On April 17th, the wait finally came to an end with the release of Beyoncé’s documentary, “Homecoming.” The action-packed film featured scenes from her performances and it also included some behind the scenes tea.
One in particular is when Bey told us the struggle she had in her latest pregnancy with her adorable twins, Sir and Rumi. She spoke on having high blood pressure and also weighing 218 pounds on the day she gave birth.
In Beyoncé’s new Netflix documentary, “Homecoming,” the singer opens up for the first time about her “extremely difficult pregnancy” with twins Sir and Rumi.
“I was supposed to do Coachella the year prior, but I got pregnant unexpectedly,” Beyoncé said in the film. The development led her to postpone her headlining spot at the festival for a year. “And it ended up being twins, which was even more of a surprise.”
Beyoncé said she developed preeclampsia, a high-risk condition that includes high blood pressure and sometimes damage to certain organs, like the kidneys and liver, according to the Mayo Clinic. She also had a scary delivery.
“In the womb, one of my babies’ heartbeat paused a few times, so I had to get an emergency C-section,” she said. “My body went through more than I knew it could.”
After giving birth, Beyoncé began working to recover for her Coachella performance. She said she weighed 218 pounds on the day she gave birth and worked tirelessly to get her mind and body right for the major show.
“In the beginning, there were so many muscle spasms and just internally my body was not connected,” she said, adding that she had to rebuild “cut muscles,” from her C-section. “My mind was not there. My mind wanted to be with my children.”
She added: “I would dance and go off to the trailer and breastfeed the babies, the days I could I would bring the children.”
Beyoncé announced her pregnancy with twins in a now-iconic photo shoot in 2017 with a statement from “The Carters.”
“We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes,” the announcement said.
We are so thankful that Bey was able to pull through and deliver two healthy beautiful babies. We hate that she had to go through this stressful event but in the end I know she felt it was all worth it.
