If you’ve kept up with the Kardashians for the past few years, you would know that Kim K has had difficult pregnancies with her two children, North and Saint.  Doctors even warned her about health risks, like suffering from placenta accreta, which is when the “placenta grows into the wall of the womb and prevents it from easily detaching at the time of birth,” when carrying a child.  So it’s not a surprise that she and baby daddy, Kanye West, would opt for a surrogate for baby #3.

In her blog, Kim Kardashian shares the difficulty of giving birth to her first child with placenta accreta.  “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!!!  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,” she wrote.  Because of this, the Kardashian-West couple started considering a surrogate after two doctors told her it would be dangerous to get pregnant again.  From fear of not loving the surrogate child the same, Kim also talked to another woman who had children by herself and a surrogate. 

The reality star even revealed her concerns and potential plan to her mom.  “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 Kris Jenner, in an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.  The surrogacy could cost at least $45,000 with ten monthly installments of $4,500.  And if they wanted another child from the same surrogate?  It would only be an additional $5,000.  For this power couple, that’s nothing. We wish the best for Kim and Kanye when they embark on this step in parenthood.
