Kim Kardashian was so concerned about the pregnancy complication preeclampsia that she hired a surrogate to carry her third child, Chicago West. Former reality star Kenya Moore’s fans are concerned she might be diagnosed with the disorder after her dramatic weight gain.
Moore, 47, is expecting her first child with husband, restauranteur Marc Daly.
On Wednesday, Moore shared an image of her growing baby bump on Instagram.com. In the comments of another photo, she wrote “That baby is all the way out there now. “@Kandi still have a few months to go and I weigh 200 lbs!!!”
Moore’s fans expressed concern for her, since most of her weight gain is water.
This post was edited to add this photo of Moore for comparison. The photo is dated June 30, 2017.
Doctors say women over age 35 are at highest risk for complications during pregnancy.
Pregnant women retain water, especially in the late 2nd or early 3rd trimester. Excessive weight (water) gain in the torso and arms and legs could be linked to preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia is a potentially deadly complication that occurs any time after the 20th week of pregnancy. The condition is associated with high blood pressure and weight gain.
There is no cure for preeclampsia, but doctors may induce early labor or terminate the pregnancy to save the mother’s life.
Other risk factors for preeclampsia include obesity, high blood pressure and gestational diabetes.
Signs and symptoms of preeclampsia include headache, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting, and swelling (edema), shortness of breath, lower back pain, abdominal pain, and spilling protein in the urine (proteinuria).

Weight gain where besides her belly?? Shw looks fine to me
I’m so happy for Kenya. I believe she is going to be a great Mom. Everyone deserves happiness. I pray for a healthy baby & easy delivery.
She looks good. She seems to be carrying that 200 lbs in her breast and stomach, like a normal pregnant woman. Hell, I was a beluga whale. She looks fine.
I’m so happy for her. Love and family found her late in life, but it’s so good to see her glowing in it. ?
It seems as though she been pregnant forever!
I’m happy and proud of her, I hope she shares her journey on RHOA this season, if not, I wont be watching.
I was tiny and gained 40-60 lbs with both of my daughters but had no medical conditions and was just fine. Lost the weight quickly too.
Kenya Moore looks FABULOUS and most of all HAPPY.
I’m so happy for her.
Her belly looks just like mine did, a little high, I felt totally stuffed.
her stomach is shaped oddly because of bad lipo
Then you won’t be watching cause she’s not on there and neither will I.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
She looks like the fertility goddess. Beautiful.
She’s just pregnant and it looks good on her.
I’m so glad she left that ratchet show?
Im happy for her, I hope she can give that child the love her mother was to coward to give to her.
Whats dramatic about it? She’s all belly and boobs…looks happy and healthy
Back in the day they used to just call this ‘pregnancy’.
Neil?
Kenya llooks good,happy and content. I hope everything is well with her!
WOW is Kenya really 47 she looks wonderful. Congrats on your blessing miss lady. She’s glowing!!!!
I hope all goes well. I can’t imagine the pain of having to sit at family events with my mother refused to acknowledge my existence and other family members allowed it to happen. She deserves happiness.
Some expectant mothers literally eat for two
Exactly. She needs to know what unconditional love feels like. I didn’t know how deep I could love someone until I had my babies. I’m so happy for her.
She is too damn cute! I love pregnant clean nice looking well kept women ? not those scarf pajama wearing females
It wouldn’t be Auntie if she didn’t try to throw shade. Even when the shade is invisible she steady throwing ish!
Congrats!
Welp… then I’m done. Hopefully she’ll get her own show bc im really interested to see her life as a mom and wife, without all the sabotage and hating that goes on RHOA.
I only gained 29lbs. I walked my ass off at work tho. It’s gone now but my behind is still voluptuous ???
I think her posts are often misconstrued by readers here. But when it comes to ‘throwing shade’ I think the regulars here are the pros, compared to her. Even when she’s just putting forth factual information, they rant on her for it. As if they need to be coddled and protected or something.
I did lol!
And sometimes, in twos!
Congrats! When did you have your baby? My how time flies…
Let me tell you THIS, when I was preggo I was in Wal-Mart and this old man was kinda popping up every department I went to. Well, finally he said, “ma’am you are so beautiful.” I said Thank you and turned to walk away…. He proceeded to follow me and said “tell me darling are you going to nurse that baby? That is so sexy, there is nothing sexier than a woman nursing a child” I was like eeeewwww and some what ran off…. The F%@k?
She’s beautiful.
I agree for the most part! The shade I was referring to was the statement regarding her weight gain. She doesn’t look like she’s gained anything but a baby bump. Women gain weight when they’re pregnant. That’s common knowledge.
Right! I swear her and Janet had the longest pregnancies everrrr! Keep in mind, she did announce it when she was only like 2 weeks as opposed to announcing at 3 months like everyone usually does.
I understand. But I really didn’t see a definitive statement or opinion on her weight gain from Sandra. Am I missin’ something?
She always looks good, feminine.
What wait gain? Kenya is so tall I’m sure her standard weight is about 160+ so her weighing 200 is nothing.
that clean part made me chuckle.
Exactly my thoughts! She looks nowhere near 200lbs.
Morgan Freeman shops at your Walmort?!
Kenya looks good…she is tall so 200lb aint shit on somebody over 5 ft 9…
Yes but his face moles shop at the one across town….
She looks fine to me. Just preggers. ?????
over here hollering!!!
He must’ve been a regular on the People of Walmart dot com. Probably had his own section labeled creepy old man.
So glad to see her wearing sandals. Good luck with the pregnancy, delivery and child-rearing.
She looks great, I wish her the best…
damn…the girl is pregnant….and news flash…us pregnant women…GAIN WEIGHT when we are pregnant….stop speaking such shit into existence….smdh….she is fine…damn.
yeah he would have gotten smacked….I can’t stand creepy ass men stalking pregnant women…..some men has that shit as a fetish….like want to get breast fed and shit…..girl I would have thrown something heavy at his perverted ass!!!
damn you!!!!! LMBAO!!!! I cannot!!!!! damn near spit at my damn monitor!!!
She looks good to me. I don’t know how far along she is but she doesn’t seem really puffy and swollen. She is 47. I’m sure her pregnancy will be different than that of a 20 tear old. I imagine she would gain a substantial amount of weight but she’s gonna lose it and be just fine for sure.
She looks beautiful, I hope it is a girl!
That baby is ALL Titty.
Snicker…..
He definitely had a thing for pregnant women… That means you was looking like a whole meal and a snack!!!

Wow I didn’t realize that she was 47. She looks great!
Omly weight gain i see is her belly. Y’all lying.
Agreed.
She looks good! Her feet aren’t swollen and neither is her face. I’m sure she’s being closely monitored in any event.
The first thing that came to my mind was she is having a girl.
co sign.
??….there are some serious perverts out there. They have youtube videos showing pregnant bellies and most of the comments are from men and are inappropriate. I don’t know how people get so screwed up.

She looks pretty good.
How many weeks is she?
Her hands, wrists, ankles, feet… don’t seem swollen.
Hopefully her doctor is treating her as a high-risk pregnancy based on age.
A gorgeous and healthy pregnant woman ?
Bridgette melted yuck face Nielsen just had her baby at 53 unmarried with a man half her age…all I can say to this is congrats kenya
i weighed 200 and you couldn’t even tell from the back. kenya looks good.
She just looks pregnant she will work it off after she delivers she goes to the gym on he regular she looks happy!
She doesn’t look any different. If she had preeclampsia, she would be swollen all over.
you are right she did announce the next day after her episode.
