Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Hire Surrogate to Carry Third Child
The West family is planning to expand! Kim
Kardashian West and Kanye
West have hired a surrogate, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
Kardashian West has long made it clear on Keeping Up with the Kardashians that she
wants another child – even though her doctors have warned her about the
health risks of carrying another baby because she suffered from placenta
accreta during her last pregnancy. Placenta accreta is a condition in which
the placenta grows into the wall of the womb and prevents it from easily
detaching at the time of birth.
“My doctor had to ... detach the placenta with his hand ... How disgusting
and painful!!!” Kardashian West wrote in
her blog about giving birth to her first child while dealing with the
condition, which she said affects five percent of women giving birth. “My mom
was crying; she had never seen anything like this before. My delivery was fairly
easy, but then going through that—it was the most painful experience of my life!
They gave me a second epidural but we were racing against time, so I just had to
deal.”
The couple, who wed in May 2014, are already parents to 4-year-old daughter
North and 18-month-old son Saint.
“I’d just love nothing more than to expand my family and just know that I
have this world at home that’s safe,” she said on
the reality show.
“And if for some reason I left this earth sooner than I really wanted to,
then my kids would have a support system at home so that I know that they would
be okay if I wasn’t here.”
The 36-year-old reality star said being the victim of a robbery during Paris
Fashion Week in October only made the urgency greater.
Kardashian West underwent a procedure to help her become able to carry
another baby, but it didn’t work.
“I can’t carry anymore kids … it’s the worst,” she told close pal Jonathan
Cheban. “It’s not going to be happy for me.. I had a full break down … I give
up.”
The mother of two began considering a surrogate after two doctors told her it would be
unsafe for her to get pregnant again. She also spoke to a mother who used a
surrogate in addition to giving birth herself to talk about her fear of not
loving the child the same.
“I’ve come to the conclusion in my mind that I can’t carry another one. So
now I want to explore surrogacy,” Kardashian West told her mother, Kris Jenner,
on the show.
Both sister Khloé
Kardashian and Chrissy
Teigen have previously offered to act as Kardashian West’s surrogate.
