"I chose to do this because I had an emergency C-section with Brayden and the whole experience and recovery was really hard on me physically and emotionally," she previously explained on Instagram, adding that her son with ex Tarek El Moussa weighed 8 lbs., 13 oz. at birth. "I really don't feel comfortable trying to go down that route again."
