Here are more photos of Kim Kardashian out and about in NYC this week. Now that we know she’s pregnant, I can really see it. Before this week, I just assumed she had been gaining some weight because of the fertility treatments, but you can already see that her body is changing. She’s apparently three months along and due in December. And Kim is telling people that just like her last pregnancy, she’s sick as a dog.
Pregnant Kim Kardashian couldn’t be more excited to be expecting again — except for the fact that she’s suffering from “really bad” all-day sickness. The E! reality star and her husband, Kanye West, made their first red carpet appearance together at the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City on Monday, June 1, since announcing they’re expecting baby No. 2, and Kardashian tells Us Weekly she hasn’t been feeling the best.
“To be honest, I’ve had really bad morning sickness, day sickness, night sickness — I can barely get out of bed,” Kris Jenner’s daughter tells Us. “It’s a very different type of pregnancy from my first one, but I’m so grateful to be pregnant when we didn’t even think it was going to happen for us [so] I don’t care how sick I am.”
North West’s mom, who presented Instagram founder Kevin Systrom with the CFDA Media Award at the fete, said feeling like “s—t” is “so worth it” because she couldn’t be more “grateful” to expand her brood.
One of the reasons many of us thought Kim would opt for surrogacy this time around was because she legitimately had a very difficult, uncomfortable pregnancy with North. I guess she and Kanye really wanted to have another baby and to do it this way. Eh, more power to them. And I do feel sorry for her considering how sick she is. It feels like she’s going to have another difficult pregnancy.
There are also significant rumors that Kim is expecting twins – the NYDN’s sources say that Kim is waiting to announce until her doctors tell her that it’s all good. Plus, she’s waiting until Caitlyn stops stealing her thunder. But a different source tells People Magazine that Kim is NOT expecting twins but this pregnancy is the result of Kim and Kanye’s second attempt at IVF.
As for this outfit… trust me, this is probably as good as her style is going to get this year. Four months from now, we’re going to look back at this dress and think, “How quaint.” You can even see that she’s wearing Spanx! Also: when Kim pulls her hair back like that, she looks like she’s trying to morph into Kris Jenner.

My eyes just cannot deal with that outfit this early in the morning. Or ever.
I know I should have sympathy for her, but I just can’t find any. The cynic in me is just noticing how she went the Kate Middleton route a la morning sickness.
It’s funny that you’d mention Kate, because that was my first thought when I saw the headline. Kim is the duchess of Hollywood in her own mind. I tried to be simply happy for her, but she will no longer play on my sympathies. As GNAT said yesterday, she toyed with our emotions and made us feel sorry for her and her fertility struggles while she was already pregnant. Now that particular sympathy card is out the window, so we have to feel sorry for her because she’s just sooooo sick. I think I feel a bit nauseous myself.
We found out she was pregnant and voila, sudden morning sickness. She wasn’t walking around looking green 3 days ago, but the DAY she announces, suddenly she’s sick. Not that she is faking, it’s just she times EVERYTHING in her life for ratings and attention. Including pregnancy announcements and morning sickness.
I feel so used. Lol
How did Kim toy with anyone’s emotions when no one believed she was struggling with fertility issues? I doubt there are very few people on here that have any goodwill or sympathy towards Kim.
I believed her, Tammy. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I did!
I’m pretty sure she’s faking this for attention – morning sickness should be improving at 3 months – by far the worst time is 6-12 weeks – and what was KK doing in this period?
– jetting to Armenia
– posing at the Met ball
– attending concerts, photo ops etc
So I’m callin BS
If I may add to that…if she truly is experiencing unrelenting morning/day sickness, she wouldn’t be gaining weight this early in the game. I was perpetually sick the first 4 months of my 2nd pregnancy. So sick I couldn’t eat and even felt sick at the sight of food. If I attempted to go out of the house I would invariably end up throwing up somewhere because of the motion it required to get around. I actually lost 11 pounds and had to be monitored weekly to determine if intravenous feeding was required to ensure the health of the baby. THAT is unrelenting pregnancy sickness, so it’s hard for me to have sympathy for her. I’m sure she’s not feeling like her jolly old self, but her whining and moaning about being sick just isn’t going to cut it with those of us who know that kind of sickness prevents one from going out on photo opp runs, flying across the globe and glamming up for posh events.
It’s different for everyone, my friend breezed through her first 3 months,so much so that she had no idea she was pregnant (she had always had irregular periods and figured it was just that) then she got really sick, presumed it was gastro and after it didn’t go away in the usual gastro time went to the doctor and found out she was pregnant. She stayed sick for the rest of the pregnancy.
There’s certainky every reason to believe that anything out of a Kardashian mouth is lies and spin but it’s not true that all morning sickness or even the worst of it, is always confined to the first trimester.
@Katydid20. My first thoughts exactly. The ‘ol HG sickness.
Assuming everyone is being honest, which I don’t really have reason to not believe, Kate didn’t have morning sickness. She had HG, which is insane. I had it with both pregnancies and I wanted to smack every single person that told me it was “just morning sickness”. It is a million times worse than normal morning sickness. Sorry…not a defender of these people, but clearly HG being referred to as morning sickness is a sore spot for me…my bad
Remind me what HG is, please.
Acronyms and abbreviations are ridiculously overused in this forum. Can people at least spell it out once before using the abbreviation! It’s annoying having to constantly guess and look up all sorts of conditions and chat speak.
I’m with you. I had terrible sickness with each pregnancy. It lasted all day and ended at different points depending on the pregnancy but much longer than 3 months. It was horrible.
By all means, Kim, stay in bed.
