She faced huge difficulties in trying to conceive, and has a full medical team on standby in case of an emergency during labour.

So it's no surprise that Kim Kardashian is doing everything possible to avoid any further complications while giving birth.

The reality star revealed last night that her baby son, who's due in late December, is currently in breech.

As a result, Kim is likely to have to have a C-section, but she's going to some fairly extreme lengths to avoid getting one.

"I've learned that you actually can deliver a breech baby and I feel fortunate that my doctor Paul Crane is one of the few doctors that still does this," Kim said of her unorthodox birthing plan. 

"They just don't even teach it anymore. Paul was my mom's doctor and delivered me! So I know I'm in the best care."

While delivering her baby in breech is indeed on the cards, Kim is trying some oh so bizarre methods to get her little one to turn by himself before the birth, as she revealed last night on her official website.

"I have been doing everything I can to try to turn the baby. I lie practically upside down three times a day for 15 minutes.

"I play music in the right position and ice my belly in certain spots to get him to squirm out of the breech position.

"I even started acupuncture where I burn moxa [mugwort] on my pinky toe every day!"

Of course, if those don't work, Kim may be able to rely on her own mental powers, as she's revealed she's also turned to "hypnosis" to help her along.

Despite her determination to avoid a C-section, Kim says she'd never go so far as to put her new baby's health at risk.

"Obviously, if it's an emergency and for the safety of my son, I will get a C-section – but if I don't need one, I'd rather not," she explained.
