Kim Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday – four weeks ahead of her due date.
Kim Kardashian, 32, had been admitted to hospital in Beverly Hills on Friday.
The reality star had taken out a birthing suite at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center – a hospital of choice among many celebrities including Britney Spears, Victoria Beckham and Jessica Simpson.
Hours later – around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday – Kim Kardashian gave birth to her first child, a baby girl.
Her boyfriend, rapper Kanye West, and mother Kris Jenner were reportedly at her side.

TMZ cited sources that the reality star had a natural birth after having contractions late Friday evening.
Kim Kardashian had planned to have a C-section but after suffering an infection had decided to take the precaution of going to the hospital a few weeks early, according to X17Online.
Her due date was reportedly July 11 – the same day as Kate Middleton.
Both mother and baby are in good health and resting, but given the early birthday, the littlest Kardashian has been placed in an incubator.
No further details have been released and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have not given any hint at what they will name their daughter.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made headlines for being worlds apart during much of her pregnancy, but that certainly wasn’t the case on Friday night as the rapper made sure he was front and centre for the birth of his first child with the reality star.
Kanye west, 36, had been scheduled to make an appearance at a release party in Los Angeles for his new album Yeezus, which is due out on Tuesday.
But Kim Kardashian, 32, had started feeling ill Friday and, after having contractions, admitted herself to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center near Beverly Hills five weeks ahead of her scheduled due date, causing Kanye West to skip out on his own party.
Several of Kim Kardashian’s close friends, including Scott Disick and Jonathan Cheban both attended the event and sources said that there were whispers around the room that Kim had already gone into labour by the time the party started.
Kanye West stayed by Kim Kardashian’s side through the ordeal and refused to leave her side even as she went into full labour and had a natural birth
According to sources, Kanye West stayed by Kim Kardashian’s side through the ordeal and refused to leave her side even as she went into full labour and had a natural birth at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.
“Of course, Kanye was there with Kim when she went to the hospital and had the baby,” Us Weekly reported, saying that he “wouldn’t have missed the arrival of the couple’s bundle of joy for anything”.
Only days earlier the couple had been fielding rumors that Kanye West had strayed from their relationship.
Canadian model Leyla Ghobadi, 24, told Star Magazine that she and Kanye West had a fling last July that continued for several months, but reps for both Kim and Kanye vigorously deny the claims.
While Kanye West is undoubtedly happy to be celebrating his first Father’s Day, the focus on his latest album Yeezus prevented the duo from spending much time together.
