Kim Kardashian’s surrogate is giving birth ‘any day now’ and she and Kanye West are on ‘high alert’ to rush to the hospital
KIM Kardashian's surrogate is set to give birth "any day now" - with the star and husband Kanye West on "high alert" to rush to the hospital.
The couple are expecting their third child via surrogate after Kim, 37, had difficult pregnancies with their first two children, daughter North, four, and son Saint, two.
While the identity of their surrogate has remained a closely guarded secret, The Sun Online can exclusively reveal that the woman is due to give birth imminently.
A source close to the couple said: "Kim's surrogate is due to give birth any day now, and so Kim and Kanye are ready to rush to the hospital.
They're hardly sleeping because they're on high alert - at any moment they might have to drop everything and rush to the hospital.
"They're both excited, but it's a tense time. They can't wait to meet their new baby."
The news comes just weeks after Kim revealed she suffered a failed pregnancy attempt before deciding to use a surrogate.
Kim tried to carry her third child herself but she "lost it" after the embryo was implanted.
Speaking during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim told sister Khloe Kardashian - who is pregnant with her first child - it was a "waiting game" to find out if the surrogate she had chosen would be able to get pregnant.
She then admitted she had tried and failed herself.
Kim said: "It’s really nerve-wracking because there’s only a 60 percent chance it [the embryo] will take...
"I mean, I tried one and I lost it. So it’s just a chance."
She also explained that it took her and Kanye a year to find the ideal surrogate to carry their third child.

She said: “Getting a surrogate and finding someone that you really trust really is so much more for difficult of a situation than you could really imagine.
“You have to like make sure that their lifestyle is healthy and they have to go through psychological testing, and it was maybe a year before we finalised our current situation.
“But I think everything happens for a reason, because the surrogate that I really loved got approved and she is such a nice person, like she’s so easy to talk to and she’s the perfect fit for us, but we have to decide quickly, are we really going to go through with this or are we gonna wait until we feel more prepared.”
