In the latest series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim’s battle to get pregnant has been an ongoing story casting a grey shadow over the seemingly perfect family.
In the next episode of the hit reality series, Kim, 34, is told she must undergo emergency surgery if she wants to continue trying to conceive.
As she is filmed being whisked away into the operating room, we’re told how Kim and husband Kanye West might be forced to use a surrogate in order to give daughter North, 22 months, a sibling.
Kim says: “There is nothing more on this earth that I want more than to be pregnant again and to go through that experience, I would pay any amount of money to have that.
“Surrogacy is really scary for me, I don't want one, I don't want that to be my reality.
“It's my last resort, surrogacy. As much as I hated being pregnant, and I complained every step of the way and joked that I didn't want one, I really don't want a surrogate.
“I wouldn't dare ask anyone to do this for me. It freaks me out, what if they're a lunatic, what if they run off with my baby? I can't do it, I just can't.”
She explains to sister Khloe: “It would be so annoying if I couldn't carry my own baby.”
Khloe, 30, has also suffered from fertility issues, struggling to conceive during her marriage to basket ball player Lamar Odom.
