This past weekend Kanye West got to celebrate the true meaning of Father’s Day for the first time when his girlfriend Kim Kardashian gave birth to their daughter five weeks early on Saturday morning. Now new details are being released about why she had a premature delivery, as well as an update on how the new parents and baby are doing.

The Daily Mail reports the 32-year-old reality star checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center near Beverly Hills on Friday after feeling ill and experiencing contractions. Kardashian was reportedly forced to have an early delivery because she was suffering from a life-threatening condition known as preeclampsia, which affects 7 percent of pregnant women. Those with the condition develop high blood pressure and have an increased amount of protein in their urine. If left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious complications to the health of the mother and baby including organ failure, seizures and even death.

Despite going through this horrific ordeal, both Kardashian and her baby girl are doing just fine.

On Sunday, Khloe took to social media to express how happy she is for her sister tweeting, “I can not even begin 2describe the miracle that is now apart of our family. Mommy/baby are healthy &resting. We appreciate all of the love.”

According to People magazine, a close friend of Kim said the newborn is “the prettiest, tiniest thing with a full head of straight, dark hair, a cute little nose and Kim’s lips” and is “already smiling.” A hospital source also confirmed the is “doing very well,” despite spending time in an incubator to regulate her body temperature.

People also reports that Kardashian’s strong demeanor in the birthing experience has influenced her rapper boyfriend to express his commitment to her more than ever by tying the knot as soon as possible. A source told the magazine, that West “definitely wants to marry her, he hasn’t left her side.”

While Kardashian without a doubt had a challenging beginning to motherhood, her struggles are unfortunately not over yet. Radar Online reports that the new mom is having difficultly breast-feeding. “Kim is breastfeeding now but it seems like she’s having trouble,” a source close to the family told the website. “She is planning to keep trying to do it for a little while longer but she may end up switching to a bottle.”

Kardashian and West are yet to comment on their new baby.
