Kim Kardashian may have appendicitis while pregnant

Kim Kardashian is just weeks away from welcoming her first child with Kanye West into the world, but her pregnancy has been a bumpy ride at times.

Back in March, Kim Kardashian, 32, suffered a frightening health scare.

In a newly released preview for an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, it has been revealed that doctors believed Kim Kardashian might have appendicitis.

The reality star visited the doctor after having severe stomach pains.

Kim Kardashian is seen sat on an exam table with a thermometer under her tongue as the medic delivers the worrying news that she could have appendicitis.

“That got me anxious because of your blood count,” he says.

“This could be appendicitis.”

The doctor no doubt worried Kim Kardashian as he went on to explain the dangers that could come should they need to operate on her.

“We really don’t want to operate on a pregnant woman because it has potential complications for the pregnancy,” he said.

But the doctor added: “If we really feel strongly that this could be appendicitis, then sometimes we have to operate.”

Kim Kardashian told the camera: “Getting appendicitis while pregnant is not fun. It’s not easy, it’s going to be really tough to go through.”

The doctor is then seen examining Kim Kardashian’s burgeoning belly and asks her to “show me where you think the pain is the worst”.

When she winces in pain, the doctor asks her: “Does that hurt more?” to which she replies: “Like so much.”

At the time, after Kim Kardashian learned all was OK with her and her baby, she wrote on Twitter: “Thanks for all the well wishes, I’m doing fine! Just resting…have a good weekend. Love you guys!”

The next episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs Sunday, June 16 on E!.
