While Kim Kardashian has been a hot mess during this pregnancy, I actually have to admit that she seems to be doing it a lot better than her first time around. Her first pregnancy threw her for a loop – she was uncomfortable, she didn’t know how to dress, Kanye was never around and she kept on flying all over the place. She really hated being pregnant the first time, and it doesn’t surprise me at all that she still hates it. She was complaining about her second pregnancy on the very day she announced it!
Well, Kim is complaining again. She has devoted an entire blog post to her pregnant misery. Am I the only one enjoying this? Whenever I say that, people are always like “OMG, you’re so mean!” I don’t mean it like that though – I just mean that in celebrityville, every woman feels the need to talk about their magical pregnancies and how they always felt amazing the entire time. It’s refreshing to hear from someone who absolutely loathes her pregnancies.
Not here for it! Kim Kardashian hopes her and Kanye West’s baby boy arrives sooner than later. The pregnant reality star complained on her website about her second pregnancy in an honest new post titled “From the Desk Of: How I Really Feel About Being Pregnant.”
“I’m gonna keep it real: For me, pregnancy is the worst experience of my life! LOL!”
Kardashian, 34, wrote on Monday, Oct. 5. “I don’t enjoy one moment of it and I don’t understand people who enjoy it. Maybe it’s the swelling, the backaches or just the complete mindf—k of how your body expands and nothing fits. I just always feel like I’m not in my own skin. I don’t feel sexy, either — I feel insecure and most of the time I just feel gross.”
But it doesn’t end there. Kardashian — who once said she and West had sex “500 times a day” while trying to conceive — also isn’t thrilled with what happens after giving birth.
“People just don’t tell you all of the gross things that happen during pregnancy or after. Do you know you basically have to wear a diaper for two months afterwards?! LOL! No one told me that! #SoSexy.”
In the end though, it’s worth it: “Really, it is all SO worth it when you have your precious baby in the end! So for all my complaining, it’s 100 percent worth it and more!!!”
Aw, now I truly feel sorry for her. She sounds like she’s having a really hard time. What I’ve always said about Kim is the same thing I always said about Jessica Simpson: they were always going to get really big during their pregnancies, that’s just their body type. All the pregnant girls think they’re going to carry like Jaime King or Gisele Bundchen, but models are the exceptions to the rule! Short, curvy women are – generally speaking – always going to be super-uncomfortable while pregnant.
Also: diaper? I mean, I know that happens, but we might have an explanation for why she’s looked so diaper-butty the past few years.

Here come the hippy moms to attack in 3.2.1…
ha ha.,…that’s funny.
I loath everything Kardashian but I hated being pregnant too. I would look at the calender and imagine my life when I was no longer pregnant. I felt like my life couldn’t continue until I was not pregnant. It had nothing to do with the baby.
I didn’t like it either…sick as a dog for the first half and huge for the second half (I had big healthy babies). So I get that.
However, I dressed comfortably and didn’t parade around on sky high heels wearing skintight clothes and spanx.
I also wasn’t married to a gay guy who looked at me as a Barbie doll he could dress. So, some of this is her own doing.
Yes, at least she’s honest. I get so tired of all the celebs saying how wonderful it is. Maybe it is for some of them but not all of them as they would like us to believe. I’m glad she’s honest.
I find her candor absolutely honest and refreshing. I felt much the same way when I was pregnant. It was not fun at all; the bladder that doesn’t work properly, the weird sharp pains along the sides of my body above the groin area, the poor sleeps, the aching back, the diminished lung capacity, the hemerroids, etc. If I had known in advance, I probably would have still gone through with it, but only because of the sweet reward at the end. I’m sure she feels much the same way.
Right, pregnancy can be difficult, we all know that, but I also loathe anything Kardashian, too…..I hate hearing her complain, I just want her to go away. Period.
But, her reason is selfish. She gained weight and she’s freaking out.
She had morning sickness, we heard about it every day. Then she’s endorsing a drug, the ad gets pulled and all of a sudden…no more morning sickness.
I love her for being honest. When women tell me they love being pregnant, I want to smack them. It’s ok to admit that it sucks. You can still be a good mom and love your children.
I guess I’m in the minority here…I had a very easy pregnancy. No morning sickness, swelling, only gained 25lbs, which has completely fell off and then some, 18 months post pregnancy, I worked 10hr days up until my 39th week..didn’t even have to buy new scrub pants, no stretch marks. However, I was exhausted the 1st and 3rd trimester and it wreaked havoc on my marriage..the Mr. was dying from the lack of intamacy and was dreading the attention that I would give to the baby and the fact that he would come last. I’ve never seen a man be jealous of his own unborn child. With all the marriage troubles I was thrilled about having such a easy pregnancy and one hell of a SnapBack. My body, minus some slight sagging in the boob department, is rockin like never before. *ducks*
Just waiting for my marriage snap back to play catch up and get back on track:(
HATED HATED HATED being pregnant. The first trimesters were OK, but then it got awkward. LOL. But I love the spawn so much, that in the end, I’ll pretend to not remember how much I hated pregnancy. Both times.
Same here. I was miserable most of my pregnancy and couldn’t wait to push them out, get them in my arms and have my body back. They were absolutely worth it, but never want to do THAT again!
I hated being preggers. I vomited the entire 1st trimester. I was an emotional wreck the entire second trimester and by the third the baby was so big I felt like I couldn’t breathe without effort. I probably would have died in childbirth had I lived 50-100 years ago.
I’m pregnant right now with my first, and I am miserable! I expected pregnancy to be some magical experience, and as awesome as it is to feel the baby kicking and moving, that’s the only “magical” thing about it so far! I’ve been nauseous, dizzy, tired, or uncomfortable pretty much the whole time! I told my husband I’m not sure there’ll be a second after this experience! So, even if it is Kim Kardashian, I am glad someone else is saying it’s not easy, because for lots of ladies, it’s not!
Good for her for talking about it. I’m happy to hear women gush about their pregnancy, happy to hear women talk about the meh sides, happy to hear women talk about their biological bodies. I wish we could talk openly about our periods, our hormones, our moodswings. I’m tired of how our actually, biological reality is deemed gross or improper. This is also our life.
