Why surrogacy?
Kim Kardashian, already the mother of 4-year-old North and 2-year-old Saint, resorted to surrogacy as the birth of her second child rose to a life-threatening condition. She had placenta accreta which prevented her from biologically conceiving a child. Kardashian had already written about the complications she faced during her first two pregnancies and the doctors strictly advised her against a third one.
