She gave birth to a healthy baby boy on December 5th, but Kim Kardashian’s labor sounded like it was excruciating.
Sources told TMZ that Kardashian suffers from “placenta accreta,” which occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus.
This added a reported two hours to the delivery, but Kardashian was able to have her child naturally rather than via C-section.
“The Issue made the birth more difficult,” sources told the site.
“Kim’s recovering from what she’s calling a ‘very painful’ experience, but we’re told the ordeal’s taken its toll on her appetite. No cravings … just a lot of hospital oatmeal.”
Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian were seen arriving at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles to visit the newest addition.
Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick also stopped by to congratulate Kim and Kanye;
Kim has been honest about her difficult pregnancy, telling fans that after North West’s birth, her doctor had to go in and “scrape out” her uterus because the placenta would not come out.
Last week, Kim and Kanye’s son was breeched, Kim had to undergo a procedure to move the little guy into the proper position.
“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,” Kardashian wrote on her site.
“His head is still up and it’s supposed to be down. He was supposed to turn by 32 weeks.”
At press time, Kim and Kanye still have not released their son’s name.
