The distraction of a newborn baby may have been the reason why Kim Kardashian forgot that driving while on your phone is now illegal.

The reality star was seen chatting on her mobile in Los Angeles, while behind the wheel of her Mercedes-Benz G63, even though under California state law it is prohibited.

But while Kim might be breaking the rules here, she will be in for a serious strip down if she goes against partner Kanye West, who has reportedly banned her from getting anymore plastic surgery.

According to Radar Online, West has told his baby mama that she is not allowed to get any cosmetic procedures after his own mother died while under the plastic surgeon's knife.

'Kim was certain that she wanted to have surgery after giving birth because she wanted a head start on losing her baby weight,' the source explains.

Kardashian was reportedly getting ready for liposuction treatment, but was forced to cancel the appointment after Kanye learnt of her plans.

'He really flipped out,' the source continued. 'Kanye told Kim in no uncertain terms that she needed to put her baby and her life first.

'He got pretty emotional because he really didn't want her going through that kind of major surgery. He's still traumatized from his mom's death.'Kanye's mother Donda passed away in 2007 at the age of 58 caused by 'multiple post-operative factors' from a liposuction and breast-reduction surgery.

'Kanye was devastated by her passing and it's made him extremely protective of those he loves,' the source explains. 'He really put his foot down and told Kim the surgery ban is a condition of being with him.'

To lose the weight, instead Kim has stuck to the Atkins Diet whereby she has gone without all carbohydrates since giving birth to her first child North.

Earlier this week she tweeted a picture of her post-pregnancy body, showing off her slimmed down curves in a white swimsuit after a reported 70lb weight loss.
