Kim Kardashian Pregnancy Update: Kim To Have Hysterectomy After Son's Birth
Kim Kardashian has opened up about her anxieties leading up to her second baby's delivery on her website.
Among her worries is the reoccurrence of her pregnancy condition called placenta accreta, which she had when she was pregnant with North West. Kardashian expressed her worry about having to undergo hysterectomy if the same situation happens again when she gives birth to her son in December.
Kardashian recalled the struggles and pain she went through from having placenta accreta during her first pregnancy on her website and app. The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star expressed her fears of having to experience that pain all over again. Kardashian confessed her worry of having to relive the "most painful experience" of her life with her second baby's delivery.
"With the issues I had last time, my risk of having preclampsia and placenta acreeta (sic) are increased and there's not a whole lot I can do to prevent it, so my anxiety is a little high leading up to my delivery," she wrote.
The 35-year-old revealed that she "may need a hysterectomy" if her condition after delivery is "severe enough." However, she said that her doctor, Dr. Paul Crane, has so far assured her that there is no need for the operation.
However, beyond all her anxieties about her second pregnancy Kardashian is keeping up a positive outlook. Although she admitted that there are days when she gets so scared, her doctor has always been there to talk to her and calm her nerves. Kardashian also wrote a few words of advice to women who share her condition.
"My advice to anyone going through this or anything difficult during pregnancy is that all you can do is be hopeful, get the best information out there and just be prepared. The more information you have, the better you know how to handle it!" she wrote on her website.
Kardashian has always been very open about her pregnancy and even her fertility struggles. This is not the first time she has talked about her first delivery and about having placenta accreta. She had spoken candidly about her condition in an interview with C Magazine.
During her interview, Kardashian had expressed her worry about having to undergo a hysterectomy after giving birth to her son. Kardashian shared that if her "placenta grows a little bit deeper that it did" when she was pregnant with North then her doctor may decide to have her uterus removed after delivery.
