People Magazine keeps excerpting more and more from their “Most Beautiful” cover profile of Beyonce. We’ve already heard Beyonce discuss how she’s so “natural” with cutting her own hair and wearing flats, and we’ve already heard Beyonce’s reaction to those “gut full of pillow” rumors (“it wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy”). Now Beyonce is discussing THE BIRTH!! And labor. And how much “weight” she put on (50 pounds!). And she talks about breastfeeding and post-baby workouts. Come on, now, Beyonce-stans! At some point, doesn’t it feel like Beyonce is really going out of her way to convince you of something?
When she arrived at the hospital last January, Beyoncé came with the best of intentions for her daughter’s delivery.
“I did have a fresh eyebrow wax,” PEOPLE’s 2012 Most Beautiful Woman says with a laugh. “I got my nails done, I got my feet done, had my hair done, and I had my little lip gloss.”
But, in the end, Blue Ivy’s birth trumped all the new mom’s primping and prepping to meet her baby girl.
“I didn’t feel that I looked beautiful during birth, but who does? After being pumped with all those fluids and gaining so much weight … I barely recognized myself,” she explains. “But after many hours of labor, I could care less about anything but my child. I didn’t care how I looked.”
The focus, she adds, was shifted to “the miracle” that she and husband Jay-Z welcomed into the world.
“I felt more powerful than I’ve ever felt in my life,” Knowles shares. “I felt connected to my body. I felt like I knew my purpose in the world.”
Losing the Baby Weight
The singer says she gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy – putting on the last 20 during the final month leading up to the delivery – and was determined to bounce back after baby as soon as possible.“I lost most of my weight from breastfeeding and I encourage women to do it; It’s just so good for the baby and good for yourself,” Knowles, who breastfed Blue for 10 weeks, says. Then, “about a month after” giving birth, the new mom tackled the remaining pounds with a strict diet and exercise routine.
“I counted calories. I worked out maybe three to four times a week,” she shares. “I did a lot of walking in the beginning and now I’m running. But I had to work my way up. I couldn’t just go right from being pregnant to running.”
All the hard work – including “staying away from anything delicious” and no cheat days – has paid off.
“I’m proud that my waist came back so fast. I’m proud of that and happy, but that was mostly from the breastfeeding,” the singer explains.
And not only is Knowles just “three to four pounds” away from her pre-pregnancy weight, but she has also acquired a new softness about her voluptuous body.
“My hormones are still in my body. Your body produces the hormones that make your body soft,” she says. “It’s just magical. It makes me so proud to be a woman because it’s just unexplainable what happens to your body – it’s incredible.”

*throws up hands, walks away muttering to self*
OK. So Beyonce gave birth on January 7. Go here to see photos of Beyonce just two days before she gave birth, wearing heels and skinny jeans. Does it really look like she gained 50 pounds? Not to me. That was one of the larger parts of the “pillow” conspiracy – Beyonce is curvy girl, like Jessica Simpson. When curvy girls get pregnant, most of them gain weight everywhere, like Jessica Simpson. The only thing that got bigger on Beyonce was her pillowy bump, and even if you buy that the bump was real, do you buy that she gained 50 pounds?!? And yes, Beyonce lost the weight quickly. Very quickly. She had her little waist back by March 19 – like, six weeks after the birth. Whatever. Just toss this interview into the Conspiracy Cauldron with all of the other interviews.

Agreed!
Also, what kind of pregnant mother in a delivery room thinks about being beautiful???? Didn’t she say that she had a natural birth, and NOT a C-section (correct me if I’m wrong here, because it makes a HUGE difference)?
Your water breaks, you are in labor, you are in f-cking pain… And you think of your lip gloss???
Your pushing that huge melon out of your wazoo and you are thinking you are powerful and more womanly than you have ever felt????
Wonder what she thought when crap came out the other end while pushing… Or stars don’t deliver the same way we mere mortals do?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yep, my thought too. She was worried about looking beautiful while she delivered a baby??? Good lord, talk about whacked out priorities.
And let’s assume that she gained 50lbs . . . it was all gone in less than 6 weeks? That was one hell of a lipo she had after vaginally delivering a child. And my proof? Exhibit A: Jennifer Garner.

