Kim Kardashian 'new baby': Are Kimye welcoming a fourth child via surrogate?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly expecting their fourth child via surrogate.

The star couple are supposedly looking to expand their brood very soon, according to US Weekly.

A source told the publication that the baby is expected to be a boy and is “due to arrive in early May”.

The child would be the pair’s second baby via surrogate after welcoming Chicago in January last year.

Standard Online has contacted representatives of Kardashian for comment.

Kardashian, who also shares North and Saint with West, admitted she previously had a traumatic experience with a “stuck placenta” during childbirth resulting in her “almost bleeding to death.”

The 37-year-old previously revealed how her doctor had to “stick his whole arm in me” to remove the organ.

“After giving birth, your placenta is supposed to come out. But mine was stuck,” she told ELLE.

"That’s what women usually die from in childbirth – you haemorrhage and bleed to death and they can’t stop it.

"To get it out – it’s so disgusting – the doctor had to stick his whole arm in me and scrape it off. It was the most painful.”

The reports come after Kardashian told how eldest child North “acts like an only child”, despite having two younger siblings.

She told how the five-year-old often tries to stop brother Saint, two, and eight-month-old baby sister Chicago from entering her room.

Speaking to Ashley Graham on her podcast, last year, she said: “North acts like an only child at all times. I think she’s a little confused.

“She’s beyond jealousy now. She’s just like, ‘It’s my world.’
