Kim Kardashian-West Canceled her Baby Shower to Support Lamar Odom during his Hospitalization

Posted on October 18, 2015

Kim Kardashian-West was supposed to have a “Troop Beverly Hills” -themed baby shower this weekend at her friend, Allison Azoff’s, Beverly Hills’ estate.

The Keeping up With The Kardashians reality TV star canceled it to be with her sister Khloe Kardashian‘s estranged husband Lamar Odom, E! News reports.

Last week, the ex NBA player who also starred in 20 seasons of the reality TV show Khloe and Lamar, was found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel from an alleged overdose on a drug or a combination of drugs he took during his 4-day stay.

Although the couple have signed divorce papers, because they are not yet officially divorced, Khloe remained his next of kin and entitled to make medical decisions for him while Odom was incapacitated.

We loved seeing the couple together when they starred in the show and their love for one another seemed apparent. The marriage appears to have unraveled partially due to Odom’s toxic habits. This week, Khloe showed her devotion during his miraculous recovery.

It was great to see the entire Kardashian and Jenner family rally around Odom and ask their fans for prayers and support. It was unfortunate however, that there were scant stories reporting on Odom’s non-celebrity family, like his dad, grandmom and children’s comments and official statements.

But it is fair to assume, that the celebrity part of his life is what makes people care more and the Kardashian family are media magnets.

Why Kim Kardashian West says Pregnancy is ‘The Worst Experience’ of Her Life

Posted on October 6, 2015

Not all women enjoy pregnancy. Second time mom-to-be Kim Kardashian is no different.

The reality TV star took to her website to pen a blog post titled, “From the Desk Of: How I Really Feel About Being Pregnant.”

In it the 7-months pregnant paparazzi magnet bemoans all the horrors of pregnancy.

“I’m gonna keep it real: For me, pregnancy is the worst experience of my life! LOL!” Kardashian wrote on her post yesterday, Monday, Oct. 5. “I don’t enjoy one moment of it and I don’t understand people who enjoy it.”

She went on to list the various ailments that go with pregnancy as the source of her disdain for the baby incubation process.

“Maybe it’s the swelling, the backaches or just the complete mindf—k of how your body expands and nothing fits,” she continued. “I just always feel like I’m not in my own skin.”

The biz mogul and much sought after starlet seemed to be upset she wasn’t warned about it all before.

“People just don’t tell you all of the gross things that happen during pregnancy or after. Do you know you basically have to wear a diaper for two months afterwards?!” Kardashian added. “LOL! No one told me that! #SoSexy.”

But in the end, despite all the aches and discomforts, she ends her rant saying it is all worth it.

“Really, it is all SO worth it when you have your precious baby in the end! So for all my complaining, it’s 100 percent worth it and more!!!”

We know of several women who did not like the process and she is not the first celebrity to keep it real and open up about not enjoying the process.

People like my mother in law would tell women who can have babies to not complain because there are so many infertile and other couple’s trying to conceive who would gladly trade in their situation for the privilege of getting to be pregnant…even with the problems.

But in the end of the day, women have the right to vent and share openly and shouldn’t be boxed into keeping shut to not upset someone else.

Just our thoughts on the situation because we see her critics saying if she complained about not getting pregnant easily this second round then she has no right ot complain once she does become pregnant.

Why Kim Kardashian Likely WON’T Give Birth on Christmas

Posted on September 29, 2015

The entire Internet seemed to go berserk this afternoon because of a report from TMZ that Kim Kardashian is due on December 25, Christmas Day.

It would be ironic since that is known as the day Jesus was born and one of Kanye West‘s monikers is Yeezus. And its going to be a boy!

I hate to break it to the uninitiated but a due date is but an estimate and most women do not give birth on that date. Only 1 in 30 women give birth on their actual due date.

WebMD states that a mere 5% of women give birth on their due date.

Unless she plans to schedule a Ceaseran section and purposefully disrupt many nurses and doctor’s Christmas plans, there is no telling when she will have her son.

So calm down. She may, but not likely.

Kim Kardashian Updates & Puts Morning Sickness Ad back Up

Posted on August 31, 2015

Today, Kim Kardashian put back up on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram the morning sickness ad that the US Food and Drug Administration made her take down for failure to state the side effects. She added the missing information about the side effects of the drug and the fact it hadn’t been tested on women with the most extreme form of morning sickness

The makers of Diclegis for extreme morning sickness should actually be glad the FDA stepped in. The amount of press the ad got because it was taken down had surpassed the number of people that follow Kim Kardashian on social media.

It harkens back to the old adage about there not being any such thing as bad publicity.

Anyway, one of my family members in her first trimester of pregnancy and she asked a group of us in an online forum for advice, and several people who are not Kim K fans and followers suggested Diclegis, partially because they had seen it discussed in the news related to the take down. There you go!

Anyway, the family member I’m referencing was also very happy to learn that the side effect to the drug is excess drowsiness because she is already too tired at work, naturally because of the pregnancy. She decided her level of morning sickness is not that severe that she would need to take a drug that would cause additional fatigue. She is going to try traditional relief remedies first. The drug is for women, for whom, traditional methods like changing diet, eating small mini meals, snacking on almonds, taking peppermint, ginger or eating things like preggie pops or wearing sea bands do not work.

