Kardashian famously packed on 50 pounds and suffered from preeclampsia and placenta accreta during her first pregnancy with North West in 2013, and many New York moms were quick to sympathize with her bumpy ride. “It’s good to know I’m not the only one who feels like it’s really hard,” says Marisa LaScala, 34, from Greenpoint, who is expecting her first child on Oct. 21. “If Kim can think that it’s difficult, then I’m OK.” The associate editor at Working Mother magazine braced herself for the first trimester nausea she’s seen in the movies, but the last six months hit her harder than she expected. “I wasn’t prepared for the deep exhaustion. I’m out by 9 o’clock [at night],” she says. “There are constant GI (gastrointestinal) issues - that’s pretty gross. And I do feel kind of ridiculous now, because I’m so big.” Worse, for all her exhaustion, she can’t find a comfortable position to sleep in. “I wouldn’t say it was the worst experience of my life, but every physical symptom of pregnancy is negative and something that’s hard to deal with,” she says. “But I’m almost done!” Friends and family told Kristin Randazzo, 33, originally from Long Island, that she would “love every minute” of being pregnant. “By my eighth week, I thought, ‘Wow! All these people lied!” says Randazzo, who is six months pregnant with her third child. “And the last six weeks of pregnancy should be illegal. The absolute worst!” She developed gestational diabetes during this pregnancy and her last one, too, which means she must test her glucose four times a day and inject herself with insulin every night -- on top of suffering nausea, migraines and a pinched sciatic nerve. “Sitting at my appointments waiting to be seen, I think to myself, ‘Why did I do this again?’” she says. “I know all that goes away as soon as the baby is born. But those nine months are difficult.” Kardashian revealed in her frank blog post on Monday that the swelling and the backaches have also made her feel like she isn’t in her own skin anymore. “I don’t feel sexy, either - I feel insecure and most of the time I just feel gross,” says the star who once “broke the internet” by posing nude for Paper magazine. She’s not alone. A BabyCenter.com survey last year revealed that 42% of the 1,500 pregnant women they queried were struggling with mixed feelings about their bodies. They liked being pregnant, but the physical changes were uncomfortable. And one in four women admitted that her body image actually worsened once they became pregnant.

Just after the ATRL gays were dragging this woman for something they'll never have to deal with

Love how Kim is sort of a pregnancy icon these days.

So proud of Kim. I'm sure the painful experience will be worth it once she gives birth later this year.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Kim is wealthy with access to the best... everything. So if she can still find difficulty, the average women without all of her resources can too.
