Behind all those glams and make-up were pangs of pains like everyone else for Beyonce when the doctors told her her fetus no longer had a heartbeat during a medical check-up.
Beyonce 31, had kept mum about the tragedy till date, even when her husband Jay-Z referenced the loss in Glory, a track recorded within days of Blue’s birth in January 2012.
Opening up about the tragedy, she said in her upcoming documentary titled “Life Is But A Dream”:
‘About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time. And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life.’
‘I picked out names,’ she recalls.
‘I envisioned what my child would look like.. I was feeling very maternal.’
‘I flew back to New York to get my check up – and no heartbeat,’ she says.
‘Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat.’
‘I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I’ve ever written in my life
‘And it was actually the first song I wrote for my album.
And it was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I’ve ever been through.’
On carrying her daughter Blue Ivy, she says: ‘Being pregnant was very much like falling in love.
‘You are so open. You are so overjoyed.
‘There’s no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you, so of course you want to scream it out and tell everyone.’
After cautiously keeping her second pregnancy a secret, she finally revealed her bump at MTV Video Music Awards in August 2011.
So the rich also cry?…Yes they do
