Kim Kardashian Admits 'Begging' Khloé To Be Surrogate For Third Child With Kanye West
Kim Kardashian’s desire to have another child with husband Kanye West has been well documented on season 13 of the star’s reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” It was revealed on a recent episode that in spite of undergoing a number of procedures, Kardashian cannot give birth naturally to another child. While she's spoken about exploring surrogacy as an option before, the star revealed Sunday that she “begged” her sister Khloé to be the surrogate for her third child.
Speaking with host Andy Cohen on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday, Kardashian said she’s not giving up on having another baby. “I have had to go through multiple things to try and do it on my own. I do not think that is looking good for me but I am not giving up,” she told Cohen, according to International Business Times UK. "So it is a process. You kind of see the whole thing on this next season of our show, of me begging Khloé to help out, but I do not want to do that to her.”

The 36-year-old reality star currently has two children West: their 3-year-old daughter North and 1-year-old son Saint. Kardashian had complicated pregnancies for both, and the star revealed on her reality show that her body cannot withstand another birth. IBT UK reported Monday that the star suffered from placenta accreta — a rare and potentially life-threatening condition in which the placenta attaches too deep in the uterine wall — during both of her pregnancies.

Kardashian wrote about her complicated breech pregnancy with Saint shortly before his December birth in 2015 on her blog, and she feared that she would be forced to undergo a cesarean section. “I'm writing this blog while up at 4 A.M., a little anxious for my delivery as I'm entering into my 36th week of pregnancy,” she wrote in November 2015, according to Us Weekly. “I've surrendered to the placenta issues and actually haven't been thinking too deeply about them lately. However, my latest concern is that my baby is breech, meaning he's in the wrong position for childbirth. His head is still up and it's supposed to be down. He was supposed to turn by 32 weeks. So now, I will have to get a C-section. Or so I thought!”

“I've learned that you actually can deliver a breech baby and I feel fortunate that my doctor Paul Crane is one of the few doctors that still does this,” she added. “They just don't even teach it anymore.” Ultimately, Kardashian was able to give birth to her son naturally, though TMZ reported the same month that doctors needed two extra hours to deal with complications with the placenta.
An episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” earlier this month revealed that both her mother Kris, 61, and sister Kourtney, 38, have offered to be surrogates.
