Kourtney Kardashian is aware of the criticism surrounding her pregnancy and she has a response to those who focus on her age. Despite being 44 years old, she is expecting her first child with her husband, Travis Barker. Kourtney recently spoke to Vanity Fair Italia about these comments, stating, “Those comments don’t affect me. To those who make them, I just say: how dare you question God’s plan?”
Kourtney and Travis had previously undergone IVF treatments, but they decided to stop due to the negative effects on Kourtney’s body and hormones. They relied on a higher power and it worked. Kourtney explained, “I knew deep down that it wasn’t the right thing. And in fact, I kept telling Travis: If we’re meant to have a baby, then it’s just going to happen. And so it was: When we stopped forcing the process, then it happened.”
This pregnancy is different for Kourtney compared to her previous three. She stated, “Physically, I feel great. I like being pregnant. I’m obsessed with the idea of being pregnant! But this time, unlike the other three, I was followed by a different group of doctors who, in the first months, gave me many restrictions. No workouts, no Pilates, no caffeine, no plane trips. Even no sex!”
In the past month, Kourtney underwent surgery and almost lost her baby. She admits that all the caution made her fearful because she had never had to be careful before. However, she has since let go of the fear and now talks to her child every day, maintains a positive mindset, and says a lot of prayers. She feels lucky, grateful, and acknowledges that she may have taken her previous pregnancies for granted since they came easily to her.
