The sex of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's third baby has been revealed

They are having their third child!

Published 7th Sep 2017

News broke back in July that Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West were hiring a surrogate to carry their third child together, and yesterday it was confirmed the pair were expecting a new baby!

Now TMZ have reported that Kim and Kanye will welcome another little girl into the family.

According to the entertainment site, sources have revealed 'the couple's surrogate is carrying a female bundle of joy.'

However, unlike with her previous two pregnancies, Kim has opted to use a surrogate to carry baby number three. Kim and Kanye are already parents to North, four, and Saint, one.

According to TMZ, they turned to surrogacy this time because of the medical issues Kim experienced during her previous pregnancies.

Kim was advised by a doctor about the risks of carrying another child herself because of her struggles with a medical condition called placenta accreta, which became very serious during her second pregnancy.

In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which aired last year, Kim was warned she could 'bleed to death' if she fell pregnant for a third time.

The new addition to the Kardashian-West brood is said to be due some time in January.

Congratulations to the couple! 👶
