'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' Update: Kim Kardashian Admitted Regretting Opting Surrogacy
The Kardashian family now has a lot of new babies. So, in the recent episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the girls talked about their newborns and it looked like Kim Kardashian was not happy with surrogacy.
In the February 25 episode, Kanye West's wife admitted that she was regretting having a surrogate. At the time of the show's filming, her surrogate might still be pregnant. So, she was worried that she won't have a deeper connection with their third baby, Chicago, as she didn't carry her herself.
In that Keeping Up with the Kardashians episode, Kim was talking to her sister Khloe and admitted her thoughts about letting another woman carry her baby. "Even though I will appreciate not having to gain the weight and then lose the weight ... I so would have rather have done it on my own," she said.
The 37-year-old reality star hoped that she will care as much to baby Chicago like she does to her first two kids. In fact, everyone has told her that it's like no different having her child from a surrogate.
According to Elite Daily, Kim might be having some doubts as it was her first time to opt for a surrogate. Another possible reason that she was regretting it was simply because surrogacy might not be for her.
There is a stereotype surrounding the use of surrogacy. Some people even said that it is the easiest way to have a baby that is if the couple has the money to pay for it.
However, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in November 2017, Kim revealed that having a surrogate is "really different." "Anyone that says or thinks it is just the easy way out is just completely wrong," she said.
She then explained that it is much harder to go through surrogacy as she will be not in control of the pregnancy. The mother-of-three admitted that she hated being pregnant, but she would still prefer to do it herself as it was never easy to opt for a surrogate. She then said that she is rolling with it and "it is what it is."
