Kim Kardashian West thought she had miscarried baby North


Kim Kardashian West thought she had miscarried whilst pregnant with her first child and even booked in a medical procedure to remove the “dead” baby, she has revealed.

The reality TV star has six-year-old daughter North, four-year-old son Saint, two-year-old daughter Chicago and eight-month-old son Psalm, with her husband Kanye West.

She revealed the couple feared they had lost North when Kardashian West started to bleed “really heavily” while pregnant and a doctor failed to find a heartbeat.

Speaking on the All's Fair podcast, she recalled being in “so much pain” throughout the ordeal.

“I went in because you have to go in and do a [dilation and curettage] to clean out the miscarriage. My doctor said, 'Come in the morning. We'll do it Thanksgiving night so no one will see you.' I went in and there was no heartbeat and he said, 'You had a miscarriage’,” she said.

But thankfully, by Thanksgiving morning, the doctor had managed to find a heartbeat and eventually Kim gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

“Then Thanksgiving morning I came in to do it and he said, 'There's a heartbeat.' I was like, 'Oh my God, this is a sign, it's Thanksgiving morning.' We ended up obviously having North,” she said.

Kim, 39, carried both North and Saint herself, but experienced complications during both pregnancies, so opted to use surrogate mothers for her two younger children.

And the reality star recently said she believes her family is complete, and she isn't looking to expand her brood any further.


“I'd have to go through IVF and I'm nearly 40 and I don't want to be an old mom. That's the thing. I want to pay attention. I think everyone needs attention.
