Kim Kardashian Explained Why Using A Surrogate Is Hard

American reality television personality, Kim Kardashian, says the experience of using a surrogate mother to carry her third child has been 'much harder' than she expected.

The reality star who was advised not to have a third pregnancy for medical reasons, admits, while she was initially happy to escape the physical challenges of pregnancy, she has struggled with the lack of control.

She told Entertainment Tonight.

'You know, it is really different,'  'Anyone that says or thinks it is just the easy way out is just completely wrong.' 'I think it is so much harder to go through it this way, because you are not really in control,' she admitted. 'Obviously you pick someone that you completely trust and that you have a good bond and relationship with, but... knowing that I was able to carry my first two babies and not, you know, my baby now, it's hard for me. So, it's definitely a harder experience than I anticipated just in the control area.I hated being pregnant... I thought this was going to be so easy,' said the straight-talking mama-to-be.

Kim's baby is due at the start of her new year. And, she says, her oldest child North couldn't be more thrilled to have a baby sister.

'I think my son, I don't know how he is going to react because he doesn't get it yet, but my daughter is really excited,' She told Entertainment Tonight.
