‘Everyone made fun of me’: Hurtful pregnancy comments hit Kim hard

In an interview with C Magazine Kim Kardashian has revealed how hard she took the criticism she received during her first pregnancy.

The reality star bore the brunt of a lot of unfair comments about her weight gain in her last pregnancy, even though most of those extra pounds were due to preeclampsia, a condition characterised by high blood pressure and fluid retention.

"Everyone would make fun of [me], not understanding that I had this condition," she says.

The 34-year-old said all of this was extremely hurtful during her last pregnancy and it affected how much she wanted to be photographed being out and about. 

"Before I was always smiling, and so into being out and about. After I had the baby, I was like, these are the same people that made fun of me, and posted the stories that were so awful, calling me fat for something I couldn’t control. I don’t want to smile for them. I don’t want to be out."

Despite the hurtful comments, Kim was keen to conceive again, but conceiving a second time proved extremely tough. One complication in particular which made the process difficult was placenta accreta, a condition which required a few minor operations. 

The mother of one, who is expecting her second child at the end of this year, said she went to great lengths in the hope of becoming pregnant for a second time but that it was an extremely long road. 

"I would go to the doctor in Beverly Hills every day at five in the morning to get tested to see if I was ovulating. I was trying everything: I did acupuncture and got a nutritionist to eat healthier, thinking that was an issue."

Kim went on to say that constantly trying so hard to get pregnant may have ruined the excitement a bit saying: "It takes the fun out of it. I’m like, 'I’m ovulating, get home now!' He’d be like, 'Wait, I’m in the studio.'”

Kim then explained that she may have to go as far as having her uterus removed following the birth of her second child. 

"Well, they think I’ll have placenta accreta again, so if the placenta grows a little bit deeper than it did last time, then they are prepared to have my uterus removed, which is a little scary for me. I think we’re just gonna go day by day, see how overwhelming it is, and see how the delivery goes."

Wishing her all the best.
