Celeb Couples Who Had Trouble Getting Pregnant

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West

Kim Kardashian West is nearing the end of her second pregnancy, but getting pregnant with daughter North was difficult for the reality TV star. And though she has openly documented the struggle on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," it was her sister Khloe's struggle to get pregnant that gave Kim the courage to expose her own battle to have a second baby.

"Khloe has been very open about her fertility issues, and I think I was always really kind of quiet about mine, and I have similar issues, and so it was a pleasant surprise when so many doctors were telling me one thing and then the opposite happens," she told the "Today Show." "That's an exciting moment, you can plan for things like that. So I think it's just such a blessing knowing my circumstances."
