Kim Kardashian has revealed she may have gestational diabetes. The heavily pregnant 34-year-old shared the news with her family in a promo for the upcoming season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kim, who is expecting a baby boy due in December, was seen getting an ultrasound in the clip.
'Once you have preeclampsia you are at risk of having it again,' the reality star's doctor told her.
Kim battled the life-threatening condition while pregnant with daughter North, now two, and was forced to go into premature labour.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the only difficult news that the wife of Kanye West had to deal with in the preview.
She can be seen telling her worried-looking mother Kris Jenner and sister Kourtney Kardashian: 'They saw more fluid than normal in my placenta, which can mean I have diabetes.'
Gestational diabetes often occurs during pregnancy when women are in their third trimester, but usually disappears following the birth.
Pregnant women suffering from gestational diabetes will have to monitor their blood glucose (sugar) levels, while some may require medication.
