Kim Kardashian West has defended her shapewear for pregnant women, saying it is not intended to slim their stomachs but to offer support for the weight of carrying the baby. The reality star announced at the weekend that she is launching a maternity line of her shaping underwear brand Skims but faced criticism online from people who thought the clothing is designed to make pregnant women look smaller.
