Kim Kardashian talked about her difficult deliveries during her Skims campaign. A mother to four young children, Kim gave birth naturally to two of her kids and the younger two were carried by surrogates.
Kim Kardashian, 39, has revealed that she underwent five operations within a year and a half to ‘fix the damage’ caused by pregnancy.
The reality star had a condition called preeclampsia or toxemia. She revealed that following the birth of her first baby her placenta didn’t come out but dangerously grew inside her.
And despite managing to deliver a second child, she required multiple surgeries.
Watch the video below:
Kardashian suffered from a number of complications while carrying North, six, and, after freezing her eggs was able to deliver her second, son Saint, four.
But, after the ‘same awful delivery’ during his birth, doctors refused to help her conceive via her frozen embryos a third time.
It was then that Kardashian turned to surrogates for the birth of third and fourth children: daughter Chicago, one, and son Psalm, seven months.
She recalled: ‘I asked my doctors, ‘Can I do it one more time?’ And they were like, “We won’t even put an embryo in you — that would be like malpractice”.’
Although she had very difficult deliveries, Kim Kardashian insists all the struggles were “worth it”.
She concluded: “I’m so thankful for my beautiful kids, no matter how they came to me, they came to me.
“I’m so thankful for surrogates. I’m really thankful for my family. I grew up with so many siblings and I just loved being in a big environment. I would have gone through the same pain and back for the result of having my babies. It was all worth it.”
