It first came to light in June last year that the A-list couple have hired a surrogateand were reportedly paying her $4,500 in monthly instalments. The 37-year-old mum has been open in the past about suffering from preeclampsia and placenta accreta and even admitted her fears about surrogacy.
She explained on Keeping Up With The Kardashians: "My biggest fear is that, if I had a surrogate would I love them the same. That's the main thing I keep thinking about... That scares me."
Kim and Kanye later decided that they would get a surrogate to carry their third child and now the mum-of-three has opened up about the difficulties she faced not carrying her newborn baby. On her app, she explained: "I have always been really honest about my struggles with pregnancy.
"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.
"After exploring many options, Kanye and I decided to use a gestational carrier."
She went on to reveal that gestational carrier is actually when the surrogate carries the baby but is not biologically related to it, "A traditional surrogate donates her egg, is artificially inseminated with the father’s sperm and then carries the baby to term.
"Since we implanted my fertilized egg in our gestational carrier, our baby is biologically mine and Kanye’s."
She later explained to her fans why gestational carrier is not the "easy way out," she wrote: "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."
She concluded her post by admitting that the gestational carrier was "the best experience I've ever had" she went on to say: "Our gestational carrier gave us the greatest gift one could give.
"The connection with our baby came instantly and it’s as if she was with us the whole time. Having a gestational carrier was so special for us and she made our dreams of expanding our family come true.
"We are so excited to finally welcome home our baby girl."
Aww.
Shortly after Kim welcomed her third child into the world, fans began to question whether Kylie Jenner was her sister's surrogate.
