Concerned about her weight gain with her second baby, Kardashian has continued her workouts and pours her curves into skin-tight fashions.

Kufa warned that there are many instances when pregnant women like Kardashian should avoid figure-fitting body slimmers.

"The heat and humidity in the atmosphere can cause serious rashes and skin infections." What do you think about Kim’s pregnancy fashion choices? Sound off in the comments below.
