Kim Kardashian West had just about given up on getting pregnant again, before receiving news that she and husband Kanye West were expecting their second child.

The couple - who welcomed their 23-month-old daughter North in June 2013 - have been open about their desire to expand their family and a thrilled Kim expresses her relief at having finally fallen pregnant for the second time as she chats to sister Khloe Kardashian, 30, in the clip from an upcoming episode of the E! series.

She says: "I just got the blood test back, and I am pregnant!"

E! quickly took to their Twitter account to congratulate the star, writing: "Congrats! @KimKardashian reveals she's pregnant with baby number two (sic)"

And Kanye, 37, is said to be equally excited at the prospect of adding to his brood.

Kim's trainer, Gunnar Peterson told PEOPLE: "A lot of people worry that being a dad will take away from work or couplehood, but Kanye has gotten better at everything since he's become a dad."

The brunette beauty has documented the challenges she has faced conceiving baby number two on the reality show and admitted to feeling exhausted after undergoing IVF.

In a recent episode of the show, a doctor explained that Kim would have to come back into the surgery for a trigger shot and the results of a biopsy, to which she replied: "I'm like so over it. Like I'm exhausted, so I'm sure everyone gets to that point. I'm like, 'Okay, I'm done'."

She also told her half sister Kendall Jenner when the series aired in April: "I complain so much about how I hated being pregnant, and I never thought I would be begging to be pregnant.

"Trying for baby number two is just not fun like baby number one ... I'm like, 'I'm ovulating in five minutes! Get over here!'"

While the clip doesn't show why Kim is getting tired of trying for a baby, a source has said that she found out an implanted embryo doesn't take.

Speaking to Us Weekly, the source said: "Kim has been undergoing IVF. It's causing problems with her body."

The source also added that the superstar couple may start to pursue a surrogate in June if they're still struggling to conceive, and would choose that route "over adoption".

The fact that the couple are expanding their family could be the reason that Kanye is "desperate" to buy Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch.

The huge property - which was owned by the late 'Thriller' singer from 1988 to 2005 and included an amusement park and petting zoo - recently went up for sale for $100 million and the 37-year-old 'All Day' rapper reportedly wants to buy it as a gift for his wife, after falling in love with the 2400 acres, following a few visits.
