Kim Kardashian West falls ill as she nears the end of her pregnancy

Los Angeles - Kim Kardashian West has fallen in during her second pregnancy.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star - who is expected to give birth in the coming weeks - has been struck down by a sinus infection and flu.

She took to Twitter to post a picture of her pregnant belly and is clearly feeling down about the situation as she added a sad emoji to her tweet.

The raven-haired star - who is carrying her second child with husband Kanye West - added the caption: "37 WEEKS x SINUS INFECTION x FLU = [sad emoji] (sic)"

Kim has been pregnant longer with her second child than she was with her first baby, two-year-old North West, after she was forced to give birth to the little one five weeks early.

It is well documented that the 35-year-old star doesn't enjoy being pregnant much, having previously described it as the "worst experience of my life".

And last month, Kim revealed she had piled on 52lbs (24kg) during her latest pregnancy.

She tweeted: "Ok I'm 52 lbs up today....and I still have 6 weeks to go! I got my work cut out for me!!!! (sic)"

The reality TV star also had the perfect response to a 'fan' that called her a "fat bitch" on Twitter.
