As you are probably well aware by now, Kim Kardashian is pregnant with her second baby and she is taking serious steps to avoid any complications during this pregnancy. 

According to TMZ, the reality star has adopted an extremely strict diet before welcoming a brother or sister for North into the world. 

When carrying North, Kim developed high-blood pressure disorder called preeclampsia and she is now trying to reduce her chances of being diagnosed with this illness again. She is hoping to avoid the horrible symptoms associated with this sickness such as swelling and headaches.

Baby North was delivered five weeks early due to complications caused by preeclampsia.

A source in contact with TMZ said Kim is receiving a weekly meal plan from a nutritionist and is planning to avoid salt altogether, while topping up on water. 

Last week, Kim said her morning sickness was stopping her from enjoying Donut Day but it seems it will be protein shakes for breakfast from now on for the reality star. 

Kim received a lot of criticism about her pregnant figure in the past and felt bullied by her weight gain. An insider told Us Weekly magazine: " She doesn't want to be ripped apart again"

Kimye revealed last week that baby number two is on the way, after a previous question of whether Kim would be able to get pregnant again arose.

With Kim's pregnancy news – not to mention the rumour that it may be twins – along with the incredible unveiling of Caitlyn Jenner, we'd almost (almost) forgotten that North is about to turn two.

And considering Harper Beckham will be a very grown-up four in July, little Miss West is officially the world's most famous toddler.

The big day falls on Monday, June 15 – and, naturally, her parents are marking the occasion in envy-inducing style. 

In fact, according to reports in US Weekly, they're hiring out Disneyland's Magic Kingdom in California. 

They'll be shutting down the park too so that they can enjoy the sights and sounds of Disney in private.

It is thought Kim, 34, and Kanye, 37, were eager to make their daughter's second birthday extra special given that she'll be joined by a sibling (or siblings) sometime before Christmas. 

As for gifts, we imagine that her fashion-forward dad will be eager to present his first-born child with yet more custom-made, designer clothing for her ever-expanding wardrobe. 

Last year, North's superstar parents opted for a surprisingly low-key visit to the Children's Museum Of Manhattan on June 15 – but then threw her a lavish festival-style bash, held at Kourtney Kardashian's house, a week later. 

That party included a Ferris wheel, candy carts, teepees, and bouncy castles.

At the time, Kim explained of the celebrations: "We hung out, we went to a few museums in New York. We just had a really low-key birthday." She then added of the second event: "And this weekend we are having a birthday party for her, back in LA."

Late last year, following a lengthy house-hunting process, the family finally moved into a sprawling €18.5m home in the exclusive Hidden Hills area of Los Angeles.

On Sunday morning, Kim Kardashian revealed the news that ordinarily would have dominated headlines for days: she is pregnant with a much-longed for second child.

But then, just 36 hours later, Caitlyn Jenner unveiled her new identity on the cover of Vanity Fair – and needless-to-say, Kim's own happy news no longer took precedent.

It was a footnote to Ms Jenner incredible story, granted, but nonetheless not one that was lost on internet observers, some of whom created light-hearted memes and gifs in Kim's honour.

It has to be said though, the 34-year-old wife of Kanye West has been remarkably understanding about the timing and certainly, she has been nothing less than entirely supportive of the former Olympic gold medallist.

Still, if reports this evening from the US are to be believed, it is possible that Kim has a second explosive bombshell to unveil – something which might go some way to explain the timing of her first announcement (she surely would have known of the Vanity Fair cover in advance).

Yes, it is now being alleged that Kim is pregnant with not one but two babies – and that she will disclose the exciting news in a forthcoming episode of Keeping Up With Kardashians

It is said that the reality TV star's multiple pregnancy is the result of her IVF treatments – of which she made no secret – and that she and Kanye are over-the-moon.

The New York Daily News is citing a "well-placed source" who has explained to the publication: "Kim has told a handful of people that she had in vitro and that two eggs were fertilised.

"She is waiting to see if they both 'stick' before she makes any kind of announcement.

"She has to wait and see if they are both OK. And she is waiting to get an OK from her doctor that both the fertilised eggs are healthy."

Allegedly, only her mother, her four sisters, and Kanye are aware that two West babies may be en route.

This morning, Kim complained of being serious ill – something which may be a result of carrying more than one embryo.

North West was born on June 15, 2013, and it is believed that her sibling or siblings will arrive on a date sometime in December.

