Beyoncé is one of the biggest superstars in the world right now. If her own musical achievements weren’t enough, getting her own concert special on Netflix is good. Being a superstar is hard work and dedication. But recently, Beyoncé has been dealing with another major item on her plate: motherhood.
The 37-year-old singer revealed her latest obstacles in her movie “Homecoming”, Beyoncé revealed her struggles. Now the mother of twins, their birth wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. She called it an “extremely difficult pregnancy”. Beyoncé endured preeclampsia which caused several complications.
It was so bad the singer was forced into an emergency C-Section. She had planned on performing at Coachella in 2017, but was forced to miss out. “I was supposed to do Coachella the year prior but I got pregnant unexpectedly,” Beyoncé said in Homecoming. “And it ended up being twins which was even more of a surprise.
Beyoncé Getting Back to Work Wasn’t Easy
As you can imagine, being away from work for awhile can be stressful. Things that were once familiar to you might seem foreign. Especially after your body just enduring giving birth to twins. Being a mom and getting back into shape is difficult for any woman. For Beyoncé, she had to put on a show.
It wasn’t all physical, either. Everything the singer went through was also mentally draining.
“And you know, a lot of the choreography is about feeling, so it’s not as technical, it’s your own personality that brings it to life. That’s hard when you don’t feel like yourself,” Beyoncé confessed. “I had to rebuild my body from cut muscles. It took me a while to feel confident enough to … give my own personality.”
It can be difficult to concentrate on the work at hand.
“In the beginning, there were so many muscle spasms and just internally, my body was not connected. My mind was not there. My mind wanted to be with my children,” she continued. “What people don’t see is the sacrifice.”

In 2018, Beyoncé was back and in charge. She headlined the Coachella acts that year, the first black woman to do so. “I just feel like I’m just a new woman in a new chapter of my life and I’m not even trying to be who I was,” Beyoncé said in the documentary. “It’s so beautiful that children do that to you.”
