Kim Kardashian has surrogate that's 'three months' along

Kim Kardashian, 36,  is reportedly expecting her third child with husband Kanye West, 40, via a surrogate. 

Following reports that the pair would pay $113,850 (£87,228) for a surrogacy deal, UsWeekly have alleged they have now hired a surrogate who is 'three months pregnant'.

Kim - who suffered with life threatening placenta accreta during her first two pregnancies - is said to have begun searching for a surrogate in June and was referred 'by an agency'.

The magazine's insider added the surrogate is 'in her late 20s' and are set to welcome their third child in 'January 2018'.

Kim and Kanye are already proud parents to four-year-old daughter North and 19-month-old son Saint. 

MailOnline have contacted Kim and Kanye's representatives for comment.

The report comes after TMZ claimed a surrogacy deal would cost the couple $113,850 (£87,228).

It is thought that the couple will pay the surrogate $45k in 10 monthly instalments of $4,500; The initial deposit for this, that the married couple will pay the surrogate's agency, is said to be a whopping $68,850. 

TMZ also states that, should the pregnancy produce more than one child, the surrogate will receive an additional $5k per extra child ($5k extra for twins, $10k extra for triplets and so forth).

With the surrogacy comes the conditions that the employed woman doesn't smoke, drink alcohol, take drugs and not have sexual intercourse in the weeks leading up to the pregnancy.  

This also includes refraining from sex for three weeks following embryo implantation.

The surrogate is banned from hot tubs or saunas, can't go near cat litter, won't be allowed to apply hair dye, can only have one caffeinated beverage per day or consume raw fish.

TMZ goes on to report that the agreement provides that Kim and Kanye 'assume the legal and parental responsibilities for any child... that may possess any congenital or other abnormalities or defects'.  

Kim's alleged decision to hire a surrogate comes after she was diagnosed with placenta accreta during both pregnancies.

The potentially life threatening condition occurs when the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall, which could lead to severe hemorrhaging during labour.  

During a November 2016 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim explored the possibility of carrying her third child. 

Yet she was left bereft when doctors told her that there are too many risks if she gets pregnant and that it would be life-threatening.

Kim said on the show: 'If the two doctors that I trust have told me it wouldn't be safe for me to get pregnant again, I have to listen to that.' 

Speaking in April, Kim made it clear that she wanted to have another child. 

She said on the reality show: 'I’d love nothing more than to expand my family and just know that I have this world at home that’s safe. 

'And if for some reason I left this earth sooner than I really wanted to, then my kids would have a support system at home — so that I know that they would be okay if I wasn’t here.' 

She later explained: 'I can’t carry anymore kids… it’s the worst. I give up.'

Discussing the prospect of surrogacy, she added: 'Kanye was really nervous about the surgery… but I know he would want to have more kids.

'I feel like surrogacy is the only option for me. Kanye and I are going to look into other options and see what we are comfortable with … but I’m definitely leaning towards [surrogacy].

'I always knew surrogacy was an option - now it’s my reality. Whatever is meant to be will be.'

The reality starlet, previously revealed that her sisters Khloe and Kourtney and her best friend Chrissy Teigen had offered to be her surrogate in the past following her health concerns.

As well as being a risk to her health, Kim has admitted that she found pregnancy 'the worst experience of her life!' 

Writing on her website, she explained: 'I'm gonna keep it real: For me, pregnancy is the worst experience of my life!'

The socialite continued to express her most frustrating concerns with the process, noting 'the complete mindf**k of how your body expands and nothing fits'.

Kim also spoke about how 'disgusting' pregnancy can be, and how women are never prepared for it because no one likes to talk about it.

'Do you know you basically have to wear a diaper for two months afterwards?' she asked,'I don't feel sexy, either - I feel insecure and most of the time I just feel gross,' Kim revealed of her state of mind.
