Corrected entry: After Padme gives birth, her body was sent to her home planet to be laid to rest. Presumably this is a week or two later. However if you look at her stomach, it is partially inflated - can't be the babies, and wouldn't be gases either, given she's clearly been prepared for burial.

Correction: Padmé's belly is deliberately made to look as if she was STILL pregnant when she died, in order for everyone to think that the "baby' died, as well. There are but a few witnesses, Bail Organa, Yoda, Obi-Wan and the droids, to the very live birth of the twins. There is a dire need to safeguard the secrecy of the birth of Anakin/Vader's offspring - to protect Luke and Leia. There is even a close-up of Padmé's belly to stress the point of the deception.
