Sinn Fein’s O’neill in leg break horror
Beyonce on traumatic birth of twins
Michelle O’neill SINN Fein’s Northern Ireland leader Michelle O’neill has broken her leg, her party confirmed yesterday.
The former Stormont Health Minister is said to be recovering well following the incident.
Yesterday, Ms O’neill took part in a panel discussion at St Mary’s University College in West Belfast about Women and the Good Friday Agreement.
Sinn Fein has not disclosed any further details. A spokesman said: “Michelle O’neill suffered a leg break in an accident.
“She underwent a procedure and is recovering well.”
Ms O’neill took over the role at Stormont after the retirement of the late Martin Mcguinness. BEYONCE has spoken of her arduous birth experience with twins Sir and Rumi – and how she has learned to love the way it has changed her body.
The singer, 36, revealed she suffered toxaemia, a type of blood poisoning caused by a local bacterial infection, while she was pregnant.
The twins were in so much danger doctors had to carry out an emergency C-section in June last year.
Beyonce said she was in “survival mode” after she and the tots spent several weeks in intensive care.
She said: “I was 15st 8Ib the day I gave birth to Rumi and Sir. I was swollen from toxaemia and had been on bed rest for over a month.
“My health and my babies’ health were in danger, so I had an emergency C-section.
“After the C-section, my core felt different. It had been major surgery. Some of your organs are shifted temporarily. I needed time to heal. During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be.
“To this day my arms, shoulders, breasts, and thighs are fuller. I have a little mommy pouch, and I’m in no rush to get rid of it. I think it’s real.”
Beyonce, married to rapper Jay-z, 48, said she regretted returning to touring so quickly after having their first child, Blue Ivy, in January 2012, so she could lose her baby weight.
She told US Vogue: “I believed in the things society said about how my body should look. I put pressure on myself to lose the weight in three months and scheduled a tour to assure I would. That was crazy.”
Praising Jay-z for the way he handled her difficult pregnancy and birth, she added: “My husband was a soldier.”
