Kardashian recently opened up on her website about the journey to welcoming her third child, explaining that her two previous high-risk pregnancies prompted doctors to suggest she avoid carrying another child.
The makeup mogul also made sure to squash any assumptions that using a gestational carrier was “the easy way out.”
“Having a gestational carrier is definitely different, but anyone who says or thinks it’s the easy way out is completely wrong,” she wrote. “People assume it’s better because you don’t have to deal with the physical changes, pain or complications with delivery, but for me it was so hard to not carry my own child, especially after I carried North and Saint.”
She also wrote that she and baby Chicago bonded “instantly.”
“The connection with our baby came instantly and it’s as if she was with us the whole time,” the reality personality shared. “Having a gestational carrier was so special for us and she made our dreams of expanding our family come true. We are so excited to finally welcome home our baby girl.”
Kardashian concluded by expressing her gratitude.
“I’m so grateful for modern technology and that this is even possible. It’s not for everyone, but I absolutely love my gestational carrier and this was the best experience I’ve ever had,” she told fans. “Our gestational carrier gave us the greatest gift one could give.”