I’m here for this comment and more like it.
I agree. I’m not a huge fan of this family’s need to share every detail of their life, but I appreciate her honesty here.
Awesome comment!
TRUTH! I hated all of my pregnancy so much that we are NOT doing it again. My husband agreed….
I’m with you. Hating being pregnant and the fact that my 2-year-old has regressed and stopped sleeping throught the night may put us in the only child category too.
Not a bad thing.
@Gabrielle I feel your pain as far as the difficult baby thing. My hubby is very hands on and we barely made it past the first 3 months. The q3hr feedings are rough enough, add fussiness and gas to the mix and you can forget about it! Thank god for something called Apple Gripe Water that settled the little ones tummy and had her sleeping for 12hrs at 4months. Problem now is that we have no support and hardly ever get a night to ourselves. Datenights are non existent which has taken a toll on our marriage. I wouldn’t mind having a 2nd child but my husband is completely against it.
Appreciate her honesty? Huh, I think Kim is really good at playing people. This is awesome PR that is suddenly getting her loads of positive comments from women who have experienced pregnancy. Of course any woman who has given birth is going to empathize with statements. Im just too cynical to take this at face value. She’s lied and exaggerated before to get sympathy, and I think she’s doing it again in this post.
You can tell she hates being pregnant bc she looks miserable and her body has significantly changed and looks uncomfortable accruing to most women here? Your cynicism is YOUR problem, not hers. what she said is also not bs.
why does everything have to be sexy with her?? i mean i get not liking pregnancy, a friend of mine just had a baby and all I heard for 9 months were complaints, but not about being so-not-sexy!
Because being sexy is the center of Kim’s self-centered narcissistic universe. She basically is saying it’s all she’s good for and if she can’t be that she’s miserable. Shallow as ever.
For her, if she’s not sexy, she doesn’t exist.
Ugggggh. She didn’t say “everything” was about being sexy. Pregnancy makes her feel insecure in her body. That’s the experience of many women. Many women like feeling sexy, and feel less sexy when they’re pregnant and bloated and sick etc. I mean, good for you if you don’t care about feeling sexy I guess? But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel sexy. It’s completely normal.
Gawd, we women can be such dicks to each other.
Yes I care about feeling sexy, but the reality is there’s times that’s not the priority.
@lurker
OMG THANK YOU!!! Because it’s Kim kardashian, people feel completely justified to attack her over anything and everything (mostly the everything part 😒), but if pretty much any other celebrity said that no one would bat an eye. Lots of women love to feel sexy, I know I do, and there’s NOTHING wrong with that. In fact I can even relate to what she said; as I’ve always been small, I will probably feel very unsexy when I grow much larger when pregnant. And I definitely don’t put all my self worth into how sexy I am lol.
i wold have made this comment for any celeb tbh, not because it’s kim. i’m not a kim basher, I mostly don’t care about her.
there’s nothing wrong in wanting to feel sexy per se, it just puzzles me that it’s her focus. not “omg i’m so uncomfortable and i can’t sleep properly, i’m exhausted etc” all the things my friend used to say, the first thing kim mentions is that she’s not sexy. idk, she sounds like she needs to develop other things she can proud of other than her sexiness. it leads to a very miserable and restrictive life tbh, if that’s what matters the most.
@lurker
But for her it *is* about being sexy! I mean, look at the way she keeps dressing herself – al these uncomfortable heels, tight skirts, breasts hanging out – she is desperately trying to be sexy all the time!
We are not being dicks. Look at her outfits, she can’t stand not being sexy for even one second.
Thanks @lurker!! Being pregnant was a long time for me personally to feel unsexy and I definitely did. And I am not photographed and dissected daily. There were many tearful episodes my husband had to endure with me sobbing about feeling unattractive and unsexy while pregnant. So I understand where Kim is coming from. But, BUT, I wish she’d cut herself some slack with her outfits. She is trying to maintain her previous look while forgetting she is changing daily. I hope that at least at the end of the day, when no one is around, she pulls on some sweatpants and a comfy tee and slippers and relaxes.
Kim is kind of pathetic in that she feels the need to keep doing the daily pap strolls for affirmation that she is not receiving. Kim.. Take a break!! Stop!!
RIGHT? I’ve been pregnant twice, while I didn’t hate, it certainly wasn’t the pony wrap in rainbow blanket that some of those celebrities make it out to be. But not feeling “sexy” wasn’t my source of discomfort. It’s just so bizarre that a grown woman’s only concern in life seem to be “being sexy”.
+1000.
I don’t see that she’s listed not feeling sexy as her only concern. She listed several other uncomfortable physical complaints and the not sexy comment seemed like an afterthought. Not sure why so many are focused on just that non sexy comment.
I took that comment from Kim as a response to so many other celeb moms who talk about how they feel so much sexier while pregnant & how their sex life is better while pregnant, etc.
I’m not disagreeing with the thought that Kim places a lot of emphasis on being sexy, that’s just not how I read this particular comment.
oh yeah, i get what you’re saying. tbh those celebs saying they feel sexier when pregnant are probably lying, since I don’t think i ever met a woman in rl who says that. it’s a celeb thing.
Go be fair, feeling sexy isn’t just about how you look. It’s also about actually wanting to have sex, which the pregnancy/breastfeeding hormones killed for me for almost two years. I’m not obsessed about being sexy, but I did worry about the impact my lack of sex drive had on my marriage.
Exactly, she’s not complaining about anything but how her clothes don’t fit and how uncomfortable she is, well, 6 months pregnant in a leather mini, fur coat in summer with 4 inch heals would be uncomfortable. Dumb girl.
Yep. With her money, she can be as comfortable as she wants. She really is short sighted. Glad for her honesty, but do not feel sorry for what she brings on herself.
I’m sure she is going to get judged, but I pretty much hated being pregnant both times too. I had all sorts of weird and uncomfortable complications and conditions. I didn’t gain much weight, but being very nauseous and fatigued and itchy for 9 months is not fun.
