Los Angeles:
Kim Kardashian has revealed that she may have to get her uterus removed after giving birth to her second child. The 34-year-old reality TV star said doctors feel that there is a possibility of suffering from a condition called 'placenta accreta' again, after facing the same during her first pregnancy, reported Aceshowbiz.
In this condition, the placenta or part of the placenta does not completely detach from the uterus after a woman gives birth, potentially causing severe blood loss. "I had this condition called placenta accreta. There were a couple of little operations to fix all that, so that created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again. It was a long road," said Kim, who gave birth to her North West in June 2013. (Also Read: Kim Kardashian Accused of Faking Her Baby Bump in New Selfie)
"They think I'll have placenta accreta again. If the placenta grows a little bit deeper than it did last time, then they are prepared to have my uterus removed, which is a little scary for me. I think we're just gonna go day by day, see how overwhelming it is, and see how the delivery goes," she added.
