Kim Kardashian West: It Was So Hard Not Carrying My Third Child

She said in a post on her app that, due to struggles with high risk pregnancy conditions pre-eclampsia and placenta accreta, “doctors said that it wasn’t safe for my, or the baby’s, health to carry my own”. The 37-year-old said she and her husband decided to use a gestational carrier, meaning the baby is “biologically mine and Kanye’s”. She wrote: “Having a gestational carrier is definitely different, but anyone who says or thinks it’s the easy way out is completely wrong. “People assume it’s better because you don’t have to deal with the physical changes, pain or complications with delivery, but for me it was so hard to not carry my own child, especially after I carried North and Saint.”

It’s not for everyone, but I absolutely love my gestational carrier and this was the best experience I’ve ever had. “Our gestational carrier gave us the greatest gift one could give.”
