Kim Kardashian has been through a lot in the past year, and now, we're finally getting to witness exactly what that means for her and her family on Keeping Up With The Kardashians this season. Between her robbery in Paris and the family dealing with the challenge of increasing their security, it sounds like it's been a really stressful time for her. But now, she could have something really exciting in her future. Kardashian is ready to try for her third baby, and even though she and husband Kanye West obviously make really adorable kids, it might not be the best decision for her health.

In a promo that aired after Sunday's new episode of KUWTK, Kardashian announces that she wants to have one more baby, because she wants her kids, North and Saint, to have more siblings like she did. There's even a quick clip of her in a doctor's office, but instead of happiness, the tone of the promo is definitely more concerned. Kardashian says herself that her doctors are worried, and her mom, Kris Jenner, seems to be worried about what could happen herself. It's a very short promo, but it's definitely one that raises a lot of questions.

Although the preview makes this seem like a pretty sudden decision, Kardashian has always been open about the fact that she'd like to have more children, and in Sunday's episode — the first that aired after the one that covered her robbery — she really emphasized the fact that her kids are more important to her than ever. But having another baby could be really dangerous for Kardashian, which is something else she's been open about in the past.

In fact, in 2015, Kardashian wrote a post on her website about her high risk pregnancies, explaining that while she was pregnant with North she experienced preeclampsia, and that during childbirth she developed a condition called Placenta Accreta, which happens when the placenta doesn't detach from the uterine wall naturally. It led her to have multiple surgeries after giving birth, something she said was "the most painful experience" of her life. And then, when Kardashian was pregnant with Saint, those issues could have happened again, potentially requiring a hysterectomy, but fortunately, it didn't end up coming to that.

Kardashian brought up her fertility struggles again on KUWTK last year when she played with the idea of using a surrogate. Now, it looks like she's planning to have her third baby by herself, so it's hard to figure out which route she'll choose in the end.

If Kardashian does decide to expand her family, I hope she's able to find a way to do it safely for her and her future baby. She's such an awesome mom to North and Saint that any baby would be lucky to have her!
