Beyonce´ opens up about the birth of Blue Ivy Carter
Speaking to Vogue's Jason Gay, for the first time Beyonce´ went into detail about the emotions that took over as she prepared to bring a new life into the world.
She said: 'I felt very maternal around eight months, and I thought I couldn't become any more until I saw the baby.
'But it happened during my labor because I had a very strong connection with my child. I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door.'
Continuing she explained: 'And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn't think about my own pain. We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication.'
The industry stood still at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards when Beyonce´ announced that she was expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z. Stating that the people present at her birth made the experience that much better, Beyonce´ expressed that the fears she had about going into labor quickly disappeared. 'My family and my closest people were there when I gave birth. Everything that scared me just was not present in that room.' She added: 'So for me to really let go and really appreciate every contraction. It was the best day of my life.'
