"Preeclampsia and placenta accreta are high-risk conditions, so when I wanted to have a third baby, doctors said that it wasn't safe for my — or the baby's — health to carry on my own," Kim revealed on her post.
Because of her conditions, Kim and Kanye then decided to have a gestational carrier to carry their third baby. Kim defended herself from people who were saying that they took the easy way out of having a baby.
"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," Kim explained on her post.
But regardless of the hardships, Kim is very thankful to the carrier of Chi, and notes that she made their dreams of having a bigger family come true.
