Kim Kardashian planning to have another baby despite warnings from doctor

She's made no secret of how difficult her previous two pregnancies have been. 

And now Kim Kardashian has revealed she will be having a last-ditch surgery in order to have a third child, according to the Daily Mail.

In a preview for an upcoming episode of her E! reality series, the 36-year-old announced at the dinner table that she would be undergoing surgery to repair her uterus.  

Over dinner, Kris Jenner was talking about throwing a baby shower for friend Joyce Bonelli when Kim brought the topic up. 

"Should I try to change my surgery?" she asked. "I have to go in and prepare my uterus because I decided I'm going to try to have one more baby."

"So what surgery are you having?" Khloe asked.

Kim explained: "I have to have a surgery on my uterus, to kind of repair this hole. So they need to like, clean that out, and there's like scar tissue. It'll also be a really high-risk pregnancy just I would be able to get pregnant."

Khloe seemed stunned her sister was seriously considering going through it, and asked: "So why do you want to do it again?"

In her one-on-one interview, Kim explained she didn't want to regret looking back and thinking she could have done more to give her children siblings.  

"Having more kids is definitely gonna be a struggle. I've gone through so much with really bad deliveries that the doctors don't think it's safe for me to conceive again myself.

"This surgery is really the one last thing I can try. I want my kids to have siblings, and I want to know that I did everything that I could to make this happen."

Kim suffered from preeclampsia when she was pregnant with daughter North, age three. 

The reality star's son Saint was also in the breech position during her second pregnancy, and she underwent a procedure to have him turned into the right position to avoid having a C-section.

Kim recounted the agony of the procedure when describing it on her website: "They don't give you any pain medication, and let me tell you: This was soooooo painful. Probably more painful than childbirth. BUT it worked!!!"

She wrote: "They gave me an IV with medication to relax my uterus, and then three doctors attempted to work together to turn the baby.

"There was a risk that my water might break or the baby's heart rate could drop—in which case, an emergency C-section would then take place. I went in with my sisters and my husband. I was prepared for it all!"