I had 1 baby by C-section and 1 baby 100% natural and it makes NO difference. The last thing on your mind when giving birth is how you look. Until I read that headline the concept had never even registered as a possibility for so much as a nanosecond.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
@dee, it sort of makes a difference: If you have a planned C-section, you have the specific date and time, then someone in Beyoncé’s position would definitely go beforehand for beauty treatments, early in the day.
1- She can afford them, obviously
2- She lives in such a superficial environment where such a behavior is expected.
But if that was unplanned and she went for a natural birth… Than no, I don’t believe a word she said.

Hmmm…if she cared so much about how she looked during delivery, then WHERE ARE THE FREAKING PHOTOS…i mean, why else go through the trouble unless it’s not gonna be photo opped?
And yeah, 50 pounds my azz…she is not at all talking like a woman who actually went through labor, she’s talking like an actress who studied some birthing scenes to prepare for a role.

Kinda odd that Jessica Simpson apparantly gained less than 50 pounds and still looks about 100 pounds bigger than this biatch. And Jessica was HUGE when she was still preggers.
So Beyonce, if you want to keep your career/good girl image then STFU, you are only making your lie bigger and bigger.

Totally. “But after many hours of labor, I could care less about anything but my child. I didn’t care how I looked.”
That is the most phoney sounding thing I have ever heard. “Many hours of labour” – no woman has ever said that. They know the number of hours to the minute, it is emblazoned in their minds forever. “After SEVENTEEN AND A HALF HOURS of labour” etc.
It was a pillow. All this pretending it wasn’t is just getting embarrassing. You know she is the type to pose naked with a full pregnant bump (not the nano lunch-baby bikini pics everyone touts as proof) – but she didn’t. I wonder why….

@Ladyjane:
If you look at her Katie Couric interview, when she’s suppose to be 8 months pregnant, she’s wearing heels and she does not waddle. Every woman who has been pregnant knows, once you’re past your six months of pregnancy, wether big or small (I was very small and only gained 16 pounds during my pregnancy) knows that you start to waddle due to the unbalance state your body is in.
Look at that Katie Couric interview, Beyonce does not waddle once. I have never seen a woman not waddle that late in her pregnancy.

Some woman who actually gave birth told her what to say. I don’t recall having time to think about how I looked, or how I felt connected to my body, or what miracle was occurring. I had one goal while giving birth – get human out of stomach. That’s just me though.

@Blackmamba-Let me clarify my original statement-I applaud any woman that choses the route of motherhood and devotes the endless amount of time and energy needed to raise a happy, healthy child (it IS a difficult job). I understand it’s a personal preference and I don’t begrudge any woman for feeling that their child is the best thing that ever happened to them. But what I despise if the sanctimonious tone and the inferred idea that women who cannot or don’t procreate are somehow inferior. It’s only my opinion-but I just find comments like that very divisive. *shrugs* Didn’t mean to offend anyone by it.

Maybe SHE found HER purpose in motherhood. Just because giving birth is not YOUR purpose in life does not mean another woman can’t have that sentiment. Live and let live.

Really? If it was someone else that said it, meaning someone who doesn’t have 6 nannies, who didn’t shut down an entire hospital wing while giving birth, who didn’t patent her kid’s name then maybe the sentiment would come across as more genuine. It just strikes me as a little insincere for her to claim that she’s found her “purpose in life” after giving birth. Guess this means she can permanently retire from the spotlight?

^^ this. As long as they aren’t projecting it onto you, maybe they DO feel like that is their purpose in life. Some women do long to become mothers, you know.

Well, in evolutionary terms, it is the purpose. But you’re right, I always cringe when people say stuff like that. Also because I know many women who will not be able to have children and I know that’s rather an offensive statement.

