KIM Kardashian has revealed she has had five operations in a YEAR to 'fix the damage' caused by pregnancy.

The reality TV queen has four children with husband rapper Kanye West, two of which were through a surrogate.

Kim has opened up about her ordeal to have children and how she needed to go under the knife afterwards to fix the damage caused by having North and Saint.

Kim, 38, had a condition called pre-eclampsia, when a woman's organs can shut down, and following the birth of her first baby North, 6, her placenta didn't come out but dangerously grew inside her.

Despite managing to deliver a second child, Saint,4, she still required several surgeries.

She said: "After that, I had to have five different operations within a year and a half to fix the damage that all of that did on the inside."

When doctors refused to plant a frozen embryo inside Kim again, like she did with Saint,  Kim turned to surrogates for the birth of third and fourth children: daughter Chicago, one, and son Psalm, seven months.

Speaking in a video for her new SKIMS campaign, Kim said: "When I was pregnant with my daughter North, I had a condition called pre-eclampsia or toxemia, which is basically when the mom's organs start to shut down.

The only way to get rid of that is to deliver the baby.

"At 34 and a half weeks, I had to go into emergency labour – they induced me. North was four pounds. She was almost six weeks early."

Kim made no secret of the fact that despite the difficult pregnancy she wanted more children.

She said: "After my daughter was born, I still continued to do the process of freezing my eggs.

"I was able to get pregnant through that with my son Saint, and then I had two embryos left. I had the same condition, same awful delivery that I had with my first daughter."

She added: "I asked my doctors, 'Can I do it one more time?' And they were like, 'We won't even put an embryo in you – that would be like malpractice'."
