Victoria Beckham has short maternity leave

Victoria Beckham, 37, who gave birth to daughter Harper Seven by c-section last Sunday, July 10, won’t be able to enjoy a lengthy maternity leave as her latest fashion collection will launch at New York Fashion Week in September.

Near the end of her pregnancy, Victoria was tired and couldn’t wait to have the baby, an insider told People. “She was saying, ‘I just want her to get here and want to be holding her in my arms – not in my belly.’”

“She had not been all that tired until the end,” the source added, “When it is just so hard to be active so pregnant.”

The busy mother and businesswoman was fully prepared for the July 10 arrival of her daughter, said the insider.

“She was so excited and really just ready for the baby. She [had] been working really hard to get as much done as possible before Harper’s arrival. She was unsure of how she would manage time and schedule after [Harper] arrived."

The style icon left the hospital a day earlier than expected on July 12, and couldn’t wait to take the baby home to be with daddy David, 36, and big brothers Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6, reports the Daily Star.

The mother of four has cleared her busy schedule for the next couple of months to relax at home and enjoy the new baby.
