Kim
Kardashian has made no secret of the fact that she hasn't enjoyed being
pregnant, but the reality star hinted in the promo for Season 11 of Keeping Up
With the Kardashians on Sunday, Oct. 11, that she could be diagnosed with
diabetes as she carries her second child.
The
34-year-old, who is expecting a son in December with husband Kanye West, 38,
suffered from potentially deadly preeclampsia when she was pregnant with
daughter North West in 2013, and on a
routine
doctor's checkup, she learned that she could be in even more trouble this time
around.
"Once
you have preeclampsia, you are at risk for having it again," Kardashian's
doctor warned her in a scene from the upcoming season of the reality show.
Then
Kardashian told her mother, Kris Jenner, and big sister, Kourtney Kardashian,
"They saw more fluid than usual in my placenta, which can mean I have
diabetes."
The
shock was clear on Jenner's face.
If
she does have the condition, Kim will need to carefully keep track of her blood
sugar levels for the remainder of her pregnancy to make sure that she and her
baby remain healthy and that the extra glucose in her blood stream doesn't
cause her baby to grow too large or force her to deliver before her due date.
The
condition could also raise her risk of preeclampsia, which causes high blood
pressure and, according to the Mayo Clinic, can threaten the lives of both
mother and baby.
