BEYONCE

has been talking about accepting her postpregnancy body following the birth of twins Sir and Rumi in June last year. She’s even coined a new term for her fuller post-pregnancy stomach: a ‘fupa’ – or fatty upper pubic area. The 36-year-old mother-of-three suffered the serious high blood pressure condition preeclampsia during pregnancy and had an emergency caesarean. Now the singer, pictured right before the twins arrived, says she is more concerned with enjoying her new babies and recovering rather than winning back her washboard abs.

It’s a healthy attitude. Celebrities with a team of trainers may appear to snap back into shape within months, but for most, it will take two years to be strong enough to take up pre-pregnancy exercise routines. But there’s no rush. Your baby, and your own wellbeing, are far more important.
