Beyoncé nearly broke the internet when she announced she was pregnant with twins Wednesday, but the next question some people wanted to know was, “When is she due?”
Most women announce their pregnancies at the end of the first trimester, which is usually 10 to 12 weeks. If Beyoncé followed that tried-and-true rule, she’d probably give birth in August.
But, Beyoncé isn’t like everyone else. She might be further along in her pregnancy than that. “In her photo she looks to be at least 20 weeks along,” Sherry Ross, MD, OB/GYN and author of “She-ology, The Definitive Guide To Women’s Intimate Health,” told Hollywood Life in an exclusive report Thursday . “By the time Coachella arrives, she will be around 30 weeks.” Coachella is slated to take place April 14-April 23.

If that’s true, Beyoncé could give birth to her babies in June or July.
The pregnancy worried some fans who feared Beyoncé could back out of Coachella because of her pregnancy. “Carrying twins is a lot harder on the body, there is much more of a need to decrease physical activity,” Sherry said. “Normally it’s recommended for women carrying twins to decrease their activity by 50 percent by 28 weeks.”
Beyoncé might be 30 weeks pregnant during Coachella. “The biggest complication with twins is preterm labor,” Sherry added. “The average pregnancy will go to 40 weeks, but with twins it’s a few weeks less, around 37 weeks. We are very cautious with physical activity.”
At first, fans weren’t sure if Beyoncé confirmed she was expecting twins. “We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters,” she wrote in her post.
The Instagram photo made history as the most-liked post in history, with 9.4 million likes by Friday. Before that, singer Selena Gomez held the title with 6.3 million.
Beyoncé, 35, confirmed she was having twins with when she released a pregnancy album titled, “I have three hearts.”
