Kim Kardashian revealed, in a teaser for a new episode of the family reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, that she was considering a surrogacy for a third child.
The mother of two, who had suffered placenta accreta with both pregnancies; a life threatening condition which sees the placenta abnormally attach to the uterine wall, was advised not to get pregnant again as it would be immensely dangerous for her health.
‘We induced my labour and I had North soon after. Right after delivery, the placenta usually then comes out. Mine did not. My placenta stayed attached inside my uterus, which is a condition called placenta accreta,’ she explained of the dangerous pregnancies she had endured.
‘My doctor had to stick his entire arm in me and detach the placenta with his hand, scraping it away from my uterus with his fingernails. How disgusting and painful! With the issues I had last time, my risk of having pre-eclampsia and placenta accreta are increased and there’s not a whole lot I can do to prevent it, so my anxiety is a little high leading up to my delivery,’ she further explained.
Kim is seen explaining to her family in a preview of the show ‘So I’ve come to the conclusion that I just want to explore surrogacy,’ to the shock of her family, especially her mom, Kris Jenner.
She and husband, Kanye really want a third child and they’re willing to try surrogacy as a means of getting one.
