Why does Padme still have a belly even after child birth?

enter image description here

Here is the picture of Padme's dead body. I believe she gave birth before death. Is she died with baby in her body?

    Does this answer your question? "You'll look about six months pregnant when you leave the hospital or birthing center." – DavidW Apr 24 '21 at 03:42

    Bit harsh on the down votes for a duplicate. For what turns out to have an in-universe answer too. – Jontia Apr 24 '21 at 05:54

    @Jontia - The downvotes are probably because the duplicate question would have come up while they were writing it as a suggested duplicate (which was then ignored). – Valorum Apr 24 '21 at 06:49

This was to make it seem like Padme's child (which no one outside of a small circle knew were twins) had died with her. If she hadn't looked pregnant at her funeral, Palpatine and Vader could easily have assumed they were alive somewhere.
