30 Rock Star Elizabeth Banks Uses Surrogate to Have Baby

by Daun Lee

Elizabeth Banks who plays Alec Baldwin’s love interest on 30 Rock couldn’t conceive a child despite years of fertility treatments. The 37 year old actress will be using a surrogate to have the baby she wants so badly. Banks and her husband, sports writer Max Handalman doesn’t want to reveal the date or place of the birth. The couple has already named their new baby boy, he will be called Felix which means happy in Latin. Other celebs like Nicole Kidman and Sarah Jessica Parker have used surrogates. Looks like Banks won’t have to worry about getting rid of the baby fat.

Women often experience a major change in their bodies after giving birth. For some, even though they lose the weight gained during pregnancy still find themselves retaining fat in some areas, especially the stomach. Eating a low-fat and low calorie diet combined with regular physical activity can eliminate some of the fat, but there are areas that the fat just won’t leave. Liposuction can be utilized by the new mom to get back to their pre-baby bodies.

The benefits of liposuction besides getting rid of fat include smaller scars and less recovery time. New mommies generally prefer liposuction to a tummy tuck because it is a nominally invasive procedure; having a baby after all is physically taxing. Finding the time to get the amount of exercise needed to get rid of the baby fat is hard for women with newborns.
