Kim Kardashian Baby Born Early Due to 'Medical Complications'
Kim Kardashian allegedly suffered medical complication before her baby was born, forcing a much earlier birth date than expected according to reports.
While Kim Kardashian and Kanye West appear to be at ease now after celebrating the birth of their first child, just before the baby was born doctors were concerned about the child's health. Kardashian's baby was born several weeks early and at birth, weighed less than five pounds, according to Radar Online.
The early birth was a result of "medical complications" after Kardashian was diagnosed with having an infection.
