Kim Kardashian is seeing that being pregnant is not all that it is cracked up to be. she admits it’s way harder than she thought it would be.

The reality star, 32, stepped out on the red carpet for the first time since announcing she’s expecting a baby with boyfriend Kanye West and said that although she has no morning sickness, she’s definitely adjusting to “the growing pains.”

“I wouldn’t say that it’s been easy,” Kim told ET Online at the New Year’s Eve event at 1OAK Nightclub at The Mirage in Las Vegas last night. “When people say pregnancy is fun and they love it I would have to disagree. I think from this stage on it does become easier, but it’s adjusting” she added.

“Even my sister has made it look easy, but it’s not as easy as people think,” Kim continued, referring to Kourtney Kardashian’s amazing pregnancies. “It’s a little painful … But I heard it’s all worth it, so I’m looking forward to that.”

As for what she’s looking forward to in 2013 — aside from welcoming her bundle of joy — Kim says she’s eager to spend time with her family and prepare for this exciting moment in her life.

“I feel really good,” she gushed. “This new year is about being happy and being healthy and that’s what I plan on doing.”

Like the rest of the world, pregnancy isn’t a fan of Kim’s either. I feel so sorry for this child…The product of two publicity Hogs who are going to milk this baby for all it’s worth. So sad.