Agreed. I just don’t complain about it unless w close friends bc there are so many women out there who wish they could get pregnant.
FROGGY – THANK YOU for saying that! It’s not nice to complain when you have been given a gift so many women long for and cannot have.
Also, if she would dress like a normal woman she would be a lot more comfortable!
At least she said it’s worth it. If you’re lucky you get the best reward in the world at the end!
I can’t get on board with that. I’m sick of catering to all of the people who can’t have something or would kill for whatever. I want a million dollars. I’m not going to hate on all of the rich people because I’m not rich. It took me 4 years, an IUI and two IVFs to get pregnant with twins. I had every single second of being pregnant. Every single one. You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to do that again. My feelings shouldn’t be dismissed because someone else can’t get pregnant.
Don’t agree. Many women have legitimate physical issues during pregnancy, many of which require accommodations at work, extra help from your partner, etc. I don’t know how else to wake people up to that reality other than encouraging women to be honest and open and ask for help/support.
I was a high-risk, pregnant TV news reporter. I gritted my teeth and worked through it until my fifth month. In heels, makeup, hair and Giorgio St Angelo maternity dress or two ( hey, it was 1983), I struggled up the state house steps, until I just couldn’t anymore. Sucked. It. Up. For. Motherhood.
Why should you be judged? It’s 2015, and you’re not expected to be in the kitchen with a gingham apron, rubbing your belly as you coo about how amazing your pregnancy is. When I think about the mechanics of pregnancy, it scares the crap out of me. So I don’t blame you at all for admitting that it wasn’t fun for you. In fact, I thank you! The more we know about the realities of pregnancy, the less we’ll see kids getting pregnant just for the hell of it (I hope).
ETA: I do totally agree with what Froggy said above, though. I know there are a lot of women who would give anything to be pregnant, and I don’t mean for my wariness of it to take away from that.
I don’t mind her complaining about being uncomfortable pregnant, one bit. That I totally get. I have seen friends go through pregnancies, some had a harder time, some had an easier time, one had a bunch of health scares, NOT funny!
What I do take offence with is that she actually describes her pregnancy as the worst time in her life. That, to me, is a case of : b**ch, please.
Worse than when your father died? Worse than your two divorces? (Okay, this is Kim Kardashian, who am I kidding, but still.) I mean, really? Perspective, darling, PERSPECTIVE!
Sauvage, that comment made me have the same reaction. Gosh, she must have had a charmed life if pregnancy – as awful as it is for her – is the worst thing ever in her life.
I’m short and curvy, too, and hated my first pregnancy also. I looked like a huge watermelon with little legs. It didn’t help that my husband was in the public eye a bit in those days, so there were lots of events to attend, all trussed up like a Christmas turkey. The rest of the time, I hid away in my trackie pants, big t shirts and flatties. Kim would never do that, because she believes (and likely with an element of validity) that if she’s not out and about, showing off her body and clothes, being written and talked about, people will forget her.
So, it was reported that her baby is now due on Christmas Day, which, on other sites, people are saying that will mean it’ll be a 10-month pregnancy… Are we placing bets yet on an early delivery – based on Kim’s preference for an early arrival – or is Kanye’s son too special to be born on any other day? Will the boy’s birth overshadow Christmas Day if, indeed, he arrives then?
Hey kk, is pregnancy Worse than when your sex tape came out all over Internet. Is pregnancy worse than when everyone was looking at you while Ray J showed your HO HO and pee on you for the world to see. KK is full of it, she needs to take a seat and stop with thinking she must be sexy at all times.
Why do I get the impression that this “union” and both the pregnancies were just more ways to make money. I think the whole thing is based on money and not love of Kanye, home life or children. Same with her sham marriage to Kris Humphries.
Pregnancy is horrible.
I remember some of the indignities–the throwing up, the possibility of hemmerhoids, the swelling, but isn’t there some hormone that makes you forget how awful it is so that people will consider doing it again? For example I remember those odd ropey underwear from the hospital but I don’t remember a diaper for a month.
I think she is referring to the super long ultra maxi pad you need to wear for 3 weeks or so. Of course, I have very heavy periods, so that is par for the course for me anyway.
Why do you have to wear this after giving birth?
I find it really annoying that one does not learn about what happens the time after the baby comes out of the mother (unless you are pregrant and hear about it in some class), like … what happens to the placenta? Do women rip in the process? How long does the recovery take? All this stuff is always left out even in sex ed at school or those TV shows or docus concerning childbirth. No one talks about the gross details. Why?!
It varies, I think, depending on the amount of tearing (if any) and how long it takes to heal. The placenta is attached to the uterus, so you basically have a wound when it’s expelled. Until that wound is healed, you’re going to have some blood.
@Zip: I don’t have kids myself but most of my female family and friends who have kids needed stitches. My oldest sis need 10 stitches with her son, my other sis 12 stitches with her daughter. I remember this so well because the pain they went through AFTER giving birth was pretty heavy (they could not sit properly for a while), not to mention that the breastfeeding took days to work out etc.
Kudos to Kim for this statement. No shade.
I thought she was talking about incontinence. I could be wrong. But I wore panty-liners for a good year because every time I sneezed or coughed or laughed to hard, I would wet myself.
Zip: there are a lot of factors. If there is a vaginal delivery, some women can rip, others are cut to avoid ripping. Others don’t rip and are not cut. I don’t know any in the last category. In both a c-section and the vage delivery, there will be afterbirth stuff that comes out that is not pretty. That usually lasts for a few days to a few weeks. Then the first period after delivery is usually really gross and messy and heavy.
The vage stitches heal faster than the C-section stitches and it is a way faster recovery. The first few days, urinating is very painful. But it is nothing compared to the pain after a C-section.
The placenta comes out at the end of labor. The woman has to push it out after the baby if the delivery is vage. If it is a C-section, they remove it.
You are right, no one talks about the gross details and that makes women feel isolated in their horrible experiences. Like no one ever told me that a woman could get vaginal varicose veins. So when I saw that, I nearly had a stroke and went to the ER because I had no idea what it was that I was looking at.
