It wasn’t an easy process conceiving Easton West, as Kim has often maintained. Indeed, at a point she ever despaired of getting that second child, but she’s getting it now.
Now she’s well on her way to giving birth to that second child, but she’s now made peace with the fact that there’ll probably never be a third.
The reality star explained she has a condition known as placenta accreta, which could lead to her uterus being removed. If it happens, she would have no more kids.
She was speaking to C Magazine, in a lengthy interview in which she talked about her career, family, her husband, and much more.
Excerpts below…
The wait to get pregnant again after North:
“It was over a year of trying, and I had so many complications. I had this condition called placenta accreta. There were a couple of little operations to fix all that, so that created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again. It was a long road. I would go to the doctor in Beverly Hills every day at five in the morning to get tested to see if I was ovulating. I was trying everything: I did acupuncture and got a nutritionist to eat healthier, thinking that was an issue.”
On her condition:
“Well, they (her doctors) think I’ll have placenta accreta again, so if the placenta grows a little bit deeper than it did last time, then they are prepared to have my uterus removed, which is a little scary for me. I think we’re just gonna go day by day, see how overwhelming it is, and see how the delivery goes.”
On the fat shaming during her first pregnancy:
“It was the worst! I couldn’t help it, and everyone would say, “She can’t stop eating.” I delivered at 180, and they were like, “She’s 210 pounds. She’s getting dumped because she’s too fat” and all these ridiculous stories. It really took a toll after the fact, when I was losing weight.
After I had the baby, I was like, these are the same people that made fun of me, and posted the stories that were so awful, calling me fat for something I couldn’t control. I don’t want to smile for them… it changed my personality a lot.”
On how she chooses her projects:
“I used to do anything and everything. When a brand would come to me and it sounded like a good deal, I would do it. But I see how my husband doesn’t do anything unless he is in control and believes in it—I was doing anything just to do it, and I had to take a step back.”
Her favourite tv shows:
“I love to watch the forensic shows like Dateline NBC. I either watch that or Family Feud—it’s one or the other”
She also revealed she’s launching her personal website, KimKardashianWest.com in September.
