Kim Kardashian, now in her 36th week of pregnancy, has revealed her baby boy is breech and she needs him to turn.

In a new blog post on her website Tuesday, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star wrote she was up at 4AM "a little anxious" to deliver her second child.
"[I] surrendered to the placenta issues," Kardashian said, according to People, explaining however her baby is currently in the wrong position for childbirth in that his head is facing upwards when he was supposed to have turned by 32 weeks.
Kardashian, 35, is reportedly attempting to avoid a C-section, so she's researching other options. She's willing to try anything.
"I've learned that you actually can deliver a breech baby and I feel fortunate that my doctor Paul Crane is one of the few doctors that still does this. They just don't even teach it anymore," wrote Kardashian, who watched a documentary called "Heads Up."

"I found it very interesting that I do have this option to deliver a breech baby as opposed to just jumping into a C-section. Obviously, if it's an emergency and for the safety of my son, I will get a C-section -- but if I don't need one, I'd rather not."
Kardashian disclosed that four percent of women struggle with breech babies, so she's a little frustrated by the bad luck.
"It's been hard because I usually go to my mom or [my sister Kourtney Kardashian] for baby and pregnancy advice, but they both -- with nine total pregnancies! -- have never experienced one of these crazy things," she said.
Kardashian's son might be too big to turn, People reported, because he's over seven pounds.
In addition to "intensive chiropractic work," she's trying musical therapy as well as acupuncture and hypnosis.

Now, Kardashian wrote she'd like to give Version or ECV, a procedure to turn the baby, a chance.
"You should Google this and watch it because it looks so painful and scary and has to be done in the hospital. So please wish me luck and pray the baby turns!" Kardashian explained. "This whole delivery gives me anxiety, not gonna lie. I hope the baby turns and all goes well but I'm prepared for anything!"
Keeping Up with the Kardashians airs Sunday nights at 9PM ET/PT on E!.