@Zip: you basically have a 4-6 week long period after giving birth as you shed the uterine lining (not to be confused with the placenta). At the hospital they give you these massive maxi pads because the bleeding is actually pretty heavy to start.
Thanks for the replys everyone!
@zip – and to add: there are degrees of tears (they don’t usually call it ripping). Not everyone does, most do. I had a second degree tear and felt vague discomfort for a week, but was otherwise right as rain (save the bleeding).
And as to diapers: I just wear Depends for the first few weeks! So much easier than trying to keep pad and panties from shifting.
Can someone get her maternity jeans a long tank and an open cardi! Maybe some flats, and a cute necklace? Poor girl might be less uncomfortable if she wasn’t encased in a bodycon dress and heels.
This! I do find it refreshing that a woman in the public eye is willing to take on the mommy mafia by saying that she does not find being pregnant charming, but at the same time, I can’t help but wonder if she would at least be more comfortable if she was dressed in more comfortable clothing.
Even yoga pants, a high end sweater and wedge heels/boots would be way more comfortable than what she has on and she could still look stylish, or whatever she is going for.
All great clothing choices, pregnant or not. But this is Kim Kardashian we’re talking about. This woman does not do comfortable, stylish, easy-going, relaxed, climate-appropriate, terrain-appropriate, loose, flowing… She only does sexy. No matter what it takes. No matter how it looks.
That’s my pregnancy uniform:-). If I dressed like her I would hate every minute of it, too.
Maybe if she wore more comfortable (i.e. looser) clothing and didn’t cram her swollen feet into strappy sandals with a 4 inch heel, she’d be more comfortable.
Not shading her for being honest about her pregnancy experience, just pointing out the obvious.
So true! But I wonder if she did slip on flats and less restrictive clothes if some posters here would call her out like they do jenn garner…or are you only allowed to be comfy when you’re pregnant?😝
There were a couple times with North she wore comfy clothes and there were all kinds of compliments given to her. You will always have someone give negative comments. And actually one time, now, she wore something comfortable and was complimented on it also.
Amen, Kimmie. I had an easier second pregnancy, and the little alien rolls are good, but everything else is absolute hell. Because your body is being changed into a human making machine and goes under significant change and stress. I don’t think my hips popped back after the second one.
Try not being pregnant despite everything that you try? Try that. Dumb b*tch.
~Infertile women
To be fair, I don’t think she should have to lie and say she loves being pregnant because there are infertile women out there. I think we should be able to be honest about how we feel. Of course, she could have worded it a little more sensitively, but it’s Kim Kardashian.
That being said, if you’re struggling with infertility, I’m really and truly sorry. I can see why her comments would sting, and I wish you hope and healing.
Thank you. I respect everyone’s right to feel what they feel & speak their mind but… Kim just…. I don’t know…
I’m sorry for what it sounds like you’re going through, but I think that’s unfair, Darkladi. I say that as an infertile woman (who, admittedly, is one of the lucky ones – I gave birth to twins after 8 long years of fertility treatment). Just because it was so hard getting pregnant with my sons, just because I know how heart-breaking it is NOT getting pregnant, doesn’t mean I’m going to always keep quiet about, for example, how difficult it was being a full-time stay-at-home mum to 2 tiny babies. Knowing the pain of infertility really doesn’t make the tiredness and sickness in pregnancy any easier to deal with. I couldn’t spend the entire time simply feeling grateful – I’m human. Why shouldn’t she tell her story? I can’t stand the woman, but it’s refreshing to hear a celeb that’s not trying to sound ‘Earth Mother’ about pregnancy. We should all be more open with this stuff. The good and the bad. The fertile and the infertile.
She’s not being pregnant at you,Jesus.
You’re right. Sorry to be so sensitive. I should think before I type. Kim’s going through a lot. Didn’t mean to be a bummer
Darkladi, you’re not a bummer. You just got hurt by something you perceived as insensitive, and it was made worse coming from a person you probably already don’t have a lot of respect for (Kim).
Muffin,
I think Darkladi’s reaction is just as okay as any other reaction, including mine.
Darladi, I am so sorry for you, but don’t feel you are a bummer.
She is the most self centered trashy woman alive! She carried on about infertility and whined 20 times a day! Caitlyn stole her thunder with her announcement of becoming a woman the same day Kim announced her pregnancy. The bottom line is no one cares this time. She wasn’t exactly a novice to pregnancy, she has a child. At least complaining gets her a little publicity. This isn’t about a pregnancy, the public is sick of her and her family and she holding on for dear life as her 15 is up. Any coverage good or bad, she’ll take! Smh!
I like this post, because it’s so true.
I believe there are women who have happy and healthy pregnancies, what I don’t believe it’s the Hollyweird thing about how magical, how amazing how beautiful pregnancy is. It can be, but there are tons of things definetly not enjoyable.
I love my children but I was not good at bring pregnant, and I had to have two C sections. All around, it just wasn’t easy for me. Worth it, but not easy, no not at all.
Diaper for 2 months? Wow that would suck. I didn’t bleed more than a week after my kids.
Seriously, Lori? Only one week? Geez you’re lucky. I had to wear those stupid 3-foot pads for 6 weeks.
Wow!, I went about a week also. But my periods normally were 3 days in length and not really heavy. Feel bad for those who had lots of bleeding afterwards.
I really think she is talking about the incontinence problem after birth. I could be wrong.
I hated being pregnant. Love my kids but pregnancy was the worse.
Oh, Kimmie. Nothing you wear ever fits anyway.
I swear she said before announcing she was pregnant that she liked being pregnant. She tells so many lies to fit her storylines or what Kayne tells her to think. She contradicts herself.
It would be a lot easier to believe the afterthought that it’s all worth it if we hadn’t seen how long Nori had the “who the heck are you?” response to Kim and all the fakeroonie “bonding” pics well into toddlerhood that the kid refused to play along with. She ignored that child while she wasn’t cute enough and then when the kid’s looks got more interesting, just used her as an occasional prop for pictures. Nori lights up when she sees Aunt Khloe or Aunt Kourtney, but is just getting used to Mama Kim. Will Kim be more interested in the Chosen One? Or will it be a replay? Will Kanye pay more attention to his Heir Apparent?
