Kim Kardashian on pregnancy with Kanye West's baby

She doesn’t have morning sickness, but Kim Kardashian says it's a stretch to call her pregnancy pleasant.

“I wouldn't say that it's been easy," the reality TV star told “Entertainment Tonight” at a New Year's Eve party in Las Vegas Monday night.

“When people say pregnancy is fun and they love it, I would have to disagree," she said. "It's not as easy as people think. It is, you know, a little painful. There's a lot of growing pains."

Rapper Kanye West’s baby mama said she managed to get through her first 12 weeks without any nausea or vomiting, so she's hopeful things will get even better.

"I think from this stage on it does become easier and funner," she told “ET” on the red carpet for the Mirage resort's 1 Oak nightclub. "I heard it's all worth it, so I'm looking forward to that, and I'm excited."

Asked if she was tired as others counted down to midnight, the buxom beauty said she takes "lots of naps" to compensate for her whirlwind schedule.

In a separate interview with Us magazine, she revealed she wants to learn her baby’s gender before giving birth.

"Of course I want to know. I can't find out yet, but I do want to know," she revealed at the Sin City shindig.

"It's definitely an adjustment learning about your body and stuff like that," she told Us.

Kardashian, 32, hit the 1 Oak party just a day after West, 35, dropped the baby bombshell during a performance in Atlantic City.

The happy couple raced from New Jersey to Los Angeles early Monday and then high-tailed it to Vegas for Kardashian's long-scheduled paid appearance.

Clad in a see-through black mesh dress with strategically placed appliqués, Kardashian mugged for the cameras as she cuddled and kissed her beaming beau.

The spotlight soakfest was in line with Kardashian's highly public persona and a stark contrast to the report she and West plan to keep their infant far away from any TV cameras and out of the family biz.

According to TMZ.com, the parents-to-be have decided their newborn will not appear in a "Kim Gives Birth" special or on any reality shows for that matter.

They want to "ensure real privacy" for the celebrity spawn, an unidentified source told TMZ.

Just how private may be up for debate: E!, the home of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians," is already making plans.

“Like so many Kardashian fans, we love it when this close-knit family gets even bigger. We look forward to sharing the joy as they prepare for more diapers, more bottles and without a doubt, more fabulous baby wear," E! President Suzanne Kolb told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement.

In the meantime, Kim’s “momager,” Kris Jenner, has solicited offers from national celebrity magazines for an exclusive cover story on her daughter’s pregnancy, a well-placed source told the Daily News.

No one knows what soon-to-be famous gown Kate Middleton has chosen for her wedding, but she's apparently trying to ward off fears about showing up naked. In her dreams, of course.

Kate and Prince William have both been described as overcome by pre-wedding jitters (understandably -- they'll tie the knot in front of 1,900 guests and 2 billion viewers) and the pressure's apparently seeping into Kate's subconscious.

A source told The Sun: “Kate has the last-minute jitters and just wants the day to arrive. But her nerves have manifested in an interesting way. A recurring dream she hadn’t had for years has raised its head again. She finds herself in front of the congregation and then becomes suddenly aware she is completely naked."

For some psychological insight via Dreammoods.com: "Becoming mortified at the realization that you are naked in public, reflects your vulnerability or feelings of shamefulness. Your naked dream may be telling you that you are trying to be something that you are really not."

Kate's been scrutinized for coming from a normal background, drinking too much, wearing revealing clothes, etc. so maybe it's really all been eating away at her. She joked that the worst part of the nightmare is Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip staring her down, and Queen Elizabeth may be the most intimidating judge of character on this planet.

Catherine Elizabeth "Kate" Middleton (born 9 January 1982) is the fiancée of Prince William of Wales. Since their relationship began, Middleton has received widespread media attention and there was much speculation that they would eventually marry. On 16 November 2010, the office of the Prince of Wales at Clarence House announced their engagement. On 23 November, it was announced the wedding will take place on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey, with the day declared a bank holiday in the UK.

Middleton grew up in Berkshire and, after attending Marlborough College, went to the University of St Andrews, where she met Prince William, also studying there, in 2001. They started a relationship, followed by media attention, triggering complaints by Middleton that the media were harassing her. In April 2007, the press reported that William and Middleton had split up. They continued to be friends, and later in 2007 they reunited. Since then, Middleton has attended many high-profile royal events. She has been admired for her fashion sense and has been placed on numerous "best dressed" lists.