Yesterday was no doubt a busy day for Kim Kardashian, who confirmed her second pregnancy early on Monday morning.

The reality star and her husband Kanye West have been openly trying to conceive again naturally, and headed out together last night to celebrate their announcement in style. What started out as a typically glamourous night could have ended in tragedy for Kim however, as her dress apparently caught fire midway through the evening.

Forgoing maternity style, Kim walked the red carpet at last night's CFDA Fashion Awards in a sheer high necked creation by New York-based label, Proenza Schouler.

Unluckily for the 34-year-old, the feathers that decorated the shoulders of her dress were not fireproof, and apparently went up in flames after Kim got too close to a candle.

The expectant mum took to Instagram just now to thank rapper Pharrell and his wife Helen Lasichanh who spotted that Kim's gown had caught fire and "jumped" on her to put the flames out.

"Shout out to Pharrell & Helen who saved my life last night!," Kim wrote, sharing a picture of herself and Kanye alongside the quick-thinking couple.

"LOL After the awards at dinner the feathers of my dress caught on fire from a candle & they jumped on me to get it out!" Kim finished, adding the hashatag #We'reOnFire with the help of a flame emoji.

So now you know – if you're looking for a shout-out from Kim K via Instagram, all you have to do is save her life…

She announced her pregnancy on Sunday – but clearly Kim Kardashian has no intentions of covering up just because she’s expecting her second child.

The 33-year-old appeared on the red carpet last night alongside her husband of a year, Kanye West, at the CFDA Fashion Awards in Manhattan. For the occasion she wore a custom-made see-through creation by New York-based label, Proenza Schouler.

And while it is thought that the reality TV star is due on a date in December, she certainly wasn’t showing any hint of a baby bump just yet.

Styled by Jenke Ahmed Tailly, who is well-known for also styling Beyonce, Ms Kardashian evidently was delighted with the look too.

“I seriously can't thank you enough for this amazing dress!” she said on Instagram, directing her appreciation towards the designers.

However, the reaction from her fans was less enthusiastic.

“Sorry but this is awful,” one commented. “Don't like it,” another said bluntly. “Sorry. This dress is NOT amazing. Very ugly,” said a third individual. Someone else simply declared: “Normally like your style… But this is not a good look.”

Still, the CFDA Fashion Awards – which aims to honour the best and the brightest in American fashion – certainly encourages a more daring look: last year Rihanna turned up in a figure-hugging dress that exposed her breasts.

Kris Jenner has always been a protective mum, but she is definitely watching out for her second daughter Kim more than usual today.

34-year-old Kim has been the main topic of conversation in the media this afternoon, after it was revealed during last night's episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that she had overcome her fertility issues and was pregnant with her second child.

Kris headed to Instagram shortly after the episode aired to congratulate Kim and her husband Kanye West on their big news, telling the pair she couldn't wait to meet their new "little love bug."

Now though, the Kardashian momager has taken to social media again, this time to hit back at a TV presenter who mocked Kim and Kanye live on air.

In the clip from US network ABC7, which Kris has already shared via Facebook and Instagram, a newsreader can be heard taking about Kim and Kanye's "big announcement" before cutting to weather anchor Garth Kemp who quips, "All of a sudden they've got talent? Just a thought."

Not one to sit back and let anyone criticise her family, Kris named and shamed the anchor, writing, "WOW @ABC7Garth I thought you were better than this. @kimkardashian is a Producer, Business woman, clothing designer, entrepreneur, mother, and is the creator of her very own social media tsunami even you couldn't predict. 

The reality TV star also defended rapper Kanye, writing, "‪#‎kanyewest‬ among his many talents has won 21 grammys. #BULLY #USEDTOBEAFAN #DONTJUDGEOTHERS #ABC7"

Ouch.

As for Kim, we doubt she is too upset, given that the reaction to her pregnancy news has been wholly positive otherwise. As well as confirming the news via Twitter and on air during KUWTK, Kim also addressed the announcement in an interview with Glamour US, which was strategically published today.

Speaking to the magazine, Kim said that she and Kanye are "beyond excited" for their newest arrival. She admits that the experience of finding out she was pregnant was more positive than the last time, as little North was something of a surprise.

"When I found out I was pregnant [with North], I was going through an awful divorce, Kanye and I had just been dating for seven months — granted, we knew each other for a decade — and I was like, 'I can't do this. It's not the right time.' But then I figured, If I'm in my thirties and I'm not ready, I'll never be ready. So it's been the biggest lesson, and the biggest joy of my life," she revealed.

