The 34-year-old reality star, who has two-year-old daughter North with husband Kanye West, said she had 'so many' complications during her first pregnancy made it difficult to conceive a second time.
And if one of the conditions, placenta accreta, returns it could mean she won't be able to have any more children.
Kim stated, “Well, they think I’ll have placenta accreta again, so if the placenta grows a little bit deeper than it did last time, then they are prepared to have my uterus removed, which is a little scary for me.” She went on to say, “I think we’re just gonna go day by day, see how overwhelming it is, and see how the delivery goes.”

The condition occurs when parts of the placenta grow too deeply into the uterine wall and it can cause severe blood loss after delivery. It can result in an early C-section delivery followed by the surgical removal of the uterus, which is called a hysterectomy.
Kim Kardashian also discussed how grueling it was spending a year trying to get pregnant. “It doesn’t seem like that to me, though. It was over a year of trying, and I had so many complications."
But Kim also noted how grateful she is that her second pregnancy has been easier than her first.
"I also feel lucky that, as of right now, I don’t feel like I’m gonna get preeclampsia again, which last time [contributed to] not only the weight, but also the swelling."
