Kim Kardashian Undergoes Painful Manual Procedure To Turn Baby From Breech

Kim Kardashian has been sharing her pregnancy journey on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and that includes both the good and the bad.

“This weekend, I checked into the hospital and underwent a procedure called an external cephalic version (ECV), which is done to manually turn the baby from a breech position to a head-down position”, she wrote.

Kim’s also spoken about placenta accreta, a condition she suffered with during daughter North’s birth in 2013 which causes the placenta to remain attached to the uterus and can potentially be very unsafe. Probably more painful than childbirth.

Her son’s successful turn means Kim no longer requires a C-section when he arrives later this month.

The 35-year-old Kardashian originally feared she would have to get a C-section if the baby didn’t re-position itself naturally, though she said her doctor, Paul Crane, was willing to deliver the baby in breech if possible.

In order to receive the rest she needs to get better, Kardashian West is relying on her sister Kourtney Kardashian to help care for little North West.

The new addition is due at Christmas so time is certainly running out, especially as they’ve already ruled out naming the baby South – or any direction for that matter – but what will they agree on? The normal position for childbirth is headfirst but it sounds like Kim’s baby was feet first!

What do you think of Kim Kardashian’s reply to her hater?

“I feel really relieved that I don’t have diabetes”, the pregnant star said after talking to her doctor. during the episode, adding, “I’m trying to do everything I can to eat healthy and be healthy”.

“This whole delivery gives me anxiety, not gonna lie”, Kardashian West wrote.
