In July it was reported that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were looking to hire a surrogate to help them have a third child.
And now details have been revealed about the due date: baby Kardashian-West number three is expected at the end of January!
According to TMZ, they turned to surrogacy this time because of the medical issues Kim experienced during her previous pregnancies.
Kim was advised by a doctor about the risks of carrying another child herself because of her struggles with a medical condition called placenta accreta, which became very serious during her second pregnancy.
In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which aired last year, Kim was warned she could “bleed to death” if she fell pregnant for a third time.
An insider claimed the surrogate they’ve hired is in her twenties, and she was approached by Kim and Kanye through an agency.
A source told People: “The entire family is over the moon. Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate.”
“They want everything to be perfect and for the baby to be extremely healthy. They don’t want any complications and Kim is providing an ideal eating regimen and diet so everyone knows what the baby is consuming before it's born.”
Kim and Kanye married back in May 2014 – and they are already parents to North, four, and Saint, one.
Conrgats, Kimye!
