Kourtney previously say she ’d been read to “ comprehend the change ” in her torso due to months and month of intensive IVF handling .
Kourtney KardashianBarker has had her say on thesocietal pressureswomen face to “bounce back” after pregnancy.
Last year, Kourtney welcomed her first child with her husband, Travis Barker.Rocky Thirteen Barkerwas born on November 1 and is Kourt’s fourth child after Mason, Penelope, and Reign, who she shares with herex, Scott Disick.
As you may know, Kourtney — who turned 45 in April — went through five failedrounds of IVFbefore Rocky was conceived naturally. OnThe Kardashiansin 2022, she opened up about how “eight months of IVF treatment”caused changes in her body.
And now that baby Rocky is here, Kourtney’s made it clear that she’s not giving in to societal pressures to “bounce back” immediately and start pushing herself to lose weight.
In this week’s episode ofThe Kardashians,Kris Jennerheaded to Kourtney’s house to lend a hand with a fitting she had ahead of herappearance at the Emmys, where Travis performed.
The Emmys took place in January, so this scene was presumably filmed when Kourtney was about two months postpartum. And in her confessional, Kourtney explained that she was a little nervous about being out in public again after giving birth to Rocky.
In the fitting, Kourtney explained to Kris that she’d requested to try on “some baggy suits” for her Emmys look because she still had “ten pounds” to lose if she wanted “to get back to [her] pre-pregnancy weight.”
A few moments later, Kourtney returned wearing a waist-snatching corset, prompting Kris to observe: “It’s crazy how the body snaps back.” However, in her confessional, Kourtney emphasized that snapping back is not something she’s focused on.
“My priority is not bouncing back and getting my body back in shape like it has been in the past,” she said before recalling how different her mindset was when she gave birth to her first child, Mason, in 2009.
“I remember after having Mason, it used to be a really big thing to talk about how soon can you bounce back. Everyone would do magazine covers. I did a magazine cover in a bikini and [was] stressing myself out to eat a certain diet,” she said. “This time, I’m really just all about nourishing my body and eating the best foods to keep up my milk supply.”
In the past, Kourtney has reacted to people who’vecommented on her post-baby bodyon social media. As recently as April, she shut down one Instagram user who suggested that she would disapprove of a photograph her sisterKim postedof her wearing a bikini on her birthday.
The Kardashianscan be streamed on Hulu in the US andDisney+ internationally. The next episode drops on July 4.