Without a doubt I felt intense self awareness and empowerment–personally, not so much as a woman or a mother. Especially in the knowledge that I am stronger than I thought I was … and MUCH stronger than my husband who had to get a hold of himself pretty frequently. But it didn’t come as some sort of epiphany like a burst of light from heaven. She’s such a drama queen.

I’m still trying to figure out why they “pumped her full of fluids”. I didn’t get pumped full of fluids with either my C sec or my natural birth.
I also gained 50 lbs on a 5’9″ frame and I looked like a brick walking. Beyonce’s desire to make us all think she’s just that much more of a perfect woman than the rest of us is pretty indicative that she didn’t give birth. She’s obsessed with portraying herself as super woman.

I was induced with my first baby as well, and while I did receive plenty of fluids, they didn’t pump me so FULL of them, that they contributed in any way to the way I looked… LOL I gained a lot of weight with each of my babies, and had large babies, so I was plenty big and puffy, but not from the fluids I received during delivery.
Sounds like she is just trying to say what she thinks ‘sounds right’. Fail.

*Raises hand* I was induced and pumped full of fluids. It took about 16 hours and I had an IV the entire time. I was retaining water anyway so I puffed up. When I look back at my pictures I was like, “Woaaaa!”

I was wondering about why she was pumped full of fluids too. IV? I unfortunately know nothing about pregnancy and giving birth; I don’t know what she means. I do know my mother gained over 30 pounds – she loved being pregnant, but she said she was so huge and she retained so much water, she felt like a bloated cow. She has one picture of herself pregnant, and there is no way she could have walked around in heels.

you get an IV and fluids because they will not let you eat or drink in case of an emergency C.
My first, the three day labor, I got IV fluids the entire time with just ice chips.

I know many women who try to ‘pretty up’ a bit before they deliver… nothing wrong with that, in my opinion. Not only do most women feel big and awkward (and many feel unattractive) at the end of a pregnancy, and getting a pedicure, etc., helps a little… but they also know they won’t have time for these things for quite some time after the baby is born.
Where Bey goes wrong (again), is making it sound like these were serious, important preparations for her delivery.

“Beyonce is a curvy girl, like Jessica Simpson. When curvy girls get pregnant, most of them gain weight everywhere.”
EXACTLY! I’m curvy like her and I’m sure my butt will explode when I’m pregnant! My friend gave birth to her daughter a few days after Beyonce. She’s breastfeeding and not the curvy type and she didn’t loose the weight like that! She still has extra weight around her belly, which is natural if you are not starving and working out right after birth. Beyonce just looks like she gained a bit weight to make us believe she was actually pregnant.
I don’t know, I really liked her a few years ago, but she semes to live in another world.

But unlike Jessica Simpson (who had a problem with her weight ‘before’ she became pregnant), Beyonce is extremely fit and has muscle on her frame.
You women need to get over yourselves! Not every woman looks, feels, or acts the same when they’re pregnant. Jessica Simpson has looked like she was ’10′ months pregnant for the last 5 months. But Heidi Klum–who wore heels throughout her pregnancies–hardly showed any weight gain at all.
All of the Beyonce doubt and hate here would be entertaining if there hadn’t been a lot of it ‘prior’ to her pregnancy as well. Perhaps it’s time to ask yourselves if something more is fueling the hate.

Nah, Jessica Simpson is probably not the best example. I know women who are not curvy and pretty thin and you couldn’t tell from behind if they were pregnant or not – but you knew it when you saw their belly, that’s for sure.
Someone who is as curvy as her doesn’t look like she did days before giving birth.
Two possibilitys:
1. You are round and voluptuous – your belly is not really outstanding
2. You are pretty thin/trained well – your belly is clearly recognizable

It is freaking ABSURD for anyone to compare Jessica’s pre-preg figure with Beyonce’s. Beyonce had a 6 pack. She might have hips, but she was never “fat” or “pudgy”. She was very lean and muscular before she got pregnant. The belly on Beyonce and Jessica were lightyears a part.

