Kim Kardashian's baby's birth "was really scary" for her and Kanye West, a source tells Us Weekly

North West is headed in a new direction: Home! One week after giving birth, Kim Kardashian checked out of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, going home with baby North West, who was born last Friday, June 15, a source confirms to Us Weekly. Born five weeks premature following a "scary" medical emergency, little North remained in the hospital in order for doctors to closely monitor her health. "They needed to make sure she's breathing right and check her temperature," the source explains.
