Montreal: Six weeks after giving birth to twins, pop star Celine Dion finds motherhood to be "extraordinary" but "overwhelming," in an interview with Hello! Canada viewed Wednesday by AFP.
"I don't know when it's daytime or night time. I'm breastfeeding both of them, and I have my 9-1/2 year old son to (also) keep up with - it's a lot," the Canadian-born chanteuse told the entertainment magazine.
"I don't know how women do it."
Dion, 42, delivered by C-section fraternal twin boys, Nelson and Eddy, at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida on October 23. The pregnancy was the result of Dion's sixth in-vitro fertilization attempt.
The five-time Grammy winner, who is expected to return to Las Vegas, Nevada, next March to begin a three-year residency at Caesars Palace, said in the Hello! Canada interview that she barely has time to eat or sleep now.
"I'm still in my pyjamas at lunchtime," she said, adding there is "no time to shower."
"There's no sleep! You breastfeed for an hour and a half, change the (babies') diapers and pyjamas ... I'm trying to do it all."
"If I thought I was busy before and if I thought I didn't have any sleep before, oh my goodness. It's a miracle that we don't die with no sleep, yet we raise our babies."