My friend was at an event where she was the guest of honor yesterday. I wish I could figure it how to upload the pic here. She sausaged herself into that hideous, dusty rose latex dress. And I’ve realized just how air brushed her arms are in pics now. Very interesting.
That latex dress was ridiculous, cant possibly be safe.
And this is why I don’t think she has the morning sickness she talks about. Tight clothes only make it worse. I have no sympathy for her and I find it really irritating that most couples who want IVF have to try for at least two years before going that route and she tries less than a year in which her and Kanye are rarely in the same city together.
Don’t forget the spanx under those tight clothes! Clearly her vanity is more important than giving her child the room it needs to grow healthily. As someone who struggled with infertility for nearly a decade and ultimately had no other choice but to use a surrogate since numerous attempts at every conceivable option failed I have no sympathy for her “struggle”… especially since my child was conceived a few weeks after her. Now I’m off to the airport to fly to the U.S. for a check up with my surrogate since that wasn’t a legal option in my country. But please Kim continue to talk about how the struggle is real. (Sorry for the rant, clearly it’s a sensitive subject and her using it as a storyline ticks me off).
Wishing you well, Lore. xxx
oh, I wish you could too! I would love to see what she REALLY looks like. unfortunately, i don’t know how to do it either
Thanks Lahdidahbaby xo.
This is why I have a hard time feeling sorry for her. She is running and around, taking selfies, tweeting, doing pap strolls, all while wearing the most ridiculously uncomfortable outfits.
And yet she claims to be sick a dog. No sympathy here.
A Kardashian…stay in bed?? I think if you removed Kim’s legs she’d still find a way to get her pap strolls in. Her morning sickness must be really bad if she can wander around in tight dresses, spanx and high heels. *Insert eyerolls here*
jonathan cheban would push her around in a wheelchair, getting whatever she needed. lol
It does appear she is carrying twins….in her ass.
Today’s LOL award
LOL.
I would think she’d feel great when really pregnant. The belly would balance out the fake butt, and finally allow her spine to be straight again.
She “legitimately” had a hard first pregnancy? Because she traveled all over the world wearing skin-tight outifts? Or because she griped about gaining weight? Or was sullen that people mocked her insistence on stuffing herself into regular clothes and trying to be sexy while clearly swollen? Or was it having no legit job and all the resources for all of the help she could possibly imagine?
This word, legitimate. I do not think it means who you think it means.
She’s a spoiled princess who had a normal pregnancy but lost it because she couldn’t play the vamp and have everyone ogle her body the entire pregnancy (though she did try hard on the latter).
Exactly. Maybe had she stayed home and rested when she needed to and didn’t jump on a plane and stuff her size 12 body into a size 4 every five minutes her pregnancy would have been easier. I feel she caused a lot of her problems.
I know Kim is hated here and I’m no fan.
But she looked very uncomfortable her first pregnancy. She got huge and was incredibly swollen. She also always just looked incredibly miserable
She’s not someone who carries well, being pregnant is obviously very hard on her body. I didn’t have a good pregnancy experience either, never doing it again
There’s a difference between not carrying well (e.g., getting larger than you had hoped to and experiencing swelling), and actually having a hard pregnancy. I vomited for 8 months all three times, so I have little sympathy for someone like Kim who complains because she gained too much weight in her pea-head brain. My cousin spent the last 3 months of her pregnancy in bed. Kim experienced completely normal, minor discomfort and was pissed that she got big. The way she lived her life it was obvious that the pregnancy didn’t effect her much at all. She had the choice to slow down and enjoy herself, but she chose the usual street-walking and h**ker-wear her entire pregnancy. Kim can cry me a river and get her priorities straight.
I remember her jetting here and there and of course putting the blame on Kris Humphries for making her pregnancy soooo hard because he wanted an annulment. So nope I don’t feel sorry for her nor do I believe a word she says ever. I don’t know if I even believe she is carrying the child that will be presented as hers. That is how hard it is to believe a word she utters.
exactly, she tried for the hot pregnant woman look and failed miserably.no wonder she didn’t want to get pregnant again. sorry, not buying the I want to get pregnant so bad b.s.
EXACTLY THIS, you woulda Thought Old Testament God Struck her with Leprosy when In Reality she was just looking Squoze into everything by her own doing, so let’s not conflate “Oh I wanna wear my fictional size two all my pregnancy and Be “sexy” and Jet set ” with an actual medically precarious, HG filled Complications Ladden pregnancy
It was reported she was actually sick, preeclamsia which attributed to North being born 6 weeks early. She’d also rushed into at least 2 emergency visits during her pregnancy. Evey one here is entitled to their opinion. And lord knows she isn’t someone who has not earned the ire of the lot of us. However, I find it incredibly crazy that presumed intelligent people are so readily able to say what she is and is not suffering from, and what her pregnancy was like for HER. Pregnancy in itself is a very personal and unique experience each time it happens. Who TF are you all to say what she’s feeling been through physically? And what’s actual bs?
I mean, you may not view her job as “legit” but she has a job and she does it well or else these people wouldn’t keep relying on her to promote their products. A total famewhore and attention seeker, sure. However, I think ppl need to caution themselves on other ppl
s health experiences. This is like ppl saying Julianna rancic is so obsessed with being skinny she’s starving herself, when in fact, it’s a side effect to one of the meds she’s on for her health ailments.
I don’t believe a single “report” because it defies common sense to so do. This isn’t a women who was hiding and private. I do not believe for a minute that the child was born 6 weeks early (sorry, but babies born 6 weeks early do NOT look as large and healthy as the child did), and absolutely nothing that woman did was consistent with suffering from preeclamsia (flying with preeclamsia is a no-no). Normally, I agree that we can never know what is going on with someone. But when someone is a known liar, and it is well-known and documented that they will used their lies for their tv show, yeah, I’m very skeptical that a word coming from their camp is anywhere near the truth. That they get so many people to buy their constant lies is what really defies logic.
