According to Kim's website:
"Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West welcomed the arrival of their son this morning. Mother and son are doing well.
"Yay!!!
Ever since we heard the news of Kimmy's latest pregnancy back in May, we've been waiting for this moment. We're just so thrilled for this whole family!
Now all that's left is for Kim and Kanye to reveal the name of their bundle of joy!
And, you know, that whole push present thing. LOLz!
Seriously though, congrats to this family of four!!
In her post, Kim also shared a sweet photo.
Kim had one day earlier posted on social media a selfie showing her nine-month-old baby bump, saying, "Ready whenever you are lol. She tweeted
"The star, who was also rumored to be planning to get induced early, revealed before Thanksgiving that there was a chance she'd have to get a C-section this time around because her baby was breech, meaning his body was turned in the womb.
Fortunately, Kim was able to undergo a procedure over the Thanksgiving-holiday weekend to have the baby turned in the correct direction, head pointing down. "This weekend I checked into the hospital and underwent a procedure called an ECV (External Cephalic Version, or a Version), which is done to manually turn the baby from a breech position to a head-down position," she revealed in a Dec. 1 blog post."

They gave me an IV with medication to relax my uterus, and then three doctors attempted to work together to turn the baby," she continued. "There was a risk that my water might break or the baby's heart rate could drop—in which case, an emergency C-section would then take place. I went in with my sisters and my husband. I was prepared for it all!"
"They don't give you any pain medication, and let me tell you: This was soooooo painful," Kim wrote. "Probably more painful than childbirth. BUT it worked!!!"
That was a major relief for Kim, who still hoped to deliver the baby naturally. However, "if it's an emergency and for the safety of my son, I will get a C-section—but if I don't need one, I'd rather not," she previously explained.
