Kim Kardashian changed by pregnancy
Kim Kardashian West says the mean comments she received after her first pregnancy changed her personality and are the reason why she no longer smiles in pictures. Kardashian - who is expecting her second child with husband Kanye West - admits mean comments about her weight gain while carrying daughter North, now two, took their toll and, as a result, she stopped smiling in pictures. She said: ''I couldn't help it, and everyone would say, 'She can't stop eating.' I delivered at 180, and they were like, 'She's 210 pounds. She's getting dumped because she's too fat' and all these ridiculous stories. ''It really took a toll after the fact, when I was losing weight. ''I gained 50 pounds, and it's tough to get it off. I was dedicated, but also, it changed the way I viewed wanting my picture taken. ''Before I was always smiling, and so into being out and about. After I had the baby, I was like, these are the same people that made fun of me, and posted the stories that were so awful, calling me fat for something I couldn't control. I don't want to smile for them. I don't want to be out. ''Even if I was more confident, I just didn't feel like being that girl who was going to be smiling for every photo. It changed my mood; it changed who I was; it changed my personality a lot.'' The 34-year-old beauty suffered a string of health problems during her first pregnancy, and is thankful she is having a smoother ride this time and is hopeful she won't suffer pre-eclampsia - a condition which causes dangerously high blood pressure - again. She added in an interview with C magazine: ''I feel lucky that, as of right now, I don't feel like I'm gonna get pre-eclampsia again, which last time [contributed to] not only the weight, but also the swelling.''..