20 pounds in her last month? Is it me or does that sound weird? Kinda like almost everything about her “pregnancy”!
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I guess it isn’t impossible… but it sounds odd to me as well. I gained a lot of weight in each of my pregnancies… and the most I ever gained in one month, I think was 9 pounds (actually, to my horror, I gained that amount a couple months in a row… lol).

I agree…this is what stood out to me. Very, very unusual…even accounting for fluid gain/water retention. Although does happen with preeclampsia.

Good point. I have three little ones (just had twins) and I can say that you don’t have much room for food that last month. A lot of women lose a little weight right at the end because your stomach is squished so much (along w everything else) by the baby. Very suspect…

I don’t know if I gained 20, but it might have been close in the last six weeks of my first pregnancy. My second pregnancy was a totally different story, I gained all the way through

Still don’t believe she was pregnant. She says she didn’t care how she looked while giving birth, but if that’s the case then why does she start this paragraph with “I didn’t feel beautiful during birth?” I have never ever heard a woman comment on not looking good during labor and delivery. If you’re giving birth you don’t care. If you do care you either A are not giving birth or B are extremely shallow. I’ll put Bey in both of these categories

Even in the last month of pregnancy, most women I know couldn’t be bothered to even change out of their nightgowns. Who thinks about make-up when they’re that uncomfortable?
If B thinks more talking will convince people, she is so wrong.

Blind Gossip had an extensive article about her putting her Latin American surrogate up in an apartment in NYC and keeping her away from EVERYONE. This woman did not speak a word of English, which probably reassured Beyonce she couldn’t blab as easily to the press. Beyonce allegedly took prednisone to make her look swollen, in order to mimic pregnancy. NO WAY did Beyonce ever carry that baby herself. She’s way too hung up on her looks. Years ago before she got married she also stated in a magazine article that childbirth terrified her and she was in no hurry to go through that kind of pain. Lastly, clothes do NOT collapse on someone’s stomach; pillows do. She & her husband are complete frauds out to milk the public of every dollar they have.

I want to believe that Beyonce gave birth to her daughter and all that but come on, 50 lbs? I just can’t buy that. If Jessica Simpson said she gained 50 lbs, I would totally believe her but Beyonce never looked like she gained that much, not even nearly that much. And I’m sorry, but you don’t lose 50 lbs in 6 weeks, even with breastfeeding. That’s not even fathomable. I call shenanigans on Beyonce.

Agreed!
Breastfeeding burns an extra POUND a week. ONE POUND. So if she lost all her pregnancy weight in 6 weeks and most of that was because of breastfeeding (as she says it was), then she didn’t gain much more than 6lbs. Whatever. She’s so full of it.

I’m not one of those people who think she faked her pregnancy but she is losing me with this “I gained 50 lbs thing”, she did not. She is not Posh spice, she is a curvy girl so 50 pounds on her would show. I am currently pregnant and so far I’ve gain about 30lbs(*tears*), although most of the weight is in my belly and my boobs, you can still see it in my face and everywhere else that I’ve gain some weight. To me beyonce stayed the same as she was pre-pregnancy except she had a belly and the short period of time it took her to lose that weight is astonishing. *Scratch head*

I’m currently pregnant too and I’ve gained 21 lbs. so far and it’s showing up all over. I’m probably the same height as Beyonce and just the 20 lbs on me is super noticable, I can’t imagine how monstrous I’d be if I had 50 lbs on me. Don’t be sad about your weight gain! It’s all worth it!
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I’m a short, curvy girl. When I was pregnant I stuck to a very healthy diet and only gained 34 pounds. I actually lost weight on every part of my body and only had the belly. So curvy girls do not necessarily gain weight everywhere.
That being said, at 9 months I was noticeably pregnant and those pics of Beyonce at 9 months look like a bad bloat.

