After announcing she desperately wants a third child, Kim Kardashian West has learnt she’ll never be able to fall pregnant again.
In the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the mum-of-two decides to go ahead with surgery to repair her uterus so she can carry another pregnancy.
“Having more kids is definitely going to be a struggle,” the 36-year-old explained.
“I’ve gone through so much with really bad deliveries that the doctors don’t feel like it’s safe for me to conceive again myself. This surgery is really the one last thing I can try. I want my kids to have siblings and I want to know that I did everything I could to make this happen.”
However, during the surgery there are some complications.
“So there’s a complication with my bladder I had to have a catheter,” Kim said while sitting in the hospital. “It’s super painful and frustrating.”
“Kanye and I have always talked about having more kids, but after what I went through in Paris, the urgency is even greater,” she went on to say to the cameras.
After the surgery the reality TV star is given the heartwrenching news that it was not successful.
“Not only has this been really painful, but now hearing that I can’t carry any more kids, it couldn’t get any worse,” she said. “I mean, f**k, like I really tried everything and I really want this and it’s just not going to happen for me.”
Throughout the episode Kim comes to terms with the fact that she can’t carry another child and starts looking into other options.
What do you say to someone who’s lost a baby? Post continues…
“Kanye and I are just going to look into other options and see what we’re comfortable with,” she said.
The idea of surrogacy is mentioned by her sister Kourtney, and Kim agrees that it’s the best option for another sibling for Saint and North.
“I’m definitely leaning more toward I want to try,” Kim tells Kourtney. “After talking to Kanye, I think that I always knew that surrogacy was an option, but I didn’t think it was that realistic of an option. Now, I feel like that’s my reality.”

As someone with gynaecological conditions that may prevent me from even having one child, this irritates me. She has 2 beautiful children they were blessed with, that should be enough. It pains me to hear of any other women having those issues, I know of quite a few, but she's had the unbelievable experience of having a child not once but twice. Be happy with what you've got, give them everything and leave it at that- everything happens for a reason (one might be that the world doesn't need another little Kanye)
I will reserve my pity for the women without two healthy kids already and enough money to use a surrogate or adopt a much wanted third child. I had a hysterectomy at 36 and was grateful that I had one child and I didn't expect anyone to play the violin for me.
So she isn't allowed to be upset? That's crap. Just because someone else has it worse off doesn't mean others don't deserve compassion.
I totally agree. I had 1 child after 5 rounds of IVF and have since tried (unsuccessfully) to give her a sibling within the last 3.5 years, including 2 more rounds of IVF. I have finally made peace with my infertility and it's one of the hardest things I've ever had to wrap my mind around.
Just because I already had 1 child did not mean I didn't want a second child just as much. It's heart breaking when someone cannot complete their family in the way they wish.
Have some compassion. She is human and has all the same emotions as any other woman, wife, mother.
Of course she has that right. She's just being selfish though.
