J-Lo’s Post Partum Woes
Darla Khazei, PacificCoastNews.com
Jennifer Lopez is seen here looking fabulous as ever at the Marc Jacobs runway show for New York Fashion Week. And by the looks of it here, you would never guess that she has been struggling with great difficulty with the new mommy thing. In fact, there is even speculation that she may have had some post partum depression to contend with after giving birth to her twins earlier this year. This news all boils down to a profile that was posted on a Tina Brown website known as The Daily Beast and it was a profile of Jennifer that was to appear in a major fashion magazine and highlighted the ins and outs of her struggles with motherhood. But as soon as Jennifer got wind of it, she snapped her perfectly manicured fingers and had the profile taken down, but not before we got a look at it. The profile discussed the dark days for Jennifer following the birth of her twins, Emme and Max, in February. She experienced a hormone rollercoaster that coupled with the recovery of a Caesarian section left her ‘weak’. By about ten days post delivery, she described herself as crying a lot because she was in pain, and couldn’t get up fast enough to feed the babies. She actually felt at one point that her children would know everyone else better before they had a chance to get to know her because she was not able to get to them as quickly as she’d like. Well you know, when you have a bevy of servants at your fingertips, there IS the slightest possibility that that could happen. But everyone knows how driven Jennifer is when it comes to doing a million things at once, parenting, dancing, designing, etc., so it is no surprise that she may put a little too much pressure on herself in the process. The profile on The Daily Beast also discussed earlier pre-baby issues that put Jennifer in not such a good light, like the one where she was said to have a nervous breakdown on the set of ‘Enough’ and had to be carried away by her bodyguard. And then there was a discussion about how Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony got $6 million for baby photos of their twins, and put that into a trust instead of giving it to charity like the big hearts in the Brangelinas did. And these were just a few tidbits that sought to bring down the J-Lo, but she quashed them as quickly as she could. You always have to wonder what spurs celebrity reaction. If it wasn’t true, or not a big deal, why would she be rushing to put a lid on it? Hm…