So true Josephine. When my blood pressure started going up I was told to stay off my feet as much as possible and was not even allowed to go watch my softball team play games. Women who have pre-eclampsia are typically either put on bed rest or at the very least told to stay off their feet. Gestation time is not the only thing that helps classify a baby as premature. There are other things such as lung development that are considered.
I had pre-eclampsia and spent 7 weeks on bed rest monitoring my fluid input and output.
Not to say that she didn’t have issues but she did not follow any of the standard treatments of resting/raising feet – it’s not recommeded to fly or squeeze into tiny clothes, shoes and spanx
I hope Kim will dress better this time rather than risking hurting the baby and herself in the name of fashion with layers of spanx and those awful plastic shoes – however having seen her recent outfits such as the pink latex dress I guess she’s not going to dress for pregnancy
Chica- G Rancic has a long history of eating disorders. No reputable doctor would keep her on a drug that made her lose weight as she has. There are other options. The usual side effect is weight gain, not weight loss. G is full of it and just spinning a tale to deflect from the real problem – she is not eating enough, and the result is alarming. She could die from what she is doing to her body. Cancer is the lesser risk at this point.
As for Kim – she is a pathological liar. We simply cannot believe a word she says about anything. The first thing a doctor would tell her for a true problem pregnancy is to stay home and rest, stop jetting around the world, and stop deliberately making yourself uncomfortable by squeezing your feet and body into impossibly small shoes and clothes. The timing of her “emergencies” was always suspect as was the alleged “treatment”. Women with real problem pregnancies spend months in bed trying to keep the baby inside as long as possible. Kim instead was bouncing around as usual and referring to the “thing” inside her. She really showed no connection at all to the baby growing inside her and focused entirely on herself and how aggravating it was for her. It was bizarre.
Just buy a big bucket of salt to use when listening to certain people. Don’t waste your sympathy on them.
Nori wasn’t born six weeks early. Look at pics. She was most likely born right on schedule or else Kim had a C-section (planned to avoid the major weight gain in the last month). You have to remember that Kim LIES. She lies about little things, big things, and everything in the middle. If people don’t believe one story, she just concocts another one. Normal people don’t do that, but Kim does. It’s a sickness and probably goes back to the damage her mother did to her in her childhood. She tells people whatever she thinks will make them do what she wants, or let her do what she wants, or get better ratings for her show, or make her look good. She tells a lot of lies about Nori (things that are developmentally impossible or contradictory) to make herself look like a “good mother”, for instance. Other people don’t feel the need to do this either. Lying on the scale that Kim does is simply not normal, even in Hollywood. But that’s why we always ask what is the real story whenever she opens her mouth. We can’t trust her, for good reason. Wish she would get intensive therapy for this, among other things. She doesn’t seem truly happy.
Um…forgive me, because I’ve never been pregnant, but is it ok to wear spanx while pregnant?
Yes.
There are maternity spanx. Although I didn’t wear them that early on. I got them because I was in a wedding when I was 18 weeks and they helped to support the bump and stop the jiggle I would’ve had in the clingy jersey bridesmaid dress.
If fertility didn’t fail en masse when women had their ladies in waiting tightly bind them into their corsets then of course you can wear spanx when pregnant. It’s probably even less comfortable than wearing spanx normally is, but KK has clearly never prioritised comfort.
I loathe this family but the people commenting that she lied about fertility problems because she wears tights clothes or because she got pregnant are just looking for things to criticise her for. Why would anyone bother to go through IVF if they had no issues? Some peoples fertility problems aren’t as unforgiving and IVF works relatively quickly.
I could be wrong, but I think she lied about having fertility problems. Some doctors will do anything to make money or have a famous patient. For a doctor to recommend IVF when the patient got pregnant on the first try once, carried the baby successfully to term and has been trying for the second time less than a year was unheard of when I was going through all that. It was a fairly long time ago, and things may have changed, but I think Kim and Kanye just wanted what they wanted right now, and insisted on IVF before it was necessary or normal.
ETA – I should say that it may be that Kim thought she needed treatments because she wasn’t getting pregnant fast enough to suit her, so that isn’t exactly lying, but she definitely let everyone believe that her “problems” continued after she already knew she was pregnant.
@GNAT
She’s disgusting for claiming non-existent trouble conceiving but I’m thinking they went IVF route so they can gender select. I’m sure that Kanye thinks he isn’t a MAN unless he has a SON! Ugh! That poor child. If it’s a boy, it’ll be Kanye parading around with his son, claiming he’s the second coming.
I agree @Neonscream. Of ALL the things to criticize someone like her for… lol
It’s funny to me. Kate Middleton gets labeled with having surrogates/fake pregnancies and now Kim gets labelled with having fake fertility issues. SMH. Basically people are going to have their opinion or even flat out make up stuff. I just SMH and scroll on.
yeah, I don’t really buy the IVF thing. I think she said she was having problems conceiving because everyone felt sorry for Khloe when she was having problems getting pregnant. I don’t think Kim has a hard time getting pregnant. I think Kanye and she don’t spend that much time together, so that’s why it took awhile.
