Kourtney Kardashian, together with Travis Barker, is expecting their first child together, adding to her existing brood of three with ex-partner Scott Disick. Despite facing criticism and negativity from haters and online trolls about her pregnancy at the age of 44, Kourtney remains unfazed and even has a message for them.
“I am not bothered by those comments. To those who make them, I simply respond: how can you dare to doubt God’s plan?” Kourtney shared in a recent conversation with Vanity Fair Italia. “That’s how I perceive this pregnancy, which unexpectedly occurred when neither Travis [Barker] nor I were actively pursuing it, even a year after we had stopped trying with assisted fertilization.”
Kourtney also further expressed her thoughts on her experience with IVF.
In an interview with a fashion magazine, she revealed that opting for assisted fertilization felt more like a default rather than a true choice. It seemed as though external pressures had pushed her towards that path, even though her instincts were telling her otherwise. She couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t right for her. She confided in her partner, Travis, expressing her belief that if they were destined to have a baby, it would happen naturally. And, as it turned out, when they decided to stop forcing the process, that’s exactly what occurred.
During the interview, Kourtney also spoke about the recent medical emergency that resulted in her need for fetal surgery and hospitalization.
The incident was a terrifying experience for her, and she expressed her hope to eventually share the details to assist others. However, at present, she doesn’t feel mentally prepared to disclose the specifics due to the intense fear she experienced.
Despite the harrowing event, Kourtney revealed that she is currently feeling physically fantastic. In fact, she confessed her affinity for being pregnant and expressed her absolute fascination with the concept of pregnancy.
Kourtney is a loving mother to three children named Mason, Penelope, and Reign, aged 13, 11, and 7 respectively. These children are shared with her former partner, Scott Disick. However, her fourth pregnancy has posed more challenges for her, as she has encountered a different set of doctors who imposed several restrictions on her during the initial months. These restrictions included abstaining from workouts, Pilates, consuming caffeine, traveling by plane, and even refraining from sexual activity. All these precautions have made her slightly apprehensive, as she had never had to exercise such caution in her previous pregnancies.
What’s the ideal approach to proceed with the pregnancy? Embracing a positive outlook.
“I make it a daily routine to engage in conversations with my baby, maintaining a positive outlook, and staying focused. I also dedicate ample time to offer prayers,” she expressed. “I genuinely perceive myself as fortunate and appreciative. I mean, I’ve always been grateful, but maybe I didn’t fully appreciate the pregnancy because it came effortlessly to me.”
