With the due date for Kim K's second child just a few weeks away, O
n Tuesday Kim took to her personal website
to discuss her concerns regarding the birth, since her baby is in the
breech position, meaning his head is up when it is supposed to be down.
Normally
the mom-to-be would need to get a cesarean section in this instance,
but the reality star noted she has been seeing a doctor who has
recommended alternatives which might allow her to still give birth
naturally.
'I
have been doing everything I can to try to turn the baby,' she gushed
on her site, before listing a myriad of interesting methods.
Kim
explained that her baby boy was supposed to have turned by 32 weeks, but
never did, which made her worry that she would have to get a c-section.
However, that wasn't necessarily the case, which the reality star explained she realized after doing her research.
'As
I lay awake late at night, researching, I've learned that you actually
can deliver a breech baby and I feel fortunate that my doctor Paul Crane
is one of the few doctors that still does this. They just don't even
teach it anymore,' she wrote.
The
soon-to-be mother-of-two noted that at 7 pounds her baby may already
'be too big,' but nonetheless she has started 'intensive chiropractic
work with Dr. Elliot Berlin.'
Kim gushed: 'He is "the" pregnancy chiropractor! I've learned so much from my few sessions with him.'
Kim
also listed the many ways she has been trying to get her baby to turn ahead of the delivery.
'I
lay practically upside down three times a day for 15 minutes, she said,
adding: 'I play music in the right position and ice my belly in certain
spots to get him to squirm out of the breech position. I even started
accupuncture where I burn moxa (mugwort) on my pinky toe every day! I am
even attempting hypnosis!'
Kim admitted it has been hard, since she usually turns to mother Kris Jenner or sister Kourtney for pregnancy and baby advice.
However, despite having nine total pregnancies between them, neither of them have gone through something like that before.
He went ahead to say:
'Obviously,
if it's an emergency and for the safety of my son, I will get a
C-section - but if I don't need one, I'd rather not.'
She
concluded by revealing that the 'whole delivery gives me anxiety'
before adding: 'I hope the baby turns and all goes well but I'm prepared
for anything!'
Meanwhile,
Kim may have to give birth early this time around again
as her doctors 'want to get the baby out early because of her medical
history.'