The reason people think her fertility problems are fake is because her first child isn’t even two years old. Most fertility doctors take a conservative approach. Even if you’ve never been pregnant at all, you’d at least have to wait a year before fertility treatment. Even at that point, they’d usually recommend a few IUIs and then IVF. The only way you’d usually go straight to IVF is if you had a fallopian tube issue, which obviously Kim doesn’t because she conceived her first child naturally. To suggest that Kim has had fertility problems is total BS and a slap in the face to all women with fertility issues. The wait to begin treatments and the process itself can take years. No doctor worth his salt would rush a woman who had her first child naturally less than two years ago into IVF. As a woman with fertility problems, the entire suggestion that she had fertility problems makes me sick. It is rubbish. If she had IVF for gender selection, that is believable. That she has fertility problems after conceiving children this close together is not. If you want a celebrity whose fertility problems seem legitimate, see Jaime King or even Mark McGrath and his wife. They had twins via IVF and no more children after that.
Oh, that makes sense, Chrissy.
@goodnamesalltaken: exactly! It seems like they have been reading people’sncomments about IVF and infertility. Suddenly, she drops the news that this is their second attempt, ha ha ha… If youhad one child and in less than a year of trying (iVf or not), chances are you dont have fertility issues…
I’m with @Neonscream on this.
I also think ppl aren’t privy to any of her health information that she doesn’t want you to have. She’s had two laparoscopic reproductive procedures bc of the problems in result of North’s birth. I mean, you see some of it happen on the show. There was trauma caused to her uterus bc of a problem with her placenta’s placement during her pregnancy with North, which cause some issues. Why is everyone acting like she didn’t have North no less than 6 weeks earlier than she should have? That typically doesn’t happen with a normal and 100% healthy pregnancy. sheesh.
And wasn’t North supposedly a shock bc allegedly Dr.s told her she’d never be able to conceive naturally? I mean, I truly believe she didn’t want to be pregnant when she was with North. She’s was still married to the ex-hubs and genuinely seemed to have a rough pregnancy in spite of all she did to make it that much rougher (the clothes, her schedule, non stop go go go…etc).
At least no one can call her lazy. Her work ethic is pretty impeccable.
What I say to anyone here who is calling her fertility issues BS, is unless you’re a doctor, and a one in the reproductive field, you’re comments are just speculations and opinion. Not fact. Even if you’ve suffered your own infertility problems. Treatment and procedures are based on a case by case basis. And often cost and other things play a factor. Those are the only facts here.
@Chica
You’re quite right that I’m just speculating, and I wouldn’t be caught dead watching the show, so I only know what I read on here. But it always puzzles me when people on a gossip site act like they are somehow privy to information the rest rest of us don’t have. I openly admit I’m speculating, and that I could be wrong, but you present your opinion as fact. You’re just speculating as well. It’s a silly argument.
As for her “work ethic” I suppose if you consider posing for paps and being paid to be seen and acting in a fake reality show “work,” she is impeccable.
@Chica: i watched the episode that she went woth kloe to verify fertility issued and the doctor said she had no problem to conceive. This was prior gettingg pregnant of North and if she had problems it means she would have been trying to get pregnant from Kanyefor at least 2 years with no success. I would buy she develped fertility issues after her first pregnancy, but she is already pregnant. So if IF she has any real fertility issues , it is very mild… mind you, she never had a miscarriage before… Wait, she will announce on another interview she had and because she is so private she kept it to herself…
Ps: people that dont have fertility issues can go through ivf to choose the sex of the baby.
In Canada drs. will look at fertility treatment if a woman has had a child, has been trying for 6 months, is over 30 and has not conceived – they consider her to experience secondary infertility. They don’t automatically jump to full IVF, but they do begin the process and proceed through the options quite quickly.
That is all. I hate that I bumped up the numbers on a Kardashian post. I consider this a Neonscream post.
I don’t know if she had IVF or not, but as someone currently going through it i find it really odd that she took a home pregnancy test and told her husband based on that result. You are meant to have a blood test to confirm because the hormones you take for IVF give a false positive read on home pregnancy tests.
Yes. But i doubt she is using maternity spanx now. The baby is only really showing in her boobs.
It probably made her morning sickness worse by putting on spanx. I was on a rocky cruise and put on spanx. I thought I was going to die from nausea.
She honestly doesn’t look like she feels well in the above picture.
Also, I think that baby is due in November at the latest.
I thought Spanx was a hard no for pregnancy because it can cause circulation problems. I’m pregnant right now and I can barely wear a bra out of the house because the pressure makes me feel sick.
I don’t know how to feel about her. On one hand I’m a high risk pregnancy to the point where I refuse baby showers until I have a live baby at home, and I don’t share how really hard being pregnant is for me with everyone so people just think I’m cranky. If she truly has pregnancy issues god bless her. You never really recover from a loss of a baby and all of my kids have been in the nicu for prematurity it’s terrifying.
Did Kim get more work done on her face? There seems to be a larger space between her upper lip and nose. Has Kayne commented on becoming a father again? He has been very quiet lately
The answer to your first question is always YES.
So sick she can’t get out of bed, yet has been doing her twice daily pap walks in full war paint? Ho, please.
The best cure for sickness is a selfie or a pap stroll.
And remember how long it takes to get the paint on. Doing that with nausea?
Well unless the baby is in that ridiculous a$$ of hers, I don’t see it. Her stomach is flat. Plus if she’s three months along why was she just waist training and talking about a diet a month ago? I’ll save my sympathy.
Yes! And if she is 3 months along she would’ve done IVF at least 4 months ago and easing she complaining then about having sex 500 times a day?!
Something is off somewhere. The show was taped months ago and she has a flat stomach with her second pregnancy? Are we sure this is for real?
As someone who had IVF if she really had it she would have started the drugs and the prepping several months ago.
I think she is FOS.
I think she is going to borrow Beyonce’s pillow.
