Kim Kardashian delayed North West's birth by 2 hours so she could get 'a nice light pink' manicure for the delivery
Kim Kardashian recently opened up about how she delayed the birth of her first-born daughter, North West, by two hours so she could get a manicure!
Speaking on the latest episode of her close friend Jonathan Cheban's new podcast, 'FoodGod: OMFG', the KKW Beauty mogul recalled that although she faced quite a few health complications during the birth of the now six-year-old daughter.
Nevertheless, she had to make sure that she looked her best before the delivery. And her best friend, Jonathan, was with her every step of the way on that all-important day.
"I go, 'I need a McGriddle at McDonald's'," the reality star recalled, adding that she asked Jonathan that day, "Do you mind driving me to get a bikini wax?"
Jonathan also corroborated Kim's account of that day, saying, that he had to "squeeze her inside of the car and pull her out to get this wax" because she could hardly move. “And then afterwards, we go to get a McGriddle in McDonald’s, and we're racing so fast," he added.
And just when the pair were trying to ditch the paparazzi following them, Kim got a call from her doctor's saying, "Hey you have preeclampsia (a medical condition experienced by pregnant women, characterized by high blood pressure, swelling of feet, legs, and hands). You have to deliver right now!"
By that time, Kim had reached home and realized that she was not ready to deliver her daughter just yet.
"My nails were dark," she said. "It was when I was still in my Linkin Park after-dark phase with my Burgundy nails. And I was like, 'No, no, no, I'm having a girl like I really need a nice light pink nail for delivery'. So I told the doctor, 'Are you sure I have to deliver right now, can you give me like two hours?' And he was like, 'Fine meet me in two hours'."
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star added that she was worried she would end up delivering her child before her husband, Kanye West got to the hospital because he was in another country at the time.
“He decided to go to Art Basel in Switzerland, and I said 'tell our security, just as soon as he lands, Kim is in labor, and just come straight to the hospital'," she explained to Jonathan. "I thought I was going to have the baby before he got there, but he made it there and everything."
