Kim Kardashian West might have to remove her uterus after she gives birth to her second child.

The 34-year-old reality TV star recently opened up about her two pregnancies to C Magazine and how she hopes her second pregnancy will be better than her first.

"I also feel lucky that as of right now, I don't feel like I'm gonna get preeclampsia again, which last time [contributed to] not only the weight, but also the swelling," she revealed before adding that the doctors might have to take out her uterus.

"They think I'll have placenta accreta again, so if the placenta grows a little bit deeper than it did last time, then they are prepared to have my uterus removed, which is a little scary for me," Kardashian said.

The "entrepreneur" also detailed how difficult it was for her to get pregnant.

"It was over a year of trying, and I had so many complications. I had this condition called placenta accreta. There were a couple of little operations to fix all that, so that created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again," Kardashian said. "It was a long road. I would go to the doctor in Beverly Hills every day at five in the morning to get tested to see if I was ovulating. I was trying everything: I did acupuncture and got a nutritionist to eat healthier, thinking that was an issue.

Aside from pregnancy complications, Kardashian talked about how pregnancy has changed her life.

"It has taught me how to prioritize. And I was forced to take a break for awhile. I never liked downtime, but I decided I enjoy it-that's when the fun ideas come about," Kardashian said. "I felt like I was, I don't want to say overexposed, but I had too many different projects. When I was brainstorming on my maternity leave, that's when one of my greatest projects, the video game, came about. And that's also when the book concept came-I was sitting there going through old photos, organizing my desktop."

Kardashian is expected to give birth to a boy in December. Kardashian and husband, Kanye West, have one daughter, North West.
