Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Reportedly Expecting Baby No. 4 Via Surrogate

The Kardashian-West family is expanding! 

According to Us Weekly, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their fourth child via surrogate. Multiple sources told the magazine that the couple, who used a surrogate for their third child, 11-month-old Chicago, will welcome a baby boy "in very early May." An insider added, Kim "always wanted four kids."

Back in August, a source told Us the family of five was planning for their next child. "[They] have one last embryo left," an insider said at the time. 

As fans know, Kim opened up about her previous surrogacy journey just days after welcoming Chicago. "I have always been really honest about my struggles with pregnancy. Preeclampsia and placenta accreta are high-risk conditions, so when I wanted to have a third baby, doctors said that it wasn’t safe for my — or the baby’s — health to carry on my own,” Kim explained on her app back in January 2018. "After exploring many options, Kanye and I decided to use a gestational carrier. Although I have used the term surrogate in the past, a gestational carrier is actually the technical term for a woman who carries a baby that she has no biological relationship to. A traditional surrogate donates her egg, is artificially inseminated with the father’s sperm and then carries the baby to term. Since we implanted my fertilized egg in our gestational carrier, our baby is biologically mine and Kanye’s."

Kim also told Elle that while her home and her heart felt "full" with her three babies, she would like to have one more child in the future. "I don’t think I could handle more than [four]," she added. "My time is spread really thin. And I think it’s important that in all couples, the mom gives the husband as much attention as the kids."
