Kim Kardashian West has said that not carrying her third child herself was “so hard”, but that “the connection with our baby came instantly”.
The reality TV star and businesswoman’s third baby with Kanye West was delivered by surrogate on Monday.
“It’s as if she was with us the whole time,” she added in a post to her fans on Thursday.
Kardashian West was advised against getting pregnant again because of possible medical complications.
She carried her older two children, four-year-old daughter North and two-year-old son Saint, herself.
But she suffered from pre-eclampsia and placenta accreta on those occasions.
Pre-eclampsia is a condition that usually occurs in the second half of pregnancy and can cause serious complications if not monitored and treated.
Placenta accreta is when the placenta attaches itself too deeply into the wall of the uterus.
Kardashian West said in a post on her app that “doctors said that it wasn’t safe for my, or the baby’s, health to carry my own”.
The 37-year-old said she and her husband decided to use a “gestational carrier”, meaning the baby is “biologically mine and Kanye’s”.
