Now parents of many children, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, accept congratulations! Last Monday, January 15, at 12:47 Los Angeles time, the surrogate mother helped give birth to a girl weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces, whom she carried and gave birth to for the couple.

37-year-old Kardashian, who this time will not have to recover for a long time after a difficult birth that risked her life, announced this joyful event on her website, titling the message to the public “She’s here!”

Kim's message reads:

“Kanye and I are happy to announce the birth of our healthy, beautiful baby girl. We are infinitely grateful to our surrogate mother, who made us real cherished dream, and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their care. North and Saint are excited and happy to meet their sister. With Love, Kim Kardashian West."

The baby's name has not yet been announced.

Details of birth

As an insider told the media, both Kim and Kanye were present at the birth, but West stood behind the screen until the baby was born. The reality TV star was the first to hold the baby in her arms, allowing the surrogate mother to see and interact with the child.

Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, as well as the matriarch of the clan Kris Denner, having learned about the approaching joyful event, rushed to Medical Center Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, where the birth took place, to quickly meet the newborn niece and granddaughter.

Yesterday, Kim Kardashian became a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres show, where she could not hide all her secrets from the TV presenter. Thus, the 37-year-old reality star declassified the gender of her unborn child, who will be born to her and her husband Kanye West by a surrogate mother. So, the show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" will be replenished... with a girl!

Guests brought toys and gifts to the baby shower, and my daughter North opened them all the next day. She justified her action as follows: “Mom, my little sister is not born yet, so let all her toys be in my room. I will play with them, just to make sure that they suit our baby,”

Kim told Ellen, confirming that she and her husband were expecting a daughter. It is noteworthy that the TMZ portal announced the gender of Kardashian and West’s unborn child back in September of this year, but then this information was nothing more than rumors.

Anyone who thinks that surrogacy is just an easy way out is completely wrong. In my opinion, going through this is much more difficult, because I cannot somehow control the process. Of course, for this you find a person whom you completely trust and who you can rely on, but this does not relieve you of worries. It’s hard for me to realize that I myself carried two children, and now I can’t do it. It's also hard not knowing where my child is every second. Surrogacy is more difficult than I expected,” Kim said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Note that the decision to use the services of a surrogate mother was made by Kim and Kanye after doctors forbade Kardashian to give birth naturally in order to prevent an unfavorable outcome due to her disease - placenta accreta. Both of Kim's pregnancies - daughter North and son Saint - were very difficult for her. According to Us Magazine and a number of other foreign media, the third child of Kim and Kanye

We have written more than once that reality TV star Kim Kardashian dreams of big family, but health problems do not allow her to give birth on her own. That is why she and her husband, rapper Kanye West, turned to the services of a surrogate mother. Now the Western press is writing about when Kim Kardashian's third child will be born.

Let us remember that a few months ago it became known that the 36-year-old and 40-year-old were preparing to become parents for the third time with the help, since doctors forbade the reality show star to give birth on her own. For now famous couple does not expand on this topic, leaving details for the release of the new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

But still, insiders said that Kim Kardashian's baby is due at the end of January, and now the stars are actively preparing for a new addition to the family.

The whole family is incredibly happy. Kim searched for a surrogate mother for several months until she found the ideal candidate. Due to health problems and concerns about this, Kim realized that she and Kanye could not do without the help of an agency in selecting a surrogate mother. The agency became a connection and helped find a healthy woman who was ideal for Kim and Kanye. They were both fully involved in the process and participated in the search.

This information was reported by an insider from the circle of the woman, who recently went completely naked, to People magazine. Kanye West's wife had several reasons to hire . The fact is that Kim developed: then she had deep placenta accreta, which made Kim’s labor long and very painful. In addition, Kim Kardashian was shocked by excess weight, which I gained during pregnancy. Therefore, it was decided to find a woman who would carry Kanye’s baby. Famous mom, who will soon be raising three children, is also afraid whether she will love this baby as much as those whom she carried under her heart.

I am haunted by the question of what feelings arise between mother and child in the case of surrogacy. I myself carried and gave birth to two children. I have walked this path twice from beginning to end and I know for sure that your child always feels your love, he is right under your heart, right inside you. This is why I feel such a strong connection with my children. I wonder if I would feel the same way if my child was carried by a surrogate?

Time will tell how Kim Kardashian will cope with all the challenges. And we remind you that recently.