In any case, Kim’s role seems to be just an incubator. She doesn’t really deal with the day to day care of the baby except possibly briefly when breastfeeding for a minimal amount of time. Her job is done after the birth. That’s why Nori really didn’t know who she was until Nori’s memory was developed enough to keep transient mommy in her little brain. Babies and young children have trouble recognizing people unless they have frequent contact, and they bond via the ordinary routine of daily care. It’s fine to also have other caregivers, but a certain minimum amount of interaction seems to be necessary. Parents who have to be away from infants for too long due to work or other reasons have to bond all over again and until then are perceived as strangers. Kim and Kanye seem to have figured out that they need to have more time at least in the same room with the little sprout to avoid problems in public, so maybe they will do better with the Designer Baby.
She might not be so miserable if she actually dressed for being pregnant and wore comfortable shoes. She might need to take the narcissism down a notch. She doesn’t need to do pap strolls 24/7.
Honestly, i think part of the reason she’s so miserable is because of the ill-fitting clothes she wears. Like, if she forgot about being a failed fashionista for one second and just let herself live in a maxi skirt and tank top, she’d be tons more comfortable than she is in these skin tight dresses and heavy coats.
Yeah. Pregnancies are not easy but you’re doing your preggo body no favors walking around in high heels and tight leather.
I hated being pregnant both times, it felt like my body was not mine, I felt violated from the inside out, from when I found out I was pregnant to my deliveries. They were totally worth it and I love my girls but I have never been more miserable emotionally and physically, than when I was pregnant.
P.S. For once I appreciate what she is saying, it’s not always puppies, roses and rainbows…I always used to wonder if there was something wrong with me and about how I didn’t enjoy being pregnant at all.
I LOVE my children. But good grief I HATED being pregnant. I was uncomfortable, dealt with pregnancy problems (growing a human is hard work!!) and could not wait for it to end. I WISHED I was one of the gals whose bodies are so fabulous at being pregnant, but no amount of wishing (or working out!) could put me into a different, more preggo friendly body. Thankfully, Kim is right – my kids are worth every single cruddy moment.
She had to wear a diaper for two months? I don’t know what comes oozing out of her post pregnancy body but the rest of us mere mortals have to wear a sanitary pad due to the bleeding that continues, and it certainly doesn’t last two months. Pregnancy is uncomfortable and the last trimester is the hardest, at least for me. My first pregnancy gave me debilitating back spasms and I had back labor with the worst pain I’d ever felt in my life. My daughter was facing the wrong way and was putting pressure right at the sight of the epidural. Two of those did nothing until she was born and I went completely numb from the waist down. With my son I had bad edema for the second and third trimesters. Yes it’s uncomfortable, your body changes in so many ways some you wouldn’t expect, and you do not feel or look like your normal self. But you look at the big picture and realize what a blessing it is to have a life growing within you. It’s extraordinary.
Everything just always has to be about Kim. Me, myself, and I is all she’s about and can’t take it when anything else gets in the way of that.
It didn’t last two months for you. I was wearing large pads close to two months afterwards and I had a smooth and easy delivery. Every women is different and has a different post delivery experience.
What I wore was more like a small floatie rather than a sanitary pad. It was extremely long and no matter what I wore, it stuck out in the front through my clothes and the back. But my problem was incontinence from the pregnancy. So I had to wear that thing for a little while. Not sure, but I assume that is what she is talking about.
Hey, I embraced Depends for the post partum blood. For real. That was so much easier than a giant pad and shifting undies. Both my babies were NICU babies, and that was one less uncomfortable thing.
The stuff was coming out of me for about 6 weeks.
Diapers are a more comfortable option than pads.
She is not wrong.
First she pisses and moans to the world about not being able to get pregnant and now she’s complaining about being pregnant. ANYTHING for attention. Her pregnancy “attire” is atrocious.
I hated being pregnant. I was absolutely miserable and borderline Pre-E by the end of it too. I completely relate to how she felt.
I can’t say anything bad about her when it comes to this. I love my baby and am glad she’s healthy but I don’t like being pregnant at all. Safe to say, this is my first and last pregnancy. Kim looks to have a harder time being pregnant than me so no hate or judgement from my end.
There’s nothing wrong with what she’s saying but I think it’s funny her reason for hating pregnancies is she can’t look sexy in latex dresses.
1. I think it is refreshing for any woman, let alone a celebrity (whatever Kim is), to discuss the reality of pregnancy. I remember Gisele saying something like giving birth did not even hurt. I literally fell of my chair. So yes, kuddos for having this discussion.
2. But Kim is the wrong person to be starting this much needed discussion. She spent a great deal of time and money trying to get pregnant. She has a very serious medical condition that could end very badly toward the end of her pregnancy. But she chooses to open up about how she can’t fit into her clothes (maybe because she wears inappropriate clothes that are 3 sizes too small?).
3. Yes, wanting to feel sexy is important. Yes, being pregnant and feeling ugly and fat is a reality for many pregnant women. But actually hating (strong word) being pregnant should never be about vanity. She is a mother whose children will presumably learn to read one day, being this shallow about carrying one’s child and doing it so publicly is horrible.
4. I hated being preggers. I hated it because I was sick. I hated it because I had medical issues. I hated it because everything hurt. I hated it because I could not find a comfortable position ever. I hated it because I nearly died. But never once would I have used the term “hate” to describe my pregnancy because it affected how sexy I felt and what kind of clothes I could wear. Sure I thought I looked like a bus and I felt huge, but that was just being pregnant. It comes with the process.
5. When my child asks, I will tell her the truth. I hated being pregnant because I was so sick. But the hell with my looks, I have you.
I do find her vapid, shallow, self-absorbed blog entry on this offensive. I am not a hippy mom.
