A tough pregnancy
The reality star made it no secret that her pregnancy wasn't as easy as she expected. It wasn't a smooth ride for Kim, who compared her experience to sister Kourtney's. She told People, "Being pregnant is not as easy as my sister made it look or as my mom has made it look. It’s a little painful. I’ve gotten sick a couple times, and that puts you out."
Maternity style advice
Kim was a pretty stylish mom-to-be when she was pregnant with North. The irony is that she wouldn't recommend the same to the rest of us. At a red carpet event for Elle magazine, she was asked to share her maternity style advice. She said, "I recommend hiding for a good year and having no pregnancy style. That’s what I recommend. If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house." Jeez! That doesn't sound like fun at all!
Happy it's a girl
It wasn't all terrible for Kim during her pregnancy. She loved finding out she was expecting a mini Kardashian-West princess. "I'm so excited we're having a girl. Who doesn't want a girl? I think they are the best," she told E!.
Concealing the weight gain
Kim may have been stylish throughout her pregnancy, but she wasn't crazy about the added pounds. "At this stage I guess I'm more focused on concealing the weight gain than I am about dressing the bump," she wrote in her blog.
THAT gown
Everyone was talking about Kim's floral print red carpet look at the 2013 Met Gala. The Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci was inspired by her bump and found it beautiful. "To me, pregnancy is the most beautiful thing in the world, and when you celebrate something, you give people flowers. I think she looked amazing," he said.
Stomach infection
Morning sickness and weight gain weren't the only symptoms Kim had to suffer through. She suffered sharp abdominal pain and learned she had appendicitis. "Getting appendicitis while pregnant is not fun. It's not easy. It's gonna be really tough to go through," she said on KUWTK.
Calling out Kanye
Kim's stepdad Bruce Jenner wasn't too pleased with Kanye West while the star was expecting. He told Extra!, "He's never … he's not around. He was in Paris the whole time writing, and he just hasn't been around."
Liver shutting down
Kim went into emergency labor on June 15th because of health complications due to a condition known as toxemia. She delivered five weeks early. "I have really high blood pressure. My liver is shutting down. The only way to get rid of it is to deliver the baby. I have to deliver the baby today," she said on KUWTK.
Swearing off more children
Kim suffered a rough pregnancy and often joked that she would never want to get pregnant again. "After being pregnant, I would definitely say I'd never do this again," she revealed to Ryan Seacrest.
Desperately wanting to get pregnant
Soon after giving birth to North, Kim was willing to forget her pregnancy woes and wanted to have more children. She also told Ryan Seacrest, "It was a really hard pregnancy. But I love my daughter so much, and I know what it was like to grow up with siblings, so I definitely want to have more."
