Kim Kardashian has just denied rumors that she has already requested another Child through the surrogate mother of her and Kanye's latest child, Chicago. On Wednesday night, Jan 25, she shut down the notion, Tweeting, "fake news" in response to the rumblings.
Kim and her husband, Kanye West, just had their third child, a baby girl, on January 15, 2018, via a surrogate mother.
And it looks like at least for now, the family is content with having three children.
Circulating reports of new plans
Reports began widely circulating after Chicago was born that Kim and Kanye were looking to have another child via the same surrogate mother. But Kim saw fit to shut those rumors down.
Who knows, though, she and Kanye could always change their minds. As it stands right now, she and Kanye have two daughters and a son: North, Saint, and Chicago. Time and their Twitter accounts will tell if they decide to add another little bundle of joy to their growing family.
Pregnancy difficulties
Her decision to have her third child via surrogate was a result of her high-risk pregnancies with her last two children. After Kim gave birth to her first child, North, she released the following statement via kimkardashianwest.com:
"Last pregnancy, I had a condition called preeclampsia, which is a serious condition you can get during pregnancy; often, the only way to get rid of it is to deliver early to protect yourself and the baby."
Post- labor emergency
Later on, in this statement on kimkardashianwest.com, she described an extremely traumatic scene in which emergency measures had to be taken post-delivery due to this medical condition. To that end, the trauma she endured during that pregnancy was horrifying and speaks volumes about her strength.
The complications that arose from that delivery made it extremely doubtful that she would ever have another child. But have another, she did. On December 5, 2015, much to the joy of the family, Saint was born.
'I do feel really blessed'
"You know, it was really hard for me to get pregnant, so I do feel really blessed," she said after his birth per Redbook mag.
And though her second pregnancy had its difficulties, the experience would prove to be a lot easier than the first. She was prepared for the worst, but in the end, everything worked out as well as could be expected.
Kim is a fighter; there's no doubt about it. Her desire for motherhood was so great that she was willing to go through that whole experience again to mother a second child. Nevertheless, her decision to have her third, Chicago, via surrogate, was probably for the best.
