Kim Kardashian just shared a hilarious story about the day her first child, now-six-year-old North, was born. On Jonathan Cheban's podcast Foodgod: OMFG, the businesswoman appeared as a guest star and together, the two longtime pals reminisced about it.

According to Yahoo!, Kim laughed about the day and recalled of when she was preparing to give birth, “I go, ‘I need a McGriddle at McDonalds.’ I told Jonathan, ‘Do you mind driving me to get a bikini wax?’” Jonathan added his own detail, saying, “I actually had to squeeze her inside of the car and pull her out to get this wax.”

Kim noted that there were paparazzi following them at the time, explaining, “So we’re racing trying to ditch them and then at that moment I get the call saying, ‘Hey, you have preeclampsia, you have to deliver right now.’”

At the time, Kanye West was flying to Switzerland, with Kim sharing, “He decided to go to Art Basel in Switzerland, and I said, ‘Tell our security just as soon as he lands, ‘Kim’s in labor and just come straight to the hospital.’ I thought I was going to have the baby before he got there, but he made it there and everything.”

Kim then recalled the funniest bit:

“I went home and they were like, ‘You have to deliver today.’ And my nails were, like, dark. It was when I was still in my Lincoln Park After Dark phase of nails or like my Burgundy nails. And I was like, ‘Oh, no no, I’m having a girl. I really need a nice light pink nail for delivery.’ So I told the doctor, ‘Are you sure I have to deliver right now? Can you give me like two hours?’ And he was like, ‘Fine, meet me in two hours.’”

Moral of the story? Nails are important!