@kcarp
You are correct at least 6 weeks of drugs and scans. If she can do all of that and travel around she is better than I was.
@ag
I know. I went away 1 night and I had to bring my shots and my meds huge pain in butt.
Maybe she has a portable v-ultrasound machine she travels around with.
I hate that she is playing infertility card. What she tried to get pregnant a year? Ya that’s frustrating but it’s not OMG I can never ever have a kid. With her money she could easily adopt or hire a surrogate. So boo hoo
Physically, I can’t tell at all that she’s pregnant.
Me either, she looks the same including her cartoonish ass. When my friend went through IVF she started gaining weight from all the meds. This is just pure BS, and as others have commented she looks well enough to do the pap stroll.
THANK YOU.
A. I don’t see a single difference in her body, so I don’t see what anyone else is seeing.
B. The timeline is all wrong for her going through IVF given what she’s been up to for the last six months.
Nuh-uh.
P.S. I hate it when people complain about being pregnant publicly when people like me are trying to get pregnant and may not ever get to be. Frustrating.
Best of luck to you – sending you best wishes for a child in your life, one way or the other. I’m fully convinced that she faked all of the fertility problems b/c they really needed a story line, and I think that’s horrific considering the folks like you who are hurting. I think she entire family is a plague.
I agree
I feel for you. It’s tough to watch someone so vapid and so far removed from reality ‘struggle’ with falling pregnant. Falling pregnant on their second attempt at IVF is not ‘struggling’ in any sense of the word and it’s like a slap to the face to the couples who are.
I am currently 37weeks pregnant and being at the pointy end all I want is a safe arrival and healthy bub. However, going through pregnancy, I understand why people complain. There are such dramatic changes in your body that take getting use to and when you do get use to it BOOM it escalates and then you have to get use to that. Luckily for me I am just suffering from acid reflux that has made me projectile vomit a few times and back ache right now. I hope that one day soon you will get to experience the ‘joys’ of pregnancy and feel free to complain the whole way through 😋
As someone with fertility issues, I certainly think any woman who has to get pregnant via IVF, on their second, or even first, attempt has struggled. It’s a very difficult process on the body and emotionally. And many women have tried to get pregnant for years before having IVF. In this case, however, I don’t believe Kim had actual fertility issues. But to say that real women with fertility problems haven’t struggled if they get pregnant quickly with IVF is insensitive. Statistically, most women will get pregnant within the first three rounds of IVF.
You forgot the “If it were me” part of your statement.
Trying to have a second pregnancy, especially to the point of turning to IVF, is a struggle, it is very real and has a medical term – secondary infertility. It is not an easy road, emotionally, physically or financially. You may be referring to your perceived lack of struggle for these two, but that isn’t coming across.
Just because you have not experienced something personally doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist for others in reality.
Truly sorry you’re having a tough time but pregnant women don’t owe you anything. They are allowed to be pregnant & simultaneously gripe about it. No one, including yourself, should have to feel guilty about your circumstances. Best of luck.
Thank you. and even if I’m not on the brink of death, why can’t I complain? It doesn’t mean I don’t deserve or want my baby! Of course I do. but why should I feel guilty to voice my complaints to my husband and family, when I suddendly feel handicapped, almost? I had my first lecture in international congress and a lecture to college kids on the same day-I got my first ever migraine (thanks to stress and pregnancy hormones), I was puking and crying, I could barely stand, but I had to go and do it, because as a freelancer, I don’t have a choice! When the community finds out I’m pregnant my job opportunities will lower for about 70%. I’m scared, and tired and puking so much I almost choked myself the other day. I’m sure many have it much worse. It doesn’t make it any less terrifying for me, so why can’t I complain. That’s like saying that my friends with steady, goverment jobs shouldn’t complain because I’m unemployed and don’t have a cousin in politics.
Have you ever complained about being broke or really hungry even though there are homeless and starving people in the world?
All sympathy to you and others who struggle with fertility but that doesn’t change the fact that for many women pregnancy is awful. My aunt got palsy during her last pregnancy and was confined to a wheelchair for three months and couldn’t move half her face. My mothers final pregnancy very nearly killed her, had it happened a few years earlier it’s almost certain it would have killed her. The struggles of women with difficult pregnancies aren’t lessened by people with different struggles.
You’re really comparing those kinds of problems with Kim complaining about a little morning sickness and gaining weight? Especially a woman like Kim could could take 9 months off without anyone blinking. Anyone who sits through hours of hair and make-up is not experiencing severe morning sickness.
No Josephine, I’m saying comparing your problems to other people’s and saying they’re not real is bullshit. There is ALWAYS someone worse off than you, doesn’t make their struggles non existent.
If I’m worried about paying my mortgage because my hours at work have been cut, the prospect of possibly losing my house IS a struggle, even though there are billions of people in the world worse off than me.
The pill makes me heinously unwell but I don’t feel I shouldn’t occasionally complain about it just because other women would love to get pregnant while I have to try very hard to make sure my ridiculously fertile body does not get pregnant.
I know what you mean, Miss Gloss. I’m sorry for your struggles and heartache. People who haven’t been through it just don’t understand. Everyone is right when they say that it’s ok for pregnant women to complain, just as it’s ok for us to complain about being hungry when there are people starving. And you know they’re right, but it doesn’t stop you from wanting to smack Kim. I had a friend who had three children who had to have a hysterectomy at 50. She didn’t want any more children, but she kept complaining to me that it was so sad to her to know that possibility was over for her. I tried to be sympathetic, but I wanted to shake her and say “you GOT what you wanted and I never will, so shut the f up.” It’s hard. I hope it works out for you. Truly.
you should have told her that, it’s really self-absorbed and insensitive of her to complain about that when I assume she knows your situation.
