LAHORE – Married to Jay-Z, Beyonce was already a mom to daughter Blue Ivy, seven, when she gave birth to her twins.
By the time of her delivery, Beyonce who is 37, had ballooned to 218 pounds and was suffering from high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia which can be life threatening for both mother and child if not dealt with.
‘My body went through more than I knew it could,’ she explains. ‘I had an extremely difficult pregnancy……. And in the womb, one of my babies’ hearts paused a few times so I had to get an emergency C-section.’
“There were days that I thought I’d never be the same. I’d never be the same physically, my strength and endurance would never be the same,” she said in her new Netflix documentary Homecoming, all about her Coachella performance. “Eventually I wanna be able to do SoulCycle, the stairs and rehearsal in a day,” she added.
“In the beginning, it was so many muscle spasms,” she said. “Just internally, my body was not connected — my mind was not there. My mind wanted to be with my children.”
“In order for me to meet my goal, I’m limiting myself to no bread, no carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no meat, no fish, no alcohol,” she said. “And I’m hungry!”.
And Beyoncé eventually celebrated hitting one of her goals — fitting in her old costumes for the show.
“Okay this is seriously a huge accomplishment because I did not think I’d ever get back in my old costume, and I’m actually in it and I can still move,” she said. “I still have a ways to go, but this makes me feel good because I’ve been sacrificing and working hard. Huge, huge, huge accomplishment. Yay!”.
She followed strict vegan diet of no meat, no fish, no carbs, no dairy and no sugar