Feel free to attack
I was one of the lucky ones. For the most part, I loved being pregnant. I had pretty severe endometriosis with a lot of pain and heavy, two week periods for most of my life. Pregnancy for me was the only time that the pain stopped and I felt halfway normal. I’d have had so many babies if I could have! I’d have loved to have been a surrogate, but I ended up having to have a hysterectomy at 31 because of the endometriosis and adenomyosis. I know that pregnancy is horrible for a lot of women though. My poor sister-in-law was pretty much sick every day throughout her three pregnancies, and I have so much admiration for how she endured all that. Sympathies for Kim. Why should any of us attack each other? We all had different experiences and not loving pregnancy does not equal not loving your kid.
I really can’t fault Kim here. Maybe it’s something to do with being petite, but I also hated being pregnant. To my credit, though, I wore super comfy clothing and flip flops once I reached my 2nd trimester. If she changed up her wardrobe to more practical clothing, it might make the experience less sressful for her.
This happened?
Hahaha she’s allowed to feel how she wants to feel. It’s her pregnancy. No judgement.
I loved being pregnant. Especially when the you can feel the baby move, or hearing the heart beat for the first time. Magical
Now childbirth, that’s a beast of a different nature.
Can I just say how relieved I am to read all these responses and that so many felt as miserable as I did when pregnant. I honestly thought something was broken in me, that I lacked the “mom” gene or something, that I was a horrible person for not enjoying being pregnant.
Couldn’t edit to add to my comment, hence the new one.
Dear Kim,
Your pregnancy is the worst experience of my life too.
lol! And oh so true!
Lol, BTW, clothes aren’t fitting because they’re not maternity. Its all her regular tight clothes that she covets with lab coats,lol
Thank you ….you steal my idea
Of course pregnancy isn’t paradise. I got depressed when I gained weight and I am nowhere near as obsessed with being skinny and hot as Kim is. So I can I imagine how tough it is when her whole world revolves around being sexy. She is gonna be in big trouble as she gets older. She’s so self-centered. What a shallow life. Just think of all the stuff she could have bought with the money she’s spent on plastic surgery. I’m shocked she’s carried her own babies. She’s so selfish and worried about being hot.
This is just me, but it’s hard for me to hear people say they hated being pregnant. I had a really, really hard time getting pregnant. I went through 8 years of infertility; several years of trying, chlomid, IUIs, 7 rounds of IVF all paid out of pocket, several miscarriages along the way. I would have done anything, anything, to be pregnant, no matter how uncomfortable it was. There are a lot of other things that bother me profoundly (I just look at her and she gets pregnant, I wanted a summer baby, we wanted our babies to be irish twins). There is nothing wrong with any of those comments, including I hate being pregnant, it’s just so, so hard for me to relate.
I completely understand what you’re saying.
Right now I’m about 6 months pregnant and am one of those miserable pregnant women who still vomit all day, need weekly IV infusions to stay hydrated, can’t work, etc. On the other hand, my cousin (who is more like a sister) has just undergone her 3rd surgery to try and fix her fertility problems, and she still envies me.
Its hard to understand the other side sometimes. Yet, I wish Kims reasons for hating her pregnancy were a little less superficial. I think that would rile my cousin up more so than those who don’t enjoy their pregnancies because of legitimate medical complications.
Too bad. If Kanye says have a baby, you will have a baby. If Kanye says have another baby, you will have another baby. Its really a shame that you don’t feel “sexy” but you are not sexy anyway. You will obey all of Kanyes’ orders or he will kick you to the curb and you will have to start trolling for another man. Capiche?
Misread that as “he” will have to start trolling for another man. But Riccardo <3 him!
“…but you are not sexy anyway.”
THIS!
I also particularly love that she admitted to feeling insecure. The rest of us know she always has been insecure, it’s not the pregnancy. If only she would get the mental health care she so obviously needs! I’ve never watched a minute of KUWTK, but Kim getting therapy from a real professional therapist is a show I’d watch. It would be so satisfying to see the transformation from insecure submissive narcissist to actualized healthy grown up. Like that would ever happen!
I’m 23 weeks and I love it cause I can’t stop buying maternity clothes, I find I dress better during pregnancy! So many stripy tops ❤️
However this time round with a 2 year old bombing all over the place I have massive feet ache and could use more down time.
It’s 3.30pm in the afternoons and I’m in maternity pjs so from that point I have it way easier that KimK!
I avoid these threads, but here’s my post and run.
Pregnancy for some women can be a terrible experience. They’re uncomfortable, in severe pain, and can have lasting damage. And outside of physical issues the emotional imbalance or chemical equilibrium can be forever altered. Recently o met a woman that has dozens of pelvic micro fractures restricting her physical activity.
Kim might just be suffering from how uncomfortable it is, but she looks in pain. And she can’t dress for comfort because she thinks she needs to put out an image. An image that I doubt translates as intended to us. I don’t see Kim exercising any sort of free will as the years go.
And maybe this issue is too close to me, but if a woman is suffering in a pregnancy there’s no good reason anyone should be happy it’s happening. Unless they enjoy watching others suffer while creating a child.
………….what is this diaper business? Kim looks miserable pregnant and I’m sure if she could have gotten away with it she would have used a surrogate.
This brings back memories. When I was pregnant and at a birthing class the teacher wanted us to say two things we liked about being pregnant. The only two things a class of 20+ pregnant women could come up with were they liked feeling the baby move and sometimes people give up their seat on the subway. My husband and I laughed about this after as it was so true. For a lot of women the physical part of pregnancy is hard, I had nausea the entire time. I am not surprised how many people relate to it. I do understand though for people who had and are having difficulty with getting pregnant that these comments seem harsh. I had the unique position of being on both sides – getting pregnant was intense and medically helped and the pregnancy was tough. Good news was I had a caesarian, not by choice but felt like a million dollars after the baby was born since I wasn’t nauseous anymore.
I concur with Kim.
I’m just 3 months along in my pregnancy and it sucks to never feel 100%
My life is just at the mercy of my state.
Women don’t get enough credit to go through that, and I blame it on the “wonder would be mums” for whom motherhood is like a vocation!
I really think Kim is so courageous to have opted for a second pregnancy knowing she had a serious condition, that will mean having her uterus removed.
I would not have done it!
She was probably pressured by Kanye, but she should have used a surrogate!
