Why Kim Kardashian Thought She Had a Miscarriage During 1st Pregnancy

"It was all new territory to me and I was so scared," Kim explains. "And, literally, I thought I had a miscarriage, 'cause I was really heavily bleeding and in so much pain in Miami. Went in, 'cause you have to go and do like a D&C (dilation and curettage) to clean out your miscarriage."

When Kim went in to meet with her doctor "there was no heartbeat." And the doctor said to Kim, "Oh, you had a miscarriage."

She then returned on Thanksgiving morning, 2012, and there was a heartbeat!

"We ended up obviously having North, and I had a really bad pregnancy, I had preeclampsia, I delivered six weeks early, she was four pounds and I had something called placenta accreta, where the placenta grows inside your uterus," Kim explains. "It's honestly what people die from in childbirth, so you have to get the placenta out within a certain amount of time and you just can internally bleed."
