‘I desperately need my sleep now because I only have a month left before I emerge as a human and I’m exhausted.

‘Thank you to my beautiful other half for making today so special! I’m going to sleep feeling so grateful tonight!’

It comes after Kendall and Alex announced they are expecting a baby boy in a sweet gender reveal video shared on his social media page.

After announcing the “magical” news, Kendall shared that she is “at high risk” of having a child prematurely for medical reasons, and revealed that she has been suffering from terrible morning sickness.

In a Q&A about her Story, a fan asked her exactly how far along she was and she replied, “I’m not going to say exactly how far along I am for a number of reasons.”

‘People get so fixated on the date for medical reasons because I’ve had a few treatments and surgeries in the past that put me at high risk of having a baby prematurely.

‘Fingers crossed that everything will be fine and that I can last the full term, that’s the dream. It took me four months.’

She added of her first-trimester illness: “I didn’t know your illness could get so bad that you just wanted to give up and just lie on the couch and cry.

“The disease – I go into more detail on my TikTok…I heard the mom brigade on Instagram is really bad.”

Her caption read: “I’m still sick right now! But now I only assume I’m sick once a day.”

Alongside a photo of the lavish room, the TV personality wrote: “I desperately need my sleep right now because I only have a month left before I pop out as a human being and I’m exhausted.”

‘The first three months I was sick on average five/six times a day, I couldn’t keep anything down.’

She went on to say that they hadn’t told anyone their pregnancy news for a while and had it as their “little secret” before telling her sister for the first time when she reached nine weeks.

Kendall explained how they kept it all between themselves “for so many reasons.”

In September, Kendall revealed she was pregnant with her first child.

In the snap shared to Instagram, Kendall looked stunning in a white bikini as she cradled her bump.
