Kim K reveals she may have a hysterectomy after her 2nd baby

Kim Kardashian West has revealed she may be forced to
have a hysterectomy following the birth of her second
child.
The 34-year-old star who has two-year-old daughter
North aka Nori, with husband Kanye West - said she had 'so
many' complications during her first pregnancy made it
difficult to conceive a second time.
And if one of the conditions - placenta accreta - returns
it could mean she won't be able to have any more children.
She told C Magazine: '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.'
The condition occurs when parts of the placenta grow too
deeply into the uterine wall and it can cause severe blood
loss after delivery. It can result in an early C-section
delivery followed by the surgical removal of the uterus,
which is called a hysterectomy.
She said the couple endured a 'long road' to get pregnant
with their unborn son.
She had a 'couple little operations' to address the issues
caused by placenta accreta after the birth.
She explained: 'That created a little hole in my uterus,
which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again.'
Second time around, she says: '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.'
The E! reality star says constantly checking if she was
ovulating sucked 'the fun out of' her and Kanye's
attempts to get pregnant.
'I’m like, "I’m ovulating, get home now!" He’d be like,
"Wait, I’m in the studio,"' she recalls.
But Kim also noted how grateful she is that her second
pregnancy has been easier than her first.
'I also feel lucky that, as of right now, I don’t feel
like I’m gonna get preeclampsia again, which last
time [contributed to] not only the weight, but also
the swelling.'
In the interview she said reiterated that she had been 180
lbs when she delivered North.
The reality star was also candid about how she has become
much more relaxed about the idea of motherhood since
having her first child.
'When I was pregnant with North, I thought, My life is so
hectic - how am I gonna take her to ballet classes and
soccer?' Kim admitted.
'I had these visions of all the things I did growing up, and I
was really freaked out. And when it happens, you just
instinctively know how to do it.'
