Beyoncé Talks Childbirth: "Pain Is Not Pretty"

There have been some crazy conspiracy theories about Beyoncé, but perhaps none as bonkers as the ones about her faking her pregnancy with daughter Blue Ivy. In an exclusive interview withElle magazine, however, Beyoncé opens up about childbirth — because yes, it happened. And, turns out, not even The Queen can avoid that whole labor pain thing.  "Everyone experiences pain, but sometimes you need to be uncomfortable to transform," she tells the magazine. "Pain is not pretty, but I wasn't able to hold my daughter in my arms until I experienced the pain of childbirth!"