It's official: Kim Kardashian is pregnant.

The 34-year-old reality TV star and her rapper superstar husband, Kanye West, 37, already have one child, North, who will celebrate her second birthday on June 15.

This morning, and as the most recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians was airing in the US, E! took to Twitter to confirm the happy news.

A teaser for a forthcoming episode of their hugely successful reality TV show had just minutes previously shown Kim turning to her sister Khloe and declaring: "I just got the blood test back, and I am pregnant!" 

Saying that she couldn't wait to meet the "new little love bug," momager Kris Jenner also this morning took to social media to express her joy at the impending arrival of another grandchild.

Kim and Kanye's struggles to conceive a second baby have been well-documented in recent months.

Us Weekly reported just this week that she was undergoing IVF and the latest screening of KUWTK furthermore saw Ms Kardashian visit a specialist doctor to discuss frankly her fertility. 

Kim even enlisted the services of psychic John Edward, hoping he could shed light on her difficulties. 

"You can’t psychologically dwell on conception and fertility," he told her. "What you need to do is visualise walking with a child. You need to see your daughter playing with a child.

"Astrologically it’s got to be the right time for that child to come in."

And last month, the California-native shared with E! news: "We are trying. We try every single day. You can't try harder than we try.

"It's getting exhausting. He always says: 'Trying for baby No. 2 isn't as fun as trying to baby No. 1.'''

It is not yet know when the baby is due. However, it is likely that the couple, who recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary, waited until the 12-week mark before announcing it publicly.

This means that the child will arrive at some stage in December. 

Kim's elder sister, Kourtney, 36, already has three children with her long-term partner, Scott Disick: Mason, five, Penelope, two, and Reign, six months.

In an interview with Elle late last year, Mrs West joked about the weight she gained while expecting North.

"I'd think God was doing this for a reason," she laughed. "He was saying: 'Kim, you think you're so hot, but look what I can do to you.'

"My body just went crazy," she added. "After five months I swore I'd never get pregnant again. I got so huge!"

North was born five weeks early and she has also described the pregnancy in subsequent interviews as "difficult".

She died suddenly aged 58 seven-and-a-half years ago – leaving her son Kanye devastated.

And now the doctor who operated on Donda West shortly before her death says he’s determined to clear his name once and for all.

In fact, California-based plastic surgeon Dr Jan Adams has stated that he believes Kanye’s cousin, Stephan Scoggins, is responsible for her untimely passing.

He’s even calling on Donda’s hip-hop superstar son to speak out publicly in his defence.

“It baffles me when nobody wants to know the truth,” Dr Adams said. “I think [Kanye] should stand up and tell the truth, and the truth will set you free.

“I think the truth needs to be out there. If he had any balls or if he was any kind of man he could (speak up).”

Academic Donda, who is a former head of Chicago State University’s English department, had liposuction, a tummy-tuck and breast-reduction surgery in early November 2007. She died a day later.

“Most people that I run into think she died on the table, they don’t even know this lady was home for a day,” Dr Adams also said in the same interview with the New York Daily News. “The truth hasn't been revealed.”

Mr Scoggins is a registered nurse with a PhD in public health. He took charge of his aunt’s post-surgery care following the cosmetic procedures.

Dr Adams claims Mr Scoggins left Donda under the care of untrained friends while he headed out to a baby shower and that he ignored phone calls.

He goes on to say that his former patient took as many as 20 pain-killing Vicodins in less than 24 hours — and wound up choking on her own vomit because she was allow to lie flat on her back in bed.

“She aspirated the food contents into her lungs and that’s that,” stated Dr Adams. “And four minutes later you’re dead. Jimi Hendrix, that's how he died. It ain't magical."

Mr Scoggins denies the allegations.

Mrs West was pronounced dead at Centinela Freeman hospital on November 10, 2007.

A subsequent investigation was unable to determine the exact “manner of death,” but found both vomiting and “medication use for pain” as contributing factors.

Dr Adams was not faulted by the coroner, although he was criticised by some of his fellow medics who say Donda’s health issues meant she was simply not a suitable candidate for the surgery.

At 5ft 2in, she weighed 188lbs, and also battled high blood pressure and high blood sugar.

Kanye West, who was particularly close to his mother, has yet to comment.

Over the last few days, Kim Kardashian has been sharing a whole series of behind-the-scenes snaps from her wedding to Kanye West last May, in honour of the couple's one year anniversary.