Good luck to you! Hope all turns out well. And I totally agree with hating people who constantly complain about being pregnant. While once in a while I understand it but it seems like Kim constantly gripes about it.
“People who haven’t been through it just don’t understand.”
It took me four and a half years to conceive. I didn’t go through IVF because my insurance didn’t cover it and I couldn’t afford it out of pocket. My infertility issues have been, not the worse, but definitely painful experience in my life. So trust me, I do understand. That being said, your hurt/pain shouldn’t blind you with contempt. Not you, per se. My doctor emphasized on that with me. It has allowed me to acknowledge that we all experience pain on different levels and one shouldn’t be judged for hurting. As much as I had wanted to become pregnant, I detested the first four months of pregnancy. Morning, day, and night sickness is no picnic. Going to the ER, multiple times, due to dehydration is painful. I found myself complaining not because I was ungrateful but because I’m human.
My comment isn’t a personal hit at Miss Gloss. It’s an overall message. A couple weeks ago(?) on the story regarding abortion there were so much animosity flying from all directions. At one point a poster said something in the lines of, ‘how can women abort while I’m unable to have children?’ I thought to myself, that woman owes you nothing. You know nothing about her and you expect her to have children all because you most likely will miss out on the experience? So wrong. I guess that’s where I was coming from and perhaps projected.
Oh, I haven’t been through IVF. That’s not what I meant. I just meant that people who have not experienced infertility don’t understand. And they don’t. I know you partially understand, because you went through it for four years. But I never had a child, and your dream came true. You experienced the frustration and the pain for years, and had a difficult pregnancy, but in the end, you had a baby in your arms. I never will. I know that sounds self pitying, and I’m really not. I have been very, very blessed in my life and I’m a happy person in general. But we all have wounds that leave us scarred, and I’m no different. I’m 58, and my friends are all having grandchildren. I thought I was at peace with everything, but this has brought it back again like it was yesterday. I know a pregnant woman doesn’t owe me anything, and I was always genuinely happy for my friends when they got pregnant. I figured that their being pregnant wasn’t keeping me from getting pregnant, you know? And I know you didn’t mean any harm to Miss Gloss, and I didn’t mean to imply that you did. I just wanted her to know that her feelings are normal, even if they’re not fair to the other person. It’s hard to listen to someone complain about having something you want more than anything else in the world, even if they’re complaints are justified. I just know how lonely she is right now.
I get it. Plus, you’ve been pretty open about some of your hardships so I knew where your comment was coming from. I just wanted to make it pretty clear that it wasn’t my intention to berate this woman who most likely just wanted to be heard in an anonymous way. Especially when I know exactly what she might be going through. At the same time, I have to be true to my feelings and it bothers me when I feel a woman is being judged by her reproductive choices. Was it the OP’s intent? Probably not.
I knew you weren’t trying to berate anyone. And your point was valid. No one should be judged for what they choose to do about reproduction, I totally agree. And I remember the conversation you are referring to. I would never, ever feel that someone didn’t have the right to make their own choice. It’s absolutely none of my business.
And I just noticed I spelled “their” “they’re.” But it’s too late to change it. I hate that. Lol
I get what you’re saying, and goodness knows I am no kk fan by any means. But, to be fair, in my experience, pregnancy does suck sometimes. I’ve never been in a position where my words were national/international news, but if I had been, I would have been screwed. I’m guessing, if you’re famous and pregnant, interviewers are going to ask about your pregnancy. You’re hormonal, your body’s doing weird things, you feel fat and tired – sure, you might complain. Now, if one of my cube-mates had been struggling with infertility, I would have made a concerted attempt to dial down the complaints. But when you’re being asked, and you answer honestly – I’m just saying, it seems like she’s damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. She’s pregnant – it’s a blessing, but sometimes it sucks. I doubt she’s going out of her way to hurt feelings (I could be wrong, and if she is, that’s sh!tty).
The constant travel! The tight stilettos!
Instruments of torture, Kim.
First she b*llshits us with fertility issues. Now with MS? I’m literally enraged. I had severe morning sickness (borderline hyperemesis) and trust me, this was the hardest thing I’ve EVER done in my life. Being sick all the time consumes you, made me severely depressed and I ended up in the hospital 2 times with an IV drip because of dehydration.
And there she is, all made up, doing appearances and squeezing into latex dresses.
“REALLY BAD all day sickness”??? ARE YOU SERIOUS!?
I can’t with this one. I’m done. And I’m probably not the only one.
I’m with you, Nananak. I did have severe HG, even while taking the full amount of Diclectin, for the first 3 months. I started feelkng sick the day after I missed my period, and within days was in the hospital. It resolved around the 3-month mark, Though I had to stay on the drug, and by 4 months I could go home from my parents. I lost 12 lbs in those months, and was a complete invalid, and yes, I needed my mum to take care of me, literally. It was the most tortuous awfulness. This is why I only have 1 child. She was definitely worth it, but I could NEVER go through that again. In the olden days I would have died from dehydration.
Anyway, if Kim really is very sick all day/night, I don’t know how she can leave whatever hotel she is in, let alone tart herself up. I wonder if she keeps a stash of barf bags in her purse.
You know that no amount of make-up could disguise the corpse like face that she would sport if she were that sick. I’m sorry you went through that and I totally understand your decision to stick with one child. Same here, my husband had to leave his job to take care of me. Kuddos to all the women who went through this!!!!
I just love to hate her. That’s all I got. Looking forward to this pregnancy so much
I hope she has a healthy pregnacy.
But I also want a break from the Kardashians. And I know with her being pregnant that’s not going to happen.
