New mom Beyonce recently opened to People Magazine about how she prepared for her daughter’s arrival:

“I did have a fresh eyebrow wax. I got my nails done, I got my feet done, had my hair done, and I had my little lip gloss.”
“But 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. But after many hours of labor, I could care less about anything but my child. I didn’t care how I looked.”

And after birth:

“I felt more powerful than I’ve ever felt in my life. I felt connected to my body. I felt like I knew my purpose in the world.”
