Kim Kardashian and now-ex Kanye West started growing their family in 2013, and the reality star has been gushing about her children ever since.
The former couple, who began living separately in 2020 before she filed for divorce in February 2021, first welcomed their daughter North, followed by Saint in 2015 and Chicago three years later. Psalm arrived in 2019. While Kardashian carried her first two babies, she welcomed her third and fourth via surrogate at the advice of her doctors.
Kardashian suffered from placenta accreta, which is when the placenta attaches too deep in the uterine wall, during her pregnancies with North and Saith.
“I had something called placenta accreta where the placenta grows inside your uterus,” she said on Laura Wasser’s “All Fair” podcast in 2020. “It’s honestly what people would die from in childbirth, so you have to get the placenta out within a certain amount of time and you just can internally bleed.”
She added, “So, there’s no choice — this is so graphic and gross — but he had to literally cut the placenta off with his hands, with his fingernails, inside of you. And it left a hole in my uterus, and so that muscle doesn’t grow back.”
