Celebs Who Didn't Slow Down for Pregnancy

Kim, Bey, Halle and other Type A moms.

Alicia Keys - For most people, pregnancy means nine months of kicking up your cankles and cracking open pints of ice cream. But not if you're a celebrity. Superstar moms-to-be keep up their busy schedules well into the third trimester. Jaws dropped when a six-month pregnant Keys jumped on a piano during her tribute to Prince during the 2010 BET Awards. For the second time around, the singer is still keeping it moving. With a new children's book titled The Journals of Mama Mae & Lee Lee set to release soon, Keys is heavily promoting and isn't worried that she's eight months along.(Photo: Shirlaine Forrest/Getty Images for MTV)

Lil' Kim - The self-proclaimed Queen Bee was months along in her pregnancy, but that didn't stop her from killing the stage during 2014's New York Fashion Week. The rapper hit up The Blonds fashion show and treated the attendees to a few live renditions of her hits. Soon after, she gave birth to her first child, Royal Reign.(Photo: Chelsea Lauren/Getty Images)Beyoncé - Yoncé kept the BeyHive buzzing throughout her pregnancy by performing at the MTV VMAs, shooting a dance-filled video for "Love on Top" and recording hundreds of hours of footage for her 2013 documentary Life Is but a Dream. But that ain't nothin' compared to what she endured after she gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter. Bey whipped her bootylicious body back into shape in record time and got back to business with performances in Atlantic City just five months later. All hail, Queen Bey!  (Photo: Anthony Harvey/PictureGroup)