From wedding dress shots to some seriously gross couple selfies, we thought we were reaching our limit of Kim and Kanye action, but this latest tweet from Mr. West himself had us reaching for the tissues.

In a sweet tribute to his wife and toddler daughter, the rapper wrote, "Kim, I’m so happy to be married to the girl of my dreams… I love you and Nori so much!!! I would find you in any lifetime."

Hold us.

Kim was obviously delighted with her husband's outpouring of emotion and replied to him shortly after to say, "Awwww baby I love you so much!!!!!! I would find you too! Anywhere!!!!!"

The star couple weren't the only ones reminiscing about their big day, though. As well as a video from Kim's mum Kris showing her son-in-law and daughter sharing their first dance, Kris' younger sister Khloé also paid tribute to the couple with a message on Instagram

Sharing this snap of the pair getting frisky on the stairs, Khloé wrote, "I've never seen either one of you filled with such ease and peace as I have since when you became husband and wife! That's when you know you have found your soul mate. When you are still in love in a chaotic world. Happy anniversary Kimye"

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West celebrated their one year wedding anniversary over the weekend, and celebrated by sharing a number of never-seen-before snaps with their fans.

Yesterday Kim posted some beautiful pictures of the lavish €10m wedding ceremony which took place last May at an estate near Florence, Italy, as well as the pre-wedding brunch hosted by fashion designer Valentino at his chateau in Versailles, near Paris.

One series of photos that we really wish the couple hadn't shared though, are the black-and-white photobooth style images taken after their wedding ceremony.

Yes, we get that they are VERY much in love, but did Kim's 34m Instagram followers really have to see this photo of Kanye biting her tongue?

Ew.

The couple have always been very open about their sex lives, and in a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim revealed to her sister Khloé that the pair had been having sex "like 500 times a day" in an effort to conceive a second child.

Thankfully the other photobooth shots are all a little more demure, showing Kim and Kanye kissing and smiling for the camera.

Happy anniversary, Mr and Mrs West! Yes, Kim and Kanye have been married for a whole year – and the reality TV star has been sharing throwback snaps of her wedding weekend online.

And while they married in an elaborate €10m ceremony at an estate near Florence, the day before – May 23 – they also attended a brunch reception hosted by Valentino at his spectacular 17th-century Château de Wideville just outside of Paris.

This morning, Kim took to Instagram to share never-released-before images of the day. She can be seen posing up with her then soon-to-be husband, Italian-born designer Valentino, and Giancarlo Giammetti – the fashion house's honorary president. 

In total, a group of 20 – mostly clad in Valentino – was in attendance. Naturally, her sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie were all present – as was her mother, Kris, and grandmother, Mary Jo.

Her stepfather, Bruce Jenner, did not go along, opting instead to stay in central Paris to rest and relax before the big day itself.

At an intimate launch for Valentino: At The Emperor's Table, a big, glossy book released last year, Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley revealed that Valentino only arranged to hold the day-time soiree when he met Kim briefly at the Met Ball in New York on May 5 – less than three weeks before the event itself took place. 

He also said that the brunch kicked-off at 1pm, but had wrapped up two-and-a-half hours later.

Mr West, 37, proposed to Ms Kardashian on her 33rd birthday in October 2013, renting out San Francisco’s AT&T Park for the occasion. It was Kanye's first wedding, though Kim has been married twice before.

Uh-oh, nobody wants an unhappy Kanye.

As if Kendall and Kylie getting booed while introducing him wasn't bad enough, the singer is not impressed by his performance at the Billboard Music Awards being completely censored. 

Anyone watching noticed he could not be heard for long periods of time during his performance of All Day and Black Skinhead, and he was also overpowered by large amounts of smoke.

Kanye's rep has now released a statement defending the star.

"Kanye West was grossly over-censored at Billboard Music Awards," they said. 

"Non-profane lyrics such as 'with my leather black jeans on' were muted for over 30-second intervals. As a result, his voice and performance were seriously misrepresented."

They concluded: "It is ridiculous that in 2015, unwarranted censorship is something that artists still have to fight against. Although West was clearly set up to face elements beyond his control during the live broadcast, he would like to apologize to the television audience who were unable to enjoy the performance the way he envisioned." 

It's okay Kanye, we forgive you.

ABC and the show producer Dick Clark Productions have not yet responded to Kanye's comments.
