Beyoncé Had Preeclampsia While Pregnant with Twins...How Serious Is the Condition?

Despite her stunning maternity announcement photo that instantly went viral after she shared it in February 2017 — four months before she and husband JAY-Z welcomed their twins Sir and Rumi — Beyoncé‘s pregnancy was far from picture-perfect.

In her new Netflix documentary film Homecoming, out now, the 37-year-old singer opens up about the struggles that she went through while carrying her two youngest children — explaining that she developed preeclampsia during what she dubbed “an extremely difficult pregnancy.”
