Kim Kardashian just confirmed she is having a baby in the new 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' teaser

The INSIDER Summary:

• Kim Kardashian West has confirmed that she and Kanye West are having a baby. 
• She revealed the news in a teaser for the upcoming 14th season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which she shared on Instagram.
• Reports that the mom of two would be having her third child via a surrogate first surfaced in June.
• People reported in early September that Kim would be having a baby girl in January 2018.
• Reports of Khloe and Kylie Jenner's reported pregnancies have not been publicly confirmed.

Kim Kardashian West has confirmed the reports that she and her husband Kanye West are having a baby.

The reality TV star and mom of two revealed the news on Instagram, sharing a teaser for the upcoming 14th season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which airs on E! this Sunday.

In the clip, Kim appears to FaceTime Khloe. "What happens every time I say, 'Guess what?'" Kim asks her sister, to which Khloe replies: "The person's pregnant?" Kim then answers: "We're having a baby!"

Reports that Kim is expecting a baby via a surrogate have been circulating for some time, but she has stayed silent on the topic and given vague answers in interviews with the press. In June, TMZ was the first to report that the couple's third child would be due in January 2018. Us Weekly reported in September that they are expecting a girl.

A People report from September confirming the news cited a source who told the site that "Kim had been looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate."

The 36-year-old star had two difficult pregnancies with her children, North and Saint, and even endured a miscarriage scare during her first pregnancy.

As a previous INSIDER article notes, Kim discovered that she suffers from placenta accreta, a health condition that makes labor and delivery more difficult, during her first pregnancy. According to the American Pregnancy Association, placenta accreta is when the placenta, an organ that develops during pregnancy, attaches too deep in the uterine wall, making it hard to detach and remove during birth.

In a blog post on her website, Kim described the pain she faced after giving birth. "My doctor had to stick his entire arm in me and detach the placenta with his hand, scraping it away from my uterus with his fingernails," she wrote. "How disgusting and painful."

After her second pregnancy with Saint, Kim had a failed surgery to be able to have more kids, according to People, which reportedly led her to enlist the help of a surrogate to expand her family.

Dr. Nathaniel G. DeNicola, an OB-GYN affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, told Parents that the condition can lead to fertility issues and other potential health risks. "In addition to the likely need for a Cesarean Hysterectomy, women with placenta accreta are at risk for heavy blood loss during delivery, called postpartum hemorrhage," DeNicola told the site.

Kim's sisters' Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner are also reportedly expecting to have babies around the same time. However, their alleged pregnancies have not been publicly confirmed.

Some fans believe that all three pregnancies will be announced on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," according to BuzzFeed.

Representatives for Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Caitlyn Jenner, and "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" did not immediately reply to INSIDER's requests for comment throughout our ongoing coverage of the alleged pregnancies.
