“Right after delivery, the placenta usually then comes out. Mine did not. My placenta stayed attached inside my uterus, which is a condition called placenta accrete. This is a high-risk condition that happens when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall,” she wrote.

The wife of Kanye West continued, “I still had a piece of placenta attached inside of me and I had to have surgery to remove it. Then I had another surgery to remove the scar tissue. This was all preventing me from getting pregnant the second time around.”
