Kim Kardashian has revealed complications during pregnancy means she might have to have a hysterectomy after the birth of her second child.

In an interview with C Magazine the 34-year-old told how she suffered from the condition placenta accreta during her pregnancy with daughter North and how that made it difficult for her to conceive again.

"It was over a year of trying, and I had so many complications," the reality star said of her attempts to fall pregnant the second time.
"[In my first pregnancy] I had this condition called placenta accreta. There were a couple of little operations to fix all that, so that created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again.

"It was a long road. I would go to the doctor in Beverly Hills every day at five in the morning to get tested to see if I was ovulating.
"I was trying everything: I did acupuncture and got a nutritionist to eat healthier, thinking that was an issue."

Despite the difficulties Kardashian, who is five months pregnant, said she feels fortunate.

"I also feel lucky that, as of right now, I don't feel like I'm gonna get pre-eclampsia again, which last time [contributed to] not only the weight, but also the swelling," she said.