Yeah, I’m up 8 pounds at 24 weeks and my stomach looks like her “9 month pregnant” picture.
Also, I don’t know why the black-and-white pic of Solange worshipfully touching her belly should be convincing. To me, it’s a lot less revealing than that shot of her around the same time in a transparent purple swimsuit cover-up. A lot of people have already pointed out the odd shadows on her bump in this photo, suggesting that it was some sort of attached prostheses. The black-and-white of the Tumblr shot is far more forgiving, I think.

27 hours of natural labor here; and I did not care what the hell I looked like! In fact, I was very shy about my nudity but I’ll tell you girls this–that went out the window during labor/childbirth–it felt like every doctor in the whole hospital had come around to take a look. I was in real danger of developing a Pavlovian response too–everytime I saw a doctor I had the urge to pull my paper gown up over my head. Thank God I only had one baby, lol.

I don’t think it’s a stretch that she gained 50 lbs. You are forgetting how small Beyonce was immediately before getting preggers. Here she is in May 2011 (either immediately before or after getting pregnant) at her nephew’s college graduation:

And the Jessica Simpson references are inapposite. At best, she was “fluffy” (as my granny would say) pre-pregnancy, and at worst, she was slightly overweight. Add to that the fact that she ate fried cheetoes and mac & cheese throughout her pregnancy, and that’s why she was grossly overweight throughout. Not because she was “curvy” beforehand.

I don’t think she gained 50 lbs. I figured the reason why she didn’t look pregnant is because she was working her ass off to not blow up. I thought she was probably on a strict diet and workout program. 20 lbs in the last month? Really? Typically you don’t gain much weight in the last month. Everything I’ve read said not to worry if your weight gain slows down or even stops during the 9th month. I found that my weight would go up and down a few pounds at the end. I know every woman is different, but man that’s a lot. How did she not end up with stretch marks everywhere?

Wouldn’t a 20 pound weight gain in one month or less also make her doctors rush to deliver? In all my pregnancies I was warned to tell them if I gained a lot of weight fast.

Her doctors would have freaked about that kind of weight gain in one month. When I was in my last month I put on 4 pounds in a week and my doctor recommended I get induced then rather than risk continuing at that rate. It can cause all sorts of complications because your blood sugar levels are so high.

If the epidural doesn’t take (mine didn’t… Even after 3 attempts) go for the gas. It doesn’t really do anything for the pain but it calms you down a bit in between contractions.

If she was pregnant, I very much doubt she gained 50 lbs – that would be super noticeable and I’m not seeing it. And whatever she did gain, I’ve heard a celeb trainer moved in with her and she probably has a chef making all her meals, so spare me the breast feeding magic.

The 50 pounds is completely believable considering the fact that she was super skinny or even underweight when she got pregnant so there is a difference between underweight beyoncé gaining 50 and “bootylicious” beyoncé gaining 50 pounds. This is an article about beauty not the rigours of childbirth so she’s answering accordingly and I’m sure if she was detailing everything someone would still say ” the lady protesteth to much” so she loses either way, and I’m tired of people saying they’re tired of her unless you’re made at gunpoint to read her articles/stories pls STFU about wanting her to gl away cos obviously you get some type of thrill from beyoncé stories

Who thinks about being beautiful or not during labor?
You are in pain or excited or scared or concentrating or many many other things but I have never heard of any woman thinking whether she looks pretty.
That is just so odd.
Other than that, she didn’t gain or loose any pounds and looks exactly the same as she always has before during the “pregnancy” and after.
There’s something really odd about her if these are her thoughts and if she indeed faked her pregnancy. These people need to be examined by a doctor. Seriously.

I have three children. The first two deliveries were rough. I listened to too many people around me and went the “natural” route with very little pain control. The first was long and laborious (26 hrs). The second was VERY fast and stressful (2.5 hrs). The third was induced and with the use of an epidural was like a walk in the park. I still had my makeup and jewelry on when I was holding my son for the first time. If I had known for my first two what I knew for the third, I would have never suffered through all that pain with the first two.
Ladies, do what YOU want to do, and if you have the option, go for the epidural! It’s safe for you and baby. There is NO reason to needlessly suffer.

