'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' News, Update: Kim Kardashian Could Use Surrogate for Second Baby?
It is highly likely that Kim Kardashian-West would need to use a surrogate if ever she and husband Kanye West decide to have another child. Kim, 34, who gave birth to her first child North West in June 2013, apparently developed a problem in her uterus after she gave birth, which meant that she might not be able to carry another baby.
In the latest episode of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Kim was told that a proposed operation to remove parts of her placenta stuck in her uterus after her last birth would expose her to risks if she got pregnant again.
An emotional Kim said, ''There is nothing more on this earth that I want more than to be pregnant again and to go through that experience, I would pay any amount of money to have that."
Kim also said that surrogacy "...is really scary for me, I don't want one, I don't want that to be my reality."
If ever, it will be "...my last resort, surrogacy. As much as I hated being pregnant, and I complained every step of the way and joked that I didn't want one, I really don't want a surrogate."
She added, "I wouldn't dare ask anyone to do this for me. It freaks me out, what if they're a lunatic, what if they run off with my baby? I can't do it, I just can't."
Kim, who had been very open about her desire to have another baby with husband Kanye West said, ''I complained so much about being pregnant, I never thought I would be begging to be again. Trying for baby number two is not fun like baby number one."
During the same episode, Kris Jenner, Kim's mother, dangled the possibility of having Kim's sister Kourtney as a surrogate. Kourtney, who has had three kids with her partner Scott Dissick, also famously offered to be the surrogate for her other sister Khloe and then husband Lamar Odom's baby when Khloe was having difficulties getting pregnant.
Although Kim insists on getting pregnant and carrying her next child herself, without the help of a surrogate, we just need to wait and see whether her medical problems are indeed serious enough for her to drop this option. If surrogacy is the only answer, will she take up her mother's offer and use Kourtney?
