14 DAY TRIAL // As per her own admission, Kim Kardashian didn’t know how to dress for her changing body during her first pregnancy, with 2-year-old daughter North, aka Nori. She won’t be making the same mistake again.
The reality star and businesswoman confirmed that she and husband Kanye West were expecting their second child on the family’s E!-produced reality series last Sunday. Her first public appearance after the announcement, at the launch of Hype Energy Drinks in Nashville, Tennessee, saw her in a latex pink dress that Kanye probably picked.
Kanye will have a say in Kim’s pregnancy fashion
While pregnant with North, Kim would often be criticized / mocked in the media for wearing clothes that were too small for her size and too tight, for wearing spanx, for wearing uncomfortable high-heeled shoes that made her swollen feet look painful, and for basically not giving herself a break even though she deserved it.
Kim turned this criticism into a narrative of bullying, lamenting that her pregnancy was already difficult enough without having the Internet pick on her on a daily basis.
She’s bound to not go through that again, as she tells in a new interview with Life & Style magazine. And her husband, who has been acting as her stylist at all major events, will help.
“I hope [he'll help],” she says. “He didn’t help me last time. He helped me right after, he was like ‘Okay, I can’t take this, I’m going to help you’.”
Seeing how Kanye took over Kim’s wardrobe shortly after they started dating and threw everything he didn’t like from there out (which was pretty much everything), and that he dresses her for all her major appearances, this isn’t really that surprising.
More attention to weight gain this time
To the same publication, Kim says the focus won’t be just on staying fashionable during this pregnancy, but also on keeping weight gain in check, which she also failed to do the first time around.
She is working with a nutritionist who is counseling her on what she should and should not eat, cravings an all. Unlike when she was carrying North, she’s not indulging in her sweet tooth daily with a donut.
At the same time, she’s not putting too much pressure on herself: she wants to be healthy and happy, and hopefully, she’ll have an easier second pregnancy.