I recommend you be very, very grateful for that, b**ch.
Her mother had six children and her sister had two by then, but no one told her anything. Do not believe you, Kim.
I’m sorry but pregnancy and child birth seem like hell. But something must make you forget about the agony because many women willingly do it again and again lol. Anyways, it’s a person’s choice to get pregnant or not. If it was so bad for her, she could have been perfectly happy with just one child. Oh wait, I forgot Kanye demanded an “heir”.
The babies really do get their clutches into you. My mother has told me she never found pregnancy very enjoyable, but…she went through it four times and she wouldn’t take any of them back.
I’m pregnant right now and even though I had terrible morning sickness and I haven’t even met the little sucker yet I’m already in love with him and kind of thinking I might be able to deal with a second one. We’ll see. But hormones are a funny thing!
Two sentences I never thought I’d utter:
1. I agree with Kim Kardashian.
2. This makes me like her a LITTLE, as I appreciate her HONESTY.
Yep. The apocalypse is nigh.
You feel gross because you are always confined in clothes that don’t fit, are too tight, and heavy coats in hot weather to camouflage the back part of you in your too-tight outfits.
And nothing fits because you are wearing the wrong clothes and the wrong sizes and teetering on heels all the time that must be so unfortable with your swelling.
Probably half of her misery would be gone if she was dressing more comfortably. I’m miserable just looking at her in all that spanx, heavy, skin-tight, confining clothes and coats and high spiky heels with the way her feet swell.
Agreed. Hard to feel any empathy for someone whose misery is brought upon herself. She can do something about some of this, and yet she won’t.
I truly get that all pregnancies are not wonderful and there are no problems. Luckily, mine were relatively easy. My daughters, not so much. But Kim adds to her discomfort by wearing clothes that are too small and shoes that are not that comfortable. She also travels whenever she wants and goes out on a daily basis. Maybe instead of all the pap walks, and the flying around and the outfits, she should just lay back, kick the shoes off, wear better fitting clothes and stay home. So, in some ways I feel sorry for her (as I would any person) and in other ways I don’t.
Perhaps if she didn’t feel all the silicone/plastic whatever other crap she has in her body shifting…
I don’t care that she dislikes being pregnant – many women don’t like it. But if she stayed home and relaxed in comfortable clothes, I’d bet she’d like it a lot more. Instead she has to be “sexy” all the time – she is such a vapid loser.
Exactly… She can afford to stay at home and be comfortable instead of tying to constantly be sexy …. who is she trying to appeal to at this point? I mean apart form your husband do you really want other men to think you are sexy when you are pregnant? that’s too twisted, for me at least
I had a miserable pregnancy. I actually feel for her on this one. Lol. I had preclamsia, bedrest. I just didn’t agree with me. It was bad enough I didn’t want to do another pregnancy. I have tons of friends that had magical unicorn pregnancies. They never understood my miserable trip.
Hate the K family and what they stand for but news flash: if you are a woman you do not have to reproduce or reproduce to have children! I am sorry for infertile mothers who really want the experience. I wish I could donate my lady parts to you to use because I am very happily childless: ) I am 42, never been pregnant due to birth control methods, and have absolutely no regrets! I get out my maternal instincts with my job/ family/ friends. As a woman I find it an excellent state of being to be childless and loving it!
Wow refreshing. Exactly! She wanted this pregnancy , she already had been through one and she still complains publicly even though there are plenty women who try and can’t conceive.
Also she is rich and can afford all sorts of help and if she doesn’t feel great she can just stay at home with some Pjs but instead she wants to parade around with uncomfortable clothes for the paps.
When I was a few decades younger, I met one woman who had four very young children. She birthed two of them, adopted the other two. She highly recommended adoption- she said the only infancy she really enjoyed was for one of her adopted kids who arrived at only a few weeks old! She was too worn out by the pregnancy to thoroughly enjoy the two home-made kids’ infancies, and her fourth child was a toddler at arrival.
Do infertile woman want children or the experience of pregnancy itself?
I think if humanity came up with a way to safely incubate children outside of the female body most would go with it. Nobody wants to be pregnant for pregnancy sake.
Well KimmYe – YOU are the worst in ALL of life. Step off.
Fartashian’s always good for a laugh. Whenever you think she can’t get any more ridiculous, she proves you wrong. -Referring to her clothing choices in these photos.
I cannot believe how obsessed some people correction girls are with Kim. My daughter has a twitter acct that I went on, I wrote one thing about her, and wow, was I attacked!!! The vile name calling, how dare I disrespect their queen!?! I think the only reason she even has an acct is too read all accolades of her, it is so sad that todays girls find her inspirational, tweet all about her,and admire her life. There was 1 girl, maybe a mom, she took it upon herself to answer back 2 all,never using foul language but waking up these girls to reality and boy did they attack her, printed her name everywhere,bullying her. Told my daughter, if I catch her even following qny of those Kards,acct canceled,wtf,all she tweets about is lip stick colors,make up,clothes,lol.How old is she?
i find it hard not to be angry with this interview. I had gone through 8 years of infertility (i.e. hell) and finally got pregnant with my daughter. I was sick every day and nearly died giving birth 9 weeks early. With that being said, I loved being pregnant (as crazy as that sounds) I was so unbelievably happy to finally be pregnant, I didn’t care what it cost me. I have a hard time being sympathetic to women who complain about being pregnant. It’s no joke, don’t get me wrong, but the pain and anguish I went through to get pregnant……I guess pregnancy was a breeze after that. That is just my opinion.
I mean… I had a very tough and awful road to motherhood as well.
That doesnt mean I loved every minute of pregnancy. The opposite was true. I didnt like being pregnant and I counted down the days until I could just have my baby here.. Nothing was ever a breeze.
A lot of women hate being pregnant. It doesn’t mean they hate being moms or hate their kids. For them, the experience of getting to the being a mom part just isn’t blissful!
Still can’t stand Kim K but I have to defend her on this one.
I don’t and can not have children but I don’t begrudge her stating that she just simply doesn’t like carrying babies.
