 Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Hire Surrogate for 3rd Child 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have made a deal with a surrogate to have another child ... TMZ has learned. 
 
 As we reported, Kim has a condition -- placenta accreta -- which makes another pregnancy life-threatening. So Kim and Kanye have found a surrogate through an agency and agreed to pay the following: 
 
 -- $45,000 in 10, $4,500 monthly installments 
 
 -- If there are multiples, the surrogate gets $5k for each additional kid 
 
 -- If the surrogate loses reproductive organs, she gets $4,000 
 
 Kim and Kanye are also required to deposit $68,850 with the agency. 
 
 The surrogate is required to refrain from smoking, drinking and drugs during the pregnancy. She also agrees to restrict sexual activities in the weeks leading up to the pregnancy, including foregoing sexual intercourse for 3 weeks following embryo implantation. 
 
 The surrogate cannot go in hot tubs or saunas, cannot handle or change cat litter, apply hair dye, drink more than one caffeinated beverage per day or eat raw fish. 
 
 The agreement provides that Kim and Kanye "assume the legal and parental responsibilities for any child ... that may possess any congenital or other abnormalities or defects." ||||| Let the name game begin. 
 
 Multiple sources tell E! News that Kim Kardashian has decided to have another baby with husband Kanye West. The E! reality star and the Grammy-winning musician are already parents to daughter North West, 4, and son Saint West, 18 months. Because Kim has placenta accreta, making a third pregnancy potentially life-threatening, they used an agency to hire a surrogate. 
 
 The question of whether to have another child is one Kim has been public about in the past. 
 
 In the Nov. 13, 2016 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim—who celebrated her third wedding anniversary May 2—said she "would love to maybe" have another baby. So, she talked to OB/GYN Dr. Paul Crane to weigh her options, given her complicated pregnancies and deliveries. Because she suffered from toxemia and a retained placenta, which was "traumatic" on her body, the odds of her having another difficult pregnancy are higher, Dr. Crane explained.
– Kim Kardashian and Kanye West want a third child, despite the fact that Kim has a health condition that would make another pregnancy too risky. So, according to TMZ, the couple has hired a surrogate through an agency. Sources have confirmed the story to other outlets, including People and E!. Per TMZ, Kardashian and West will pay the surrogate $45,000, plus more for each additional child if there are multiples and still more should the surrogate lose any reproductive organs during the process. The contract also has a number of stipulations for the surrogate, including the requirement that she not dye her hair, change cat litter, or drink more than one caffeinated beverage per day while pregnant.
