Kourtney Kardashian is getting candid about her postpartum struggles. The mom of four revealed on Instagram that she didn't feel “quite ready” to film The Kardashians season five trailer
“BTS shooting all the promos for our @kardashianshulu billboards n’ stuff for season 5! I was 3 months postpartum and not feeling quite ready for a big shoot like this where there’s lots and lots of people watching me all day,” she wrote.
“And even though my baby boy was with me all day on set it’s not the same when I’m covered in makeup, in high heels and wearing a dress versus our snuggly days at home in pajamas,” she continued.
“Something I’ve been doing lately is shifting my mind set and thinking of the positives!” she added. “I am so blessed to be able to bring my baby to work. How fun to get to be glammed up when I’ve been home for months in pajamas. How blessed to get to work alongside my sisters and mom…we really have so much fun together! What a beautiful life!”
Kourtney Kardashian Encourages Moms Going Through Postpartum
This is not the first time that Kourtney has opened up about dealing with postpartum.
“7 weeks postpartum,” Kourtney wrote on her Instagram Story on Dec. 20 with a photo of herself. “First day in the gym.”
She added: “Taking it easy, no rush,” she continued. “No pressure mamas, your body is healing, it's not a race.”
Kourtney and her husband Travis Barker welcomed their first child together back in November. Their son Rocky Thirteen Barker, has a host of siblings, as both Kourtney and Travis have children from their previous relationships. Kourtney shares sons Mason, and Reign, and daughter Penelope with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. Travis is the father to his son Landon and daughter Alabama with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. The Blink-182 drummer also is the stepfather to Atiana De La Hoya who Moakler shares with ex Oscar De La Hoya.
Even throughout Kourtney's pregnancy with Rocky, the reality star has been very open about her struggles including the emergency fetal surgery she had in September 2023.
“I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” Kourtney began her caption on the photo.
“I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this,” she continued.
“As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear,” she added. “I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”
She concluded, “Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.”