I did not enjoy pregnancy. Sick 24/7 for 3 months, bloated and uncomfortable last 3 months. Middle 3 months were okay I guess. Recovery from C section sucked. Colicky infant. Of course it all got better and I adore my now adult daughter. So I completely appreciate Kim’s honesty. And while I can’t stand her or her fame whore family (Caitlyn now being the worst of the fame whores), I do think she gets unbelievable criticism for every inch of her pregnant body. There is just no excuse for that. No one deserves that, especially while pregnant.
I agree but she is complaining about not feeling sexy, being the worst thing while she wears leather mini,furs,high heels. She never tried being comfortable, she is posting pics daily looking “hot”, posting tutorials of lipsticks, make up, pics of her old body. How is her pregnancy worst when all we see is her attending events, blamed up and bitching.
I’m sorry to hear of your experience, hope your baby is well, but when u felt like u did,I’m sure u did not go out in 4 inch heels n wearing span.
Good points, Fee.
My “baby” is now 21 years old so I’ve definitely recovered from the pregnancy experience! 🙂
“And today in pornstar news”
Did she even mention the morning sickness that she claimed was so bad she needed the medication for it that she was shilling? The one that the FDA leaped on her for not mentioning the risks in her blatant ad disguised as a recommendation based on most likely non-existent personal experience? The morning sickness that never seemed to keep her from her daily pap walks in full makeup and tight clothing?
In any case, remember we are dealing with a pathological liar. We simply cannot know how much of what she says is true and how much is just tossed together from what she’s heard about from other women. So beware of feeling too sympathetic, Kim has a long history of lying in detail about any kind of discomfort. She lies to make her way smoother but also to try to manipulate public perception and sympathy. It certainly works- her statements resonated with many people here who really have experienced such things. But Kim’s stories shift like the wind – she keeps changing them as she gauges public reaction. I hope all goes well for her and the baby on the always difficult road to birth, but I won’t waste my sympathy on her because I honestly can’t tell how much of what she says actually applies to her.
Ha! Interesting comment don’t think I can argue against it. Also saying that she enjoys no moment at all of being pregnant and only talking about her sexiness just confirms this is about her sallowness. Let alone the whorish outfits during the whole pregnancy…. It’s not fun being pregnant but saying that you enjoy no moment of it at all especially on your second pregnancy is like wtf? I am glad she at least likes having a baby aka having 3 nannies raising her baby . I am sorry I have no empathy for her either. I feel she would say anything to get people on her side especially when she is criticized on her body image which is The ONLY thing she truly cares about.
boo hoo i can’t comment i have never had a baby
For the world, your existence is the worst.
She had placenta accreta twice, she could DIE in childbirth. She had pre-e and God knows what else. Pregnancy was awful for me too, girl. We do it for our children and I’m grateful… but it was awful. I did it 3 times, I have 2 kids to show for it. I completely understand what she is saying.
I don’t mind her being honest about hating pregnancy, it’s not kittens shitting rainbows for everyone, but what bugs me is her calling it the worst experience ever, really?!? The death of your father, the world watching you have sex on a leaked tape, the murder of a close family friend, or one of your many divorces wouldn’t fall into “the worst experience ever” category? Ok then, Keep being mad because you don’t look sexy while you grow the human you claimed on TV to want so bad, narcissistic idiot.
Well said.
I don’t sympathize with multi-millionaires who wear fur. Sorry not sorry. Let her ankles swell.
What a cakewalk her life has been if she feels this is the worst of it. #nosympathy
#tinyviolins
I have a tip from the old to the young here about the “diaper” period after giving birth. Back in the day, sanitary napkins were different than they are now. They were made by either Kotex or Modess and they did not stick to your underpants as they do today. You wore an elasticized sanitary napkin belt and attached the sanitary napkin to a “holder” at the front and the back of this belt. Thus the napkin pretty much stayed in place flush to your body, rather than sticking out in front or back.
The pads themselves had a soft, kind of gauzy “elongated tab at each end that went securely into the holders. I don’t know if they even make these anymore. But they stayed in place pretty well. If still available, some may want to try them.
Compact, short-waisted women seem to have more trouble with organ compression than do longer waisted women. Also how big the baby is makes a difference in discomfort levels.
I never knew anyone who only bled for a week afterwards. Didn’t even know that was possible! 6 weeks is pretty standard, I think. I know I was getting sore just from having a pad rubbing against me all day long – this was back in the days when they shaved you, so there was no hair for cushioning.
Also, I didn’t see anyone mention sciatic nerve pain. I had that. When the baby gets into a certain position you instantaneously get a horrible sharp, electric-like pain running from the groin area down the inside of your leg to the ankle. It is awful and you have to watch out because you could fall down because of it. I only got it in the last two weeks of my first pregnancy. I had an almost 9 lb. baby. Second one was only 7 lbs. and I didn’t get that.
And yeah, I felt fat and unsexy too.
Despite Women’s Studies & being around several babies with family members I still have a problem. If you have ever seen for example: a man on Funniest Videos get near or change a diaper and have that gag problem… This is what happens to me! 🙁
I loved being oregnant!HobestlyvI never looked soo good like when pregnant.I was still size 8,with cute small bump.My skin was glowing and amazing,my hair shiny and thick.No sickness,no swelling no back ache. I really loved it end enjoy it.I wonder if I will be pregnant again if it will be same or it will be totally different experience.
If she hated being pregnant so much and it’s the most horrible thing for her, why didn’t she just use a surrogate? She has the money and plenty of celeb women have used a surrogate without problem. She also claims she possibly mught need a hestorectomy after this pregnancy beacuse of placenta arreata. Isnt that a deadly condiotion? why would she risk her life to carry another child? And then all you complain about is being “sexy”? 😑
Being pregnant was very hard. But what was even harder is being expected to do all the same things and to be pleasant while being pregnant. No help from anyone around.
So, here I am at 38 weeks along, everything hurts and people in the office are asking “how are you? ” ( how do you think?) and “why are you still here?” (because there is not maternity leave?) and I hated everything and everyone on sight.
I think if women talked more about how NOT FUN pregnancy is, people around would be far more understanding.
