Two things Kim Kardashian has not been a big fan of over the last year: pregnancy problems and fat-shaming!

The reality star opened up in the September issue of C magazine and admitted that fertility issues took the fun out of being pregnant with her son. “It was over a year of trying, and I had so many complications,” Kardashian tells the publication about her desire to get preggers with baby number two. “I had this condition called placenta accreta. There were a couple little operations to fix all that, so that created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again.”
The soon to be mother-of-two reveals she would “go to the doctor in Beverly Hills every day at five in the morning to get tested to see if I was ovulating,” and would make sure to have her husband Kanye West nearby just in case she was — which largely removed to romance factor of it all. “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,” she says.
Kardashian also opens up about how she’s been experiencing some weight gain issues, although she feels “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 that everyone would make fun of, not understanding that I had this condition.”
“It was the worst! I couldn’t help it, and everyone would say, ‘She can’t stop eating,’” Kardashian says, while talking about fat-shaming reports. “I delivered at 180, and they were like, ‘She’s 210 pounds. She’s getting dumped because she’s too fat,’ and all these ridiculous stories.”
Kimmy explains that all the fat-shaming she faced “changed the way I viewed wanting my picture taken.” She explains, “Before I was always smiling, and so in to being out and about. After I had the baby, I was like, ‘These are the same people that made fun of me, and posted the stories that were so awful, calling me fat for something I couldn’t control. I don’t want to smile for them. I don’t want to be out.’”
“When I was pregnant with [North], I thought, ‘My life is so hectic — how am I gonna take her to ballet classes and soccer?’” she recalls. “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.”
Kardashian continues, “I was forced to take a break for awhile, I never liked downtime, but I decided I enjoyed it — that’s when the fun ideas come about. I felt like I was, I don’t want to say overexposed, but I had too many different projects.”
But surprisingly enough, Kardashian admits the only reason she was able to end up going out is because the paparazzi were “really respectful.”
“That’s probably why I can take [North] to ballet and things that she enjoys, because I feel like there has been a boundary that we’ve set,” Kim says, explaining, “It’s about teaching our kids that it’s a different world; there’s social media where you can be scrutinized… but it can be hard on your soul when you are so scrutinized.” Kardashian adds, “So it’s just about raising strong children. I would pray that whoever we bring into this life could handle this lifestyle, and I really believe they can. They chose us because they can.”
