Kim Kardashian: Surrogacy is 'so much harder' than pregnancy

Kim Kardashian West knows the feeling of bringing a new life into this world through child birth. After all, she has done it twice. However, it seems that to have someone carry and give birth to your child is harder than going through labor.

The unidentified surrogate of Kardashian-West and her husband, rapper Kanye West, was reportedly seen last September with a visible baby bump and is rumored to be due in January. Additionally, Kardashian-West accidentally revealed the gender of her baby to be a girl.

The 37-year-old reality TV star told Entertainment Tonight that having a surrogate has been harder than carrying the child in one's own womb. She said, "You know, it's really different. Anyone that says or thinks it is just east way out is just completely wrong. I think it is so much harder to go through it this way, because you are not really in control."

She added that even though they picked the surrogate themselves and completely trust and have bonded with her, there is still some anxiety especially since she carried her first two children in her own womb. Her current experience with having a surrogate is testing her anxiety about having control.

She admitted that there are small and short moments where she forgets that she is going to have baby because she does not have the physical reminder of it. She also said that carrying the baby in the womb prepares the mother in all aspects and since she is not carrying the child, she sometimes freaks out and thinks that she is not prepared.

The star of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" suffered from a medical condition called preeclampsia when she had her first two children and was told by the doctors that she would be in danger if she becomes pregnant for the third time.