Thing is while I was never what you’d call a fan, I always thought she was a pretty woman and a talented performer with a great work ethic. But the fame-whoring, beginning with her announcement at the Grammy’s and the branding of their baby, plus the strategic release of those pics of Beyonce and the baby from a couple who’d always been soooooo private, has turned my ambivalence into active dislike.

I have no idea if she was pg or not. But, really, everyone is different. I was going to the gym every morning to do cardio, wearing heels, and not slowing down much up until the end. Baby was full-term and healthy. I was also back to “normal” body weight wihtin about six weeks, and without any crazy dieting, trainers, etc.
And as for labor stories, those are all different too. I had an elective c-section, which I caught a lot of crap for from the natural crowd. Whatever. It was a fantastic experience that worked for us, and I was up walking in twelve hours, out of the hospital in 48, and back on the treadmill within two weeks. No problems.
I wish women would just respect each other’s choices. Beyonce is a mom now either way, right?

Beyonce is so full of it. I’ve had 4 kids, all while in the military and she is so obviously fake. I lost my weight as much as possible having 4 babies in 3 years. The only weight she lost was when she took her pillow off! Even Jessica didn’t make it to the end in heels. Doesn’t Jay-Z have an incurable STD? Beyonce would also have it and chances of a vaginal birth are slim. Being a nurse, I saw Blue’s first pictures. That baby was way too awake and aware to be a day old. There is no shame in surrogacy, so why did she make herself out to be a con artist? Guess she didn’t want stretch marks. BTW, Beyonce, if you had been nuring, you would NOT have been able to go clubbing without leaking. I’m sick of hearing this.

Ahhh come off it! You looked exactly the same because you didn’t give birth to any baby. I don’t know who she’s trying to convince at this point us or herself? I guess she believes in that old saying that “If you say it enough it becomes true” What a joke. Were there any pictures of her pregnant belly taken from the side? I only saw the ones taken from the front for some reason, hmmmm that’s strange huh?

You know that with an ass like her it would have blown up if she was really pregnant. I don’t buy it.

People are really nuts. So cause she didn’t look like you looked or like Jessica Simpson looked, or didn’t think the same thoughts as you all did before labor, or didn’t use the same words to describe her experience, then she wasn’t pregnant.
Yeah, that’s totally rational.

Can you please just quit it with this ish? I’m not a huge Beyonce fan and I find this constant speculation and “pillow” digs just tiresome.

The more she talks about it the worse it gets, she never gained 50 lbs, even super skinny Victoria Beckham looked pregnant, Bowonce must have had the flattest stomach pregnancy in the history of mankind.
No one’s bying it Bey.

This woman actually promoted her fake pregnancy, and brought this career-ending publicity on herself, and now she is upset that no one believes her?
She does not need to prove anything anymore, because no one believes in anything she says.

I don’t believe she was pregnant. She never gained 50 lbs. She probably injected or ingested something to cause some weight gain to give the appearance of weight gain but then again, she’s even admitted to working to keep her figure because she gains weight easily. I saw those pics of her right before she supposedly gave birth and she looks almost the same, her thighs as she did at that Gala event a few days ago so 50lbs sounds ludicrous and only makes her claims of childbirth less credible. She’s not the brightest girl so she should better prepare statements in advance because not only did she make herself look incredibly superficial but she made herself looking dumber than before.
It’s mind-boggling that a woman with that much money would be diving into so many projects. She had some contractual obligations with the Clint E. project but another album being worked on so soon? Really? Why not raise your kid, you never have to work another day in your life. If I was a multi-millionaire, I wouldn’t be planning 4 different heavy projects when I have a newborn. She really does love the limelight, just doesn’t like to be out of it.
I hope her narcissism doesn’t rub off on her daughter, that would be a real shame.
