Pregnant Kim Kardashian finds out the sex of her baby during doctor's appointment... but where is boyfriend Kanye West?
By JADE WATKINS
It is one of the most important doctor's appointment an expectant mother and father will attend.
But once again Kanye West was absent when his girlfriend Kim Kardashian found out the sex of their unborn child.
Instead Kim was joined by members of her family, including her mother and manager Kris Jenner and her two sisters Kourtney and Khloe in an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Boy or girl? Pregnant Kim Kardashian is seen finding out the sex of her baby in an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians
In the sneak preview clip, a heavily made-up Kim was helped onto a bed by her mother once the clan were inside the doctor's office.
Pulling her top up to expose her pregnant belly, the Kardashian family doctor, Dr. Paul Crane, proceeded with the ultrasound.
'Once I knew the sex, that is when I got so excited,' Kourtney tells Kim as she anxiously awaits the results.

As the family look at the ultrasound monitor, Dr. Crane takes them through the whole anatomy of Kim's baby, much to the delight of her mother Kris.
'Look at that! Look at the little ankle! Oh Kim look!' Kris shrieks in the background excitedly.
'Do you see a little pee pee?'

Before the doctor tells Kim and her family members the gender, the camera cuts away to keep the news a surprise.
Kim has previously said that she and Kanye wanted to keep the baby's sex a secret.
However, it has been widely reported and rumuoured that Kim is having a girl.
Almost time! Kim is due to give birth in a matter of weeks
And if her feminine baby shower invites are anything to go by it may well be true.
A picture of Kim's invite to the shower on June 2 has surfaced, revealing it to be a fully-functioning music box.
Once opened, a spinning ballerina is said to start moving to a lullaby version of her boyfriend Kanye West's song Hey Mama.
Sisterly love: Kim was also joined by her two sisters Kourtney and Khloe
Hilariously over the top, the ballerina also bears a striking resemblance to Kim herself.
The invite explains that the shower is being hosted by Kris Jenner, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, and the wife of music producer Irving Azoff, Shelli Azoff.
The recommended attire for the event is 'garden chic' but hopefully Kim will leave her love of floral print gowns alone for this occasion.

Kanye's absence at Kim's doctors appointment does however come after the rapper made it clear to his girlfriend that he didn't want to appear on her popular reality show.
But no reference was made about Kim's beau in the clip, spelling that the 35-year-old was perhaps not even in the same country as she went for the scan.
Kim is due to give birth in a matter of weeks, but with their busy work commitments it seems the couple are still spending a considerable amount of time apart.

Currently hanging out in Paris with her 'mom-ager' Kris, it seems strange that Kim is unable to join Kanye as he currently travels around Europe.
There has been reports that the plan for Kim's trip was to meet up with Kanye, who is currently in Milan.
But so far Kim has had to make do with spending time in one of the most romantic cities in the world with her mother Kris, 54.
You're invited: Kim's baby shower invite was revealed this week
A source close to Kim tells MailOnline that Kim was unable to join Kanye because of a fashion shoot.
The shoot in question took place on Wednesday with the legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld at his studio in Paris.
Earlier this month, Kim admitted in an interview than she and Kanye live 'different lives' and it has become increasingly rare to see the two of them out together. Spending time apart: Kim and Kanye have spent considerable time apart in the last few weeks
Meanwhile, a source tells Radar that Kim's sister Kourtney is furious with her for considering taking her baby on Kanye's international tour once she's given birth.
A source said: 'The decision has seriously irked Kourtney. She thinks it's very selfish of Kim to take the baby on tour with Kanye.'
'Babies need stability, and a schedule, which will be very hard to do when changing time zones and hotel rooms.'
