When Kim Kardashian discovered she was pregnant with daughter North West, she was still married to basketball player Kris Humphries. It was more than a year after she and Humphries had split, but their divorce proceedings continued to drag on. Eventually, Humphries and Kardashian did have a legal divorce and following that, North West came into the world. Kardashian would later wed North’s father Kanye West in Europe.
While Kim’s first pregnancy seemed to happen easily, she revealed to the Daily Mail that having baby number two has been a lot harder. Kardashian made the statements at the E! International Press Junket in Los Angeles on Friday.
It’s been more challenging to get pregnant the second time around… I want another baby so bad, but it’s not happening… When you’re not planning it, it happens. It’s just how God works. And when you want it so bad, it’s not happening.
There were rumors a couple of weeks back that Kardashian was having difficulty conceiving, which Kardashian seems to confirm with her statements to the Mail. West and Kardashian had been trying to get pregnant for at least nine months, but had no success.
Kim Kardashian’s statements come mere days after the season finale of Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons. The program ended with a tease about a pregnancy test in the upcoming Kardashian series. Khloe took to Instagram to pose the who’s pregnant? question, singling out herself, Kim, and sister Kendall Jenner as possibilities. The Instagram photo also included Kourtney, who just had her third baby with partner Scott Disick.
Kim recently opened up to Elle UK about her and Kanye’s desire to conceive naturally if possible, although the couple will consider alternatives if necessary.
I want a boy and another girl; I want it to start happening straight away. I loved being part of a huge family – and I want that for North. We’d do IVF if nothing happens, but we both want to keep trying naturally.
But sometimes the unexpected happens. Kim was looking at her medical options when she got her wish for a baby.
A few years ago I was told I could never get pregnant. Three different doctors told me the same thing, which is why I wanted to have my eggs frozen. I was just about to do that when I found out I was pregnant with North.
As for the rumors flying around about her relationship, Kardashian took to Twitter on December 31 to reveal she and West were having a quiet New Year’s. She said they were happy and not expecting a baby
