During Kim Kardashian’s first pregnancy, her sister Khloé Kardashian admits she didn’t fully grasp the challenges Kim was facing. In an episode of her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, Khloé shared that her family was unfamiliar with preeclampsia, the condition Kim was dealing with at the time. Reflecting on the situation, Khloé mentioned that their mother and sister Kourtney had relatively smooth pregnancies, so preeclampsia was new to them.
The family’s lack of understanding became evident when Kim’s symptoms, such as swollen feet and hands, were dismissed as normal pregnancy changes by those around her, including the media. Preeclampsia, as explained by the Cleveland Clinic, is a serious pregnancy-related blood pressure condition that can lead to various symptoms like headaches and swelling.
Kim later revealed the body shaming she endured during that time, sharing her struggles with preeclampsia and the impact it had on her self-image. Despite the challenges, Kim emphasized the importance of showing kindness to others and using difficult experiences as motivation for personal growth.
