Who is Kim Kardashian’s surrogate for baby number four and why is she using a different one?
KIM Kardashian is set to welcome a new addition to the family when her fourth baby is born.
She's decided to opt for a surrogate but won't be using the same one she did last time. Here's everything you need to know.
Why is Kim Kardashian using a different surrogate for baby number four?
Kim Kardashian is using a different surrogate for her fourth child than the one who carried Chicago.
It is reported that her original surrogate is now pregnant with her own child.
The new surrogate, who Kim enlisted over the summer, remains anonymous.
A source told : "The surrogate is well into the pregnancy.
"She is due in May and everything looks good.
"Kim and Kanye have known for a while and are very excited.
"They had one male embryo left and are thrilled it has worked out.
"Kim always wanted four kids and having two boys and two girls feels perfect."
Why can't Kim Kardashian have a baby naturally?
Kim Kardashian decided to use a surrogate for her third child Chicago.
She previously suffered pregnancy complications including placenta accreta - a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall.
Doctors advised that it wouldn't be safe for her to get pregnant naturally again.
Kim's previous surrogate appeared in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians but her identity wasn't completely revealed.
Kim announced the birth of Chicago on January 15, 2018, with an emotional blog post in which she said she was "incredibly grateful" to her surrogate for giving her the "greatest gift."
