate about many celebs, particularly these new money celebs; they think their needs are above and beyond everyone else's. And wtf? A C-Section? Come on Bey, a few crunches and some master cleanse and your waistline would snap right back. Jeez, every celeb and their momma is getting C-Sections *cough* tummy tucks after their first baby. Somebody should tell Bey that most docs only allow for two c-sections and natural birth is not exactly easy after a c-section.

Beyonce’s hospital mates baby-bumped

Lockdown’ infuriates ot...ew parents

Pushy parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z installed bulletproof glass and burly bodyguards at the Upper East Side hospital where their diva daughter was just born — and even booted worried moms and dads out of the neonatal intensive-care unit.

The fuming other parents at Lenox Hill Hospital said they were essentially put on “lockdown” so that the pampered songstress and her party could come and go as they pleased.

“They just used the hospital like it was their own and nobody else mattered,” blasted new dad Neil Coulon, who said his efforts to see his premature, newborn twins in the neonatal ICU were disrupted at least four times by the arrival of Beyoncé and her tiny rap princess, Blue Ivy Carter, over the weekend.

MOMMA: Beyoncé stopped showing off her bump and delivered little Blue Ivy by C-section on Saturday.

CELEBS TAKE TO TWITTER ON BIRTH

Coulon — who is from Jay-Z’s native Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn — said some of his relatives drove 4 1/2 hours to see his girls, only to be shunted aside for Beyoncé.

“They locked us into the NICU and would say, ‘You can’t come out to the hallway for the next 20 minutes.’ When I finally was able to go back out, I went to the waiting room and they’d ushered my family downstairs!

“These are parents who are going through very stressful times,’’ the 39-year-old contractor said of NICU parents. “To have that circus roll into town, having to deal with all this drama because someone is a superstar, isn’t fair.”

Beyonce, 30, and Jay-Z, 42, whose real name is Shawn Carter, welcomed their baby, born by C-section, at the hospital Saturday night.

The child was reportedly named for her dad’s album, “Blueprint” and her mom’s favorite number, 4 — represented by the Roman numeral IV, or “Ivy.”

The duo had already spent the past two months supervising pricey renovations to Beyoncé’s mammoth, fourth-floor recovery digs — including the installation of a bulletproof door to her room, a hospital worker told The Post.

The windows in her reserved wing on that floor were darkened with what appeared to be special curtains or tape to prevent anyone looking in.

“Her room is bulletproof. It’s custom-made,” a staffer said, noting that the couple sent in a security team “a couple of months ago” to evaluate the accommodations.

“They came in and reconstructed it. It’s completely different,’’ said the employee.

But the real drama surrounding Blue Ivy’s long-awaited arrival began Friday night, when Beyoncé checked in under the name Ingrid Jackson and settled into her sixth-floor delivery suite to have the baby.

Windows in the NICU down the hall were blacked out with tape and temporary curtains so that nobody could see the comings and goings of the VIPs at the other end of the hallway.

Beyoncé has “her own security, and hospital security,” a Lenox Hill employee noted.

By last night, Blue Ivy and her mom had been moved back down to their special pad on the fourth floor, where the Grammy-winning new mom and rapper dad showed her off to friends, the employee said.

A makeup artist also was spotted going up with several bags in tow, and lunch was special-delivered from a local burger joint and gourmet market.

A Lenox Hill spokeswoman said that the hospital has special patient suites and that rooms can be reserved. She declined to give the cost, but said published reports that Jay-Z shelled out $1.3 million for “an entire floor” were exaggerated — although she wouldn’t specify by how much.

Last night, at least four security guards stood watch at the hospital’s fourth-floor elevator bank, where new parents and grandparents were still voicing their frustrations over security measures that delayed or completely prevented them from visiting.

“People are really upset and complaining,” said the hospital worker, noting that the medical staff has to “shut down” whenever there’s movement on Beyoncé’s part.

Reps for Jay-Z and Beyoncé did not respond to requests for comment.

Beyonce Blue Ivy's Birth was 'Natural'

Beyonce says she gave birth to Blue Ivy the same way women have been giving birth for thousands of years ... naturally -- insisting she did NOT get a C-section.

There were reports the singer birthed Blue with the help of a scalpel -- but Bey and Jay-Z released a joint statement moments ago, claiming, Blue "was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives."

The couple adds, "Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support

This coming from a woman with a disappearing baby bump. I love Bey but I think she lying out her wig.

An extremely peaceful and heavenly birthing experience? Last time I checked vaginal child birth hurt like a mother fucker no matter how doped up you are.

Blue Ivy goes home! Beyonce, Jay-Z leave Lenox Hill Hospital with bouncing baby daughter in tow An elaborate car choreography was orchestrated for the couple's wee-hour departure Comments (22) By Vic Nicastro AND Christina Boyle / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Tuesday, January 10 2012, 10:40 AM Beyonce checked into the hospital Friday night using the name Ingrid Jackson, a hospital staffer told the Daily News. .New parents Beyonce and Jay-Z and their bouncing bundle of joy, baby Blue, left Lenox Hill Hospital Tuesday, officials there confirmed. A procession of vehicles with blacked-out windows made a speedy exit from the upper East Side hospital’s side gate in the wee hours of Tuesday, witnesses said. Two black SUVs motored quickly out of the facility’s E. 76th St. loading dock at 1:30 a.m. Moments later, a van parked on a nearby corner reversed into the same loading dock, and the large roll-down gate closed. The gate reopened a few minutes later and the van drove out, turned the wrong way on the one-way 76th St., and then headed north on Park Ave. One of the two SUVs blocked traffic on Park Ave. so the van would not be impeded. The second SUV pulled in behind the van, apparently to prevent anyone from following the music icons and their newborn daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Vehicle believed to be carrying Beyonce and Jay-Z and their newborn daughter exits Lenox Hill Hospital loading dock early Tuesday. (Vic Nicastro for New York Daily News) It was “very precise, very military-like,” one witness said. “Immediately, security personnel began leaving the hospital.” Beyonce, 30, checked into the hospital Friday night using the name Ingrid Jackson, a hospital staffer told the Daily News. The couple brought their own bodyguards. The child was born Saturday night on the sixth floor, near the neonatal intensive-care unit, sources said. Lenox Hill staffers, speaking anonymously, told The News that Beyonce and Jay-Z paid $1.3 million to seal off and redecorate a wing at the facility. Several new parents said they were delayed for hours in seeing their newborns by the couple’s security guards. Lenox Hill Hospital dismissed these reports, saying in a statement, “The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security. Lenox Hill also said the “Crazy in Love” singer and her husband, whose real name is Shawn Carter, were in an “executive suite” and billed the standard rate for that type of accommodation. “Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family,” hospital spokesman Frank Danza said. .

Then they can look over it or kill themselves. The latter would probably be more beneficial.

One won't see or hear much more of that with her than one does with any other celebrity unless they go looking for it. If they have some problem, that's their problem. Can't change anyone else's behavior but your own.

The epidural has to be administered almost immediately upon arrival at the hospital, which is precisely what we did. Thereafter, my better half raised those hips and delivered our daughter without a single bead of sweat.

Trust me I've been in the room with relatives and girlfriends giving birth and they have had the shot and have STILL been in pain. Shit I was in pain just looking at them babies coming out. GROSS! The epidural is meant to lessen the pain not make it disappear.

On a side note, if a woman routinely exercises during pregnancy that can help with the birthing experience. Seems being in shape helps. My cousin did yoga all throughout her pregancy and her recovery was quite quick. She still cusses like a sailor when the baby's head was coming out. Can't say I blame her either.
