Rumours started spreading that the reality star and her rapper husband were expecting around Christmas time, and the 38-year-old revealed how the rumours had started.

"Well, it's out there,” she said. “I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and I told some people. I can't remember who I told, because I never get drunk."

Kris Jenner’s daughter suffers from a condition called placenta accreta, where the placenta attaches to uterine wall, making it hard to remove following birth.

Following complications and surgery she was told having more children naturally would be difficult, so got the help of a surrogate.

After giving birth to North, Kim described giving birth with the condition on her blog.

Welcome to the good life...

"My doctor had to stick his entire arm in me and detach the placenta with his hand, scraping it away from my uterus with his fingernails," she wrote. "How disgusting and painful.

“My mom was crying; she had never seen anything like this before. My delivery was fairly easy, but then going through that-it was the most painful experience of my life! They gave me a second epidural but we were racing against time, so I just had to deal.”
