Her daughter North West, nicknamed Nori, was born in Kim’s 37th week of pregnancy on June 14 due to complications with her pregnancy, according to People Magazine.

She had been photographed before the birth with swollen ankles, which is a symptom of pre-eclampsia.

The condition is caused by a defect in the placenta, the source of the baby’s oxygen and nutrients. It occurs from any time after 20 weeks of pregnancy until a few days after delivery.