Frankly I’m surprised. I thought for sure she’d go the surrogacy route after the freak show that was her first pregnancy. She never really changed the way she dressed or carried herself, and seemed incredibly uncomfortable all the time. I’m just wondering what the contract details are at this point… Does she get more money in the divorce if there are more children? What? Because I have never believed this is a ‘real’ marriage based on love and attraction. Why is she pushing so hard for another kid
Who’s to say it’s not being carried by a surrogate?
I’m all for wearing body shapers, never want my muffins hanging out. But I don’t even let my husband know I’m wearing one, he never has to see me struggle getting into one. Why would she wear something that shows she’s wearing one?
SAME HERE. That’s what I call class. The Kardashians don’t know what that is.
Sigh. It’s going to be months and months of the Hindenberg stuffed into too tight, totally inappropriate clothing, with sausage feet jammed into various 4″ heeled shoes, and much grimacing (well, as much as can be detected through all the Botox and spackled on makeup) through stringy hair while showing us every lump and bump when getting in and out of cars. I’m kind of repulsed already.
She’s been spazzing on Twitter for attention — I guess this Caitlyn media takeover is freaking her out a little.
Am i crazy for not hating the dress? Of course on Kim it looks awful and you can even see her Spanx…but on a different body(and ass) it would be cute.
no, I like it too
It would be nice with a good bit of lining, it’s a lovely colour.
The timeline actually does make sense. I checked on it.
The previews for the second half of season showed Kim sporting the short blonde hair which happened in the beginning of March for fashion week. At the end of March, she dyed her hair back to the dark color, which still looked different from her usual hair because of how damaged her hair was. In the previews for the next episodes, Kim sports the blonde hair, and then returns to dark hair–which is the hair color she has when she makes the announcement. All the stories I’ve read put her finding out she was pregnant at the end of March which fits the hair timeline here. I’m not inclined to believe the conspiracy theories because the time line totally checks out. We’ll know soon enough because her body sure does change when she is pregnant.
That would make her less than 3 months a long though.
Yeah but she didn’t get pregnant the day she found out she found out she was pregnant. She found out at the end of the month, likely got pregnant earlier… which would be almost 3 months to the day
Why wear spanx when you’re pregnant? I still can’t believe she wore that waist trainer thingy when she knew she was pregnant. Her priorities are so messed up.
Eh, I wore a support band while pregnant. It really did make things more comfortable. There’s nothing innately wrong about Spanx while pregnant.
The IVF conspiracy theorists crack me up. She’s in her mid-thirties; doctors are more willing to be aggressive at that age, especially if you want more kids later. Secondary infertility is definitely a thing. Doubt her because she’s a liar, but unless you’re a reproductive specialist, leave your medical opinions to herself.
Oops — didn’t mean to imply you were giving medical opinions! Was too lazy to make multiple comments and got careless.
Nope, not going to leave my opinions to myself. If I smell a rat, I’m going to say I smell a rat. People who’ve gone through IVF have a lot more experience with this issue than people who haven’t, and I respect their opinions. The problem with people who’ve never had fertility problems/IVF is that they think having IVF is like having plastic surgery. It’s not. You don’t just snap your fingers and have IVF. There is a medical definition for infertility and that’s at least a year or more of unsuccessfully trying to conceive. Considering that Kim and Kanye are often not even in the same place at the same, I highly doubt it they had sex for 12 consecutive months when she was ovulating. Why is is so hard to believe that Kim is full of it on this matter but easy to dismiss the experiences of people who’ve actually had IVF that it takes at least a year to be diagnosed as infertile and that the IVF process alone can take months. Given this, the timeframe between Kim’s first and second pregnancies don’t the fit bill of her having infertility. If she had IVF to choose the sex of her baby, that’s one thing, but it’s not because she had infertility. The public is completely uneducated about IF and the belief that Kim K has struggled with IF simply feeds into it. That said, I will keep commenting when Kim and her supporters spout BS about her so-called fertility problems.
NKN when Drs are prepared to start you on IVF is dependent on many many different factors. It’s total nonsense to claim there is a need to wait a specified amount of time or that one has to try for 12 months to be declared infertile. Where do you get that idea from? It is different for everyone. Having had IVF doesn’t make a person an expert on it. They only know what THEY had to do, not what everyone else has to do.
How interesting to look at Kendall’s picture right next to Kim’s and to see how much prettier Kendall truly is. I hope Kendall finds a way to become the exact opposite of her KarTrashian sisters but something tells me PMK will not allow that to happen.
She is so tacky.
What prompts this woman to put the clothes she does onto her body? I simply marvel at her choices. Every time I think I’ve seen the worst, she takes things to a new level. I suppose it could be intentional! All part of a brilliant plan concocted by Kanyonardo da Vinci.
Theory time (Disclosure: I live in Boulder where smoky things are legal, so this might seem a bit farfetched, as I’m having a VERY relaxing day off): Either she’s pulling a Beyonce, or Kanye is aware of what people think, and has insisted she go through one more pregnancy, no matter how big she gets. However, I just don’t see it in these photos, spanx or not, so I’m thinking surrogate is still a dog in this fight. From what I know from friends having gone the IVF route, her claim of fertility problems is baffling, since her first is not even two. Obviously, we’ll know soon enough, as there is no way she fake a pregnancy as short as she is. She’d have to put on at least 20 pounds for us to buy it.
