Kim Kardashian may have hysterectomy after she delivers her second baby, under doctor's orders

Reality TV queen Kim Kardashian has revealed doctors could remove her uterus when she delivers her second baby.While she was pregnant with daughter North, now two, she suffered from placenta accreta, in which the placenta attaches itself to the uterus with blood vessels and is not completely expelled during the birth.

Kardashian, 34, told C magazine: "They think I'll have placenta accreta again, so if the placenta grows a little bit deeper than it did last time, they are prepared to have my uterus removed, which is a little scary for me.

"I think we're just go go day by day, see how overwhelming it is, and see how the delivery goes."

On Keeping Up With the Kardashians she discussed the struggles she and husband Kanye West, 38, had conceiving again, and she told the magazine that during childbirth she had a "couple little operations" in which doctors "created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again."

She also confessed she was hurt by criticism of her weight gain during her first pregnancy, saying: "I couldn't help it, and everyone would say, 'She can't stop eating.'"

She said she went up to 12st 12lbs (81.8kg) not 15st (95.5kg), as was reported at the time, and went on: "It really took a toll after the fact, when I was losing weight.
