The 16-time Grammy winner admitted that motherhood changed her life. With the birth of Blue Ivy in January 2012, Beyonce told the world that having a daughter gave her purpose and made her life completely different.
The singer’s first album after her daughter’s birth was a blast of female empowerment. Many have attributed her new and daring
sensitivity she depicted to motherhood. Her song Flawless undermined the commonly accepted idea of shrinking girls, where ambition is encouraged but limited by the society.

The last months of 2014 and the first half of 2015 have been ridden with rumors of the iconic couple’s second baby. Was Blue Ivy Carter going to get a baby brother? Beyoncé had been heard in the past expressing her desire to have more children with Jay-Z. However, all we can say is that if Blue Ivy Carter had such a positive effect on what her mother put out to the world, we can only wait avidly to see what a second child will have in store for us. Indeed Beyonce pregnancy is a blessing, so go ahead and show off that baby bump Queen B.