Kim Kardashian decided not to carry a child on her own due to health problems. At first, the girl who became a surrogate mother for the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did not know who the parents of the child she was carrying were. “At first she didn’t know,” the TV star told The Real. - Actually, this can be done completely anonymously. We can just choose this path, and I was just thinking, whoever is carrying my baby, what if she's not a fan of me or my husband? What if she doesn't want to carry my baby? I wanted to give this person a choice and be proud of it, but on the other hand, I wanted to communicate with her.”

Fortunately, the surrogate mother of the Kardashian-West couple's third daughter turned out to be an ardent fan of both: “She was delighted! She was the kind of person who watches the show, not the kind of superfan that makes you feel uncomfortable, but she saw me struggling and that I was open about it.”

In September, the identity - but not the name - of Kim Kardashian's surrogate mother became known to the press. She turned out to be a black American college student - in her twenties, married, with two children. She was required to lead absolutely healthy image life, eat right - Kim developed a diet - do not smoke, drink or take drugs, avoid hot baths, do not dye your hair and give up raw fish. It was reported that the woman should receive a total of $68,850. But to ensure the safety of the surrogate mother of the future baby, Kardashian and West spent $1.96 million.

She moved into a house in the Los Angeles suburbs, equipped modern system security, she was surrounded by six guards replacing each other, she had her own driver.

“Kim and Kanye rented a house an hour outside of Los Angeles in a nondescript middle-class suburb for their surrogate mother,” a source told The Sun. - That is, this last place, which you would think about if you wanted to find a surrogate mother richest family Hollywood."

Kim Kardashian did not invite the child's surrogate mother to the baby shower, a traditional US party in honor of the upcoming birth of a baby. She had introduced her to her family the day before, but did not dare invite her to the party because she did not know how to explain her appearance to her children. Surrogate mother the baby, in turn, did not allow the couple to be present at the birth. Despite the fact that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West dreamed of seeing their third child born, the surrogate mother did not find this idea attractive. The parents had no choice but to agree.

Kim Kardashian became a mother only in her third marriage. First two marriages (with music producer Damon Thomas and basketball player Kris Humphries) turned out to be short-lived and far from traditional ideas about a harmonious union.

The star of the popular reality show Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West had their first child, daughter North, in 2013. At that time, Kim and Kanye were not yet officially married; the couple decided to register their relationship only a year after the birth of their daughter.

She even wrote about how difficult it was for Kim to have her first pregnancy on her blog.

Kardashian suffered from preeclampsia, a disease that posed a great threat to both the health of Kim and her baby. As a result, North was born prematurely, six weeks early. And the birth itself took place with great complications. “Immediately after birth, the placenta usually comes out. It didn't work out for me. My placenta remained attached inside my uterus. The doctor had to literally stick his hand inside me up to my elbow and tear the placenta off by hand. Disgusting and very painful!” — the TV star wrote. According to her, after the birth, part of the placenta was still inside, so it was necessary to have an operation to remove it. However, the difficulties did not end there: she had to undergo surgery to remove scar tissue, which could prevent her from getting pregnant a second time.

Kim was able to experience the joy of motherhood again two and a half years later: in December 2015, her son Saint West was born. However, the pregnancy was even more painful - doctors suspected the TV personality of gestational diabetes, her body was swollen, and her health was getting worse. “I don’t like my condition. Swelling, back pain. My body is getting bigger and bigger, none of my clothes fit. I can’t help but feel like I’m not in my skin,” Kardashian wrote on her blog. After giving birth, complications were so severe that the press even reported that Kim might have to have her uterus removed.

Despite all the hardships of pregnancy and childbirth, the children of Kim and Kanye are absolutely healthy and often become heroes of gossip columns. North has already posed for Karl Lagerfeld himself, appeared on the pages of Vogue and often became the heroine of the street style column when she appeared with her star mother at fashion shows. Parents pay great attention to raising their daughter, so four-year-old North takes up drawing, swimming, ballet and even fencing.

About youngest son Not much is known about the most talked about couple in America - after the robbery in Paris, Kim decided to stop so actively demonstrating her personal life on social networks.

However, sometimes footage of the young heir is leaked to the press, in which the influence of the fashion industry guru is clearly visible: on the head two year old child African braids, and his wardrobe may be the envy of other fashionistas.
