Beyonce & Jay-Z expecting their first child

Someone needs to photoshop a little tiny nose, beedy black eyes, and some whiskers on Liza's face. She looks like a little rat or mole person. My Lord!!

Someone sure lubed up Beyonce to get her in that dress. Damn! Try a size or so bigger until you lose some more weight, woman.

i didn't get a compression garment after my c-section but it's not a bad idea.

mel, your tummy will get smaller in time. i swore i would need a tummy tuck but it really did decrease in size, it just takes a while.

How long a while, exactly?

i lost the weight pretty quickly but it took a while for the puffiness to go away. i would say at least 6-9 months. can't explain it, it wasn't just diet. doing ab work (eg, planks) helped, but i think the core tightens up on its own timeline. at least that's the way it worked for me. but didn't you have a second one?

I was given a compression garment following my hysterectomy. I like to think it helped me hold my guts in for about six weeks.

So you mean to tell me that if my medical peeps had the foresite to give me one of those compression thingy that I wouldn't have the kangaroo pouch I have today??? Muthaf***er!!!!

I believe the compression garment is recommended for any abdominal surgery.

I had a csection and no one ever said anything about the compression garment afterwards.

How long ago?

**darksithbunny** · February 9th, 2012, 08:50 AM

7 years this year. I think it's far too late for the compression and no way I can afford a tummy tuck

i think pretty much every woman i know who gave birth (c-section or vaginal delivery) was told to wear a compression garment after, but usually by nurses or other female relatives, rarely by doctors themselves. don't know if they all managed to wear them the entire time because they're pretty uncomfortable.

Beyonce and Jay Z are not messing around when it comes to their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. According to sources, the parents are going as far as applying for a patent to trademark the name of their newest addition.

The Washington Post reports that on January 26, the new parents applied for a U.S Patent and Trademark Office to “protect” their baby’s name “for future baby line items” including strollers, diaper bags and other such baby items.

Ironically, they are not the first to want to put a patent on the baby’s name. According to the site, Fashion Designer Joseph Mbeh also submitted a patent to trademark “Blue Ivy Carter NYC.” And, on January 20, another submission to patent “Blue Ivy Carter Glory IV” was both filed and denied by the office stating that it belonged to a “very famous infant.”

Another source notes that in Wisconsin, a company known as “The Blue Ivy Company” was already established in 2011, prior to the announcement of Jay Z and Beyonce’s little one’s arrival. The problem, the company will not stand a chance if it wants to start selling its own clothing line.

The patent is estimated to take anywhere from four to six months for approval. It’s obviously a smart decision that the pair got on ball before anyone else could pull a fast one on the power couple.

What do you think about Beyonce and Jay Z patenting their daughters name?