Thank you for pointing this out, Honeybee. Apparently, some people on this thread think it’s completely believable that Kim has struggled with infertility and had to resort to IVF to get pregnant, despite North’s young age and the fact that you have to have sex consecutively during ovulation for at least 12 months w/o pregnancy to be diagnosed as infertile. And that after that, infertility treatment can take months, as IVF involves a number of drugs for egg stimulation and surgery with anesthesia to retrieve the eggs. The ignorance about infertility makes it that much more clear how alone those struggling with it really are. I have struggled with primary IF and know a couple with two children who has struggled with secondary IF for years. So, yeah, I’m quite offended when people with no experience on the issue say that I need to be a doctor to have an opinion.
No you don’t have to wait that long in all cases. Stop getting your medical information from gossip pages.
Neonscream, you are being willfully ignorant, and this is the last thing I’m going to say to you: Look up the medical definition of infertility on any number of medical websites, including the MayoClinic.com. The standard medical definition of infertility is at least 6 months of trying if you’re over 35 and at least a year if you’re under 35. No doctor would rush to give a woman IVF before then, unless there was a known medical problem with her or her husband or they were doing IVF for gender selection or because the woman is part of a same-sex couple. There’s standard criteria for infertility, just like there’s standard criteria to diagnose diabetes or hypertension or any other number of medical conditions. It doesn’t randomly switch from person to person. The causes of infertility may be different but the standard time to diagnose a person as infertile doesn’t change. At this point, you sound like a troll. If you want to believe Kim Kardashian is infertile after having two pregnancies in two years or that doctors in the U.S. give IVF to women who’ve only been trying to get pregnant for a month or two, continue doing so.
Boo-hoo-hoo!! So she’s got morning sickness! Put on your big girl panties (and those bitches are BIG!) and deal with it!! You wanted to be/get pregnant and this is just one of the fun little perks that comes with it! Pregnancy is a condition, not an illness. I am sure there are millions of women who are trying to get pregnant who would LOVE to trade places with you right now, so go sit in a corner and STFU!!
Being sick/ill is not something anybody would aspire to. Also ridiculing ill people for being ill is somewhat petty. As you said: Pregnancy is a condition, not an illness. Ill people deserve some pity and no ridicule.
Morning sickness will go away with time. Take care Kim.
She wants to be revered in the U.S. like Kate Middleton so bad. How do you go from announcing to “look how sick I feel…” it’s just more of the same contrived BS from this vapid twit.
I don’t like the Kardashians because they are the wrong ideals to aspire to.
And I am sorry to hear Kim is suffering from morning sickness. I hope she gets better.
someone said you can do IVF to choose the sex of your child. If that’s true, I think she went that route, not because she was having trouble conceiving, but because she wanted to choose the sex of the child. my guess is the baby is going to be a boy. that theory makes sense to me, because she hasn’t been trying that long. And when she went to the doctor with Khloe on her taped show, the doctor said she did not have any infertility issues. I think she’s worried people will bash her for choosing the sex of her child, so she’s playing like she has fertility issues instead. must be nice, being rich and being able to do whatever you want, while normal people have to suffer through the process. and it also makes sense, because it would keep her children close in age, which is what I believe she wants
Unless it’s a girl – IVF is Kardashian-speak for gender selection. Kanye does want a son and Kim said they would keep trying until they got one. I wonder if Kanye is being told she has fertility problems so he would go along with it (hence all the nonsense Kim has been spouting for many months, quoting anonymous doctors when the one doctor they showed on camera assured her she was fine). He might not be so fine about gender selection, since it involves rejecting female embryos simply because they are female (selecting to avoid serious disease or for viability is a different matter). If he would have a problem with that, she would lie to him. She has lied so much about alleged medical problems – just a little googling about the realities of what she claims proves that. She just picks up something out of the air and makes it her own to have the effect she wants, counting on people not knowing enough to realize she’s full of it.
The advantage to Kim is that if this one is a boy, then this will be her last pregnancy. As she gets older, recovering her body after birth will get harder and harder – and it was difficult enough the first time. She’s heading toward 40.
Boy babies tend to be more physiologically sensitive than girls, so they might not have such an unusually mellow baby as Nori this time. Hope he screams his little head off at the very sight of a camera. Nori might start getting to that point herself – I saw the video of the gauntlet her parents forced her to run at an airport. It was so bad that there was a warning about flashing lights in the beginning of the video, for people who might have seizures. They didn’t even cover the poor kid with a blanket, she was even more distressed than usual once she woke up to that chaos. That was just plain irresponsible of the parents. Either protect her while you’re carrying her or let someone who is not a target for the cameras carry her via a different route. Or just leave her home. You don’t see other sensible celebs doing that to their tiny tots. Even arrogant Tom Cruise put a blanket over a distraught Suri to get her past the picture hunters.
Maybe she is claiming the bad morning sickness to explain the fact that she’s not going to gain weight because it’s a pillow baby!!
Kim Kardashian feels very sick, terrible and feels like vomiting. Know you know how we feel.
She’s done something else to her face.
Please. I have zero sympathy for this a$$hole. Her first pregnancy was soooooo hard, thus all the pap strolls, jet-setting, continued plumping of those blow-fish lips and injecting things into her cat face, squeezing and squishing her body into 4 sizes too-small clothing, trying to hang onto the “sexy”, jamming her swollen feet into ridiculous shoes, because “FASHION”, daily selfies and on and on. I have more sympathy for her shoes.
I am just hoping she chooses different shoes to parade around in this time.
Kimmode and yezzus are saying they had IVF to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Kayne wants a boy, and you can legally sex select in the U.S via sperm washing in IVF. IVF also gives the narcissistic kim continued narcissistic supply = attention! Oh the struggle. People genuinely felt sorry for Khloe when she had fertility issues so sKim wanted her share. Its all planned out and an opportunity to seek attention is never missed with this twisted woman.
