Following the 2015 Video Music Awards, Kim was slammed with memes that compared her to the Penguin from Batman; that is the last of her worries.
While pregnant with North, Kim was diagnosed with preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, often the kidneys. She also experienced placenta accreta, which is also effecting pregnancy number two.
With placenta accreta, the placenta or part of the placenta doesn’t fully detach from the uterus after a woman gives birth, which has the potential to cause major blood loss.
During an interview with C Magazine, Kim recalls the surgeries that went into making sure that she delivered a healthy child.
“It was over a year of trying, and I had so many complications,” she says. “There were a couple of little operations to fix all that [placenta accreta], 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.”
That operations didn’t put a stop to all of the troubles. It’s transferred on the boy.
“Well, they 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,” she adds.
Hmm, no matter what one thinks of a female, they go through a lot to birth children. Respect.
