It’s been a long journey for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to their third child. After Kim’s struggles through her first two pregnancies. Doctors told her that she wouldn’t be able to carry a third child safely. Every fan clearly remembers Kim’s frustration at not being able to welcome a third child. All seemed lost for a while for Kim. However, things took some pleasant turn the following year. According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West safely welcome their third child, and it’s definitely something to celebrate!

Though it’s unclear if she gave birth in Los Angeles or her home city, San Diego. The couple reportedly welcomed their third child, a baby girl via surrogate. Kim confirmed the news via her app on Tuesday.

Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl. We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care. North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister.

Kim also told her fans that their daughter was born Jan. 15 at 12:47 a.m. Pacific Time and weighed 7 pounds and 6 ounces.

My precious baby boy is so strong! After spending three nights in the hospital & seeing my baby get multiple IV’s and hooked up to oxygen machines, our end of year was challenging. Pneumonia is so scary. I just want to thank every nurse & doctor out there who works so hard around the clock. We are so grateful for you all! He’s home and all better. He’s so resilient I’m sure he will still say the ambulance ride was cool! My strong Saint 👼🏽

Others are totally convinced that Kylie Jenner gave birth to Kim’s baby. Especially after rumors of her going into labor. And that too, just days before Kim’s surrogate gave birth.

I love that @KylieJenner clearly had @KimKardashian child. Rumors Kylie went into labor a few days ago and now boom kim announcers her child was born Monday through surrogate . Buahahaha they think we are so stupid or even that we care if she did .

During an episode of KUWTK, Kim expressed her utter desire of having a larger family to her sisters. She has been vocal about expanding her family before, too.

I’d love nothing more than to expand my family and just know that I have this world at home that’s safe. And if for some reason I left this earth sooner than I really wanted to, then my kids would have a support system at home — so that I know that they would be okay if I wasn’t here.

Unfortunately, two fertility specialists told Kim that carrying a third child was not a good idea. Especially after suffering complications in her first two pregnancies.

She underwent procedures, hoping to carry a third child in April. However, that didn’t work out too well for her.

After everything I went through, the surgery and it wasn’t successful and didn’t do anything. Kanye was really nervous about the surgery … but I know he would want to have more kids. I feel like surrogacy is the only option for me.

Therefore, the couple decided to hire a surrogate to carry their third child.

Kim told Entertainment Tonight that having a surrogate was “so much harder,” but she felt “blessed” to have enjoyed such a strong bond with her surrogate. After struggling for such a long time with pregnancy complications and difficult deliveries. Kim Kardashian West finally has the large family she always wanted.

Congratulations to the family!