Hence, the family member’s experience also exemplified what FDA warned about….the importance of having full disclosure in ads for pharmaceutical drugs.

FDA Shuts Down Kim Kardashian’s Morning Sickness Instagram Ad

Posted on August 19, 2015

The US Federal Trade Commission has long regulated commercial content and advertisement in mass media and, in recent years, social media and blogs.

Recently, the Food and Drug Administration has been forced to jump into the regulation of social media business thanks to second time mom-to-be Kim Kardashian.

The reality TV star Instagrammed a “commercial” for Diclegis, a morning sickness medicine without disclosing all of the side effects, even though she did indicate she was paid.

With 43.5 million followers on that social media platform alone, the Keeping up With the Kardashian reality TV star had the ear of millions of women, many who had “liked” the post.

With only a small square of space to work with and a comment section, Kardashian did not have room (or forgot) to mention some of the required side effect disclosures of the drug like increased drowsiness and effect from interactions with alcohol, excitement, irritability and sedation in infants who breastfeed from women taking the drug and most importantly that the drug had never been tested for use with hyperemesis gravidarum, the most severe form of morning sickness.

Faced with “FDA regulatory action, including seizure or injunction, without further notice,” Kardashian has since deleted the post, though not before it gained 434,000 likes, endadget reported.

Bump Watch: Kim Kardashian Instagrams Nude Maternity Selfie

Posted on August 11, 2015

Second-time mom-to-be Kim Kardashian took to Instagram to share a nude self-portrait of herself showing off her 5-month pregnant form.

The reality TV star and business mogul seemed to want to silence those claiming she was using a surrogate and not really pregnant.

Nori West’s mom captioned the photo:

“First they say I’m too skinny so I have to be faking it…Now they say I’m too big so I have to be faking it…SMH! Some days I’m photographed before I eat & I look bigger. It’s all a part of the process.

“I think you all know me well enough to know I would document the process if I got a surrogate. Everyone’s body is different, every pregnancy is very different! I’ve learned to love my body at every stage!

“I’m going to get even bigger & that’s beautiful too! I’m blessed to even be pregnant & even luckier to not have preeclampsia as far as I know, so I don’t have the swelling issue this time!

“They also say your body carries a boy different than a girl! Whatever the case may be I’m grateful to God for this miracle & no matter what rumors or comments you throw my way this time they truly don’t affect me! #NoFilter #NoPhotoShop #GoodLighting,”

The Keeping Up with The Kardashians star said she and husband rapper, designer and music producer Kanye West struggled mildly with infertility before getting pregnant with their soon-to-be-born son.

Kim Kardashian may Soon Be Credited for a Future Twitter Edit Function

Posted on August 2, 2015

kim kardashian twitter bellyitchblog.com

First, Taylor Swift was credited with getting Apple to change its mind about revenue sharing with artists during the three-month FREE trial period on its new streaming service, and maybe soon, Kim Kardashian may be credited with giving us all the edit function on tweets.

Last week, the mom-to-be tweeted that she had asked Twitter to add the ability for users to edit tweets rather than delete them and repost them. Co-founder of the immensely popular social media siteTwitter Jack Dorsey responded to her tweet with, “Good Idea.”

@KimKardashian great idea! We’re always looking at ways to make things faster and easier.
— Jack (@jack) July 25, 2015

Recall, it has only been since 2013 that users have been able to edit Facebook statuses.

Also, certainly, others have made the request for that function on Twitter before but they are not the highly influential Kim Kardashian are they? Ha! And some people are butt hurt a bit about it too:

I don’t want to live in a world where I end up having to thank Kim Kardashian for the ability to edit tweets… — Kevin Fippin (@kfippin) July 25, 2015

Certain @twitter would have an edit function on its product roadmap far ahead of a Kardashian suggesting it. http://t.co/lBkqplDTVj — Nichole Bigley (@NicholeBigley) July 25, 2015

Just deal and say,”Thank you, Kim!” LOL!

Kim Kardashian’s Maternity Style Palette; What Else She Should be Wearing

Posted on July 30, 2015

Kim Kardashian West has said she will be keeping her maternity style simple this round. While pregnant with her first child with husband Kanye West, the reality TV star got a lot of ridicule and teasing on her over-the-top outfits, some of which wasn’t the best fit for her body type.

Not everyone can carry their baby weight only in their belly like some of these Hollywood starlets out here.

I notice that she’s had one consistent style palette so far: a bump hugging pencil skirt dress in neutral tones under a long sweater, wrap, jacket or coat. She’s kept her hair slicked back as well.

It works for her!

I cannot imagine being knocked up in the public eye and being constantly photographed, featured on websites, blogs, and gossip magazines and newspapers, only to be picked apart, scrutinized, critiqued and ridiculed by every Tom, Dick and Harry with an opinion. Ugh!

It’s a trade off for fame.

Though her selection works for her, I’d mix it up a bit and branch out some occasionally.

Here are the couture level picks I’d go with if I had the budget of a Kim K or Kim Cavallari. The belted looks can be worn above the bump. The high end pieces can be adjusted to fit your body in a more flattering way. There are a lot more styling and adjustment options for those that can afford to pay top dollar.

Below that are the more sensible, around-the-way girl price point selections I like.

Check them out.

Do you like.

For less pricier pieces, here are some items to consider:
