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.”
'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.
Meanwhile, Andrew donned a cream shirt as he proudly showed off their first ultrasound scan.
Andrew and Kendall pumped their fists in the air and beamed as they held up the card that read, “It's a boy.”

'After 5 amazing years together we couldn't be happier to say we are having a baby!!.'

Kendall made her reality show debut on the 2018 series Love Island, but became the first contestant to be dumped from the island.
During the Love Island Christmas 2018 reunion, the former shoe store worker shared a kiss with fellow contestant Eyal Booker, but the romance quickly fizzled out.
A year after leaving the show, Kendall was wooed by professional footballer Andrew, a defender at Championship club Preston North End.
She went public with their romance, sharing: “He has me. It's taken us the longest to keep ourselves private, but here's where I screw it up!
“Thank you for making me the happiest I've ever felt and also annoying me for what feels like forever. Don't worry, I plan to be just as annoying in the near future.”
