Kourtney Kardashian just opened up about the unrealistic pressures new moms face to get back their pre-baby bodies in a candid Instagram message that will no doubt be extremely well-received among her fans!
The eldest Kardashian sister and husband Travis Barker welcomed their son Rocky Thirteen Barker on November 1st, 2023, and she hasn’t been shy about embracing her post-baby body.
An example of this is when she attended the annual Kardashian Christmas party held at sister Kim Kardashian‘s house, wearing a sexy bodysuit with sheer tights and covering up with an oversized coat because she had only given birth the month before. “When not much in the closet fits yet and the boobs are filled with milk, throw on a cozy coat,” she candidly captioned an Instagram post which showed off her outfit in more detail.
Kourtney Kardashian Opens Up About The Pressures New Moms Face To Get Back To Their Pre-Baby Body
The 44-year-old Poosh founder got real once again when she shared a picture of herself in a bikini from her Turks and Caicos vacation with Kim and Khloé Kardashian. She captioned an Instagram Story of herself in the ocean wearing a gorgeous black bikini: "Dear new mommies. Your body is beautiful at all stages."
"During pregnancy as we are glowing and growing, postpartum as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find the hardest as our bodies are still adjusting. And if you're breastfeeding, that's a whole other part of it," the caption continued.
"I try to be kind to myself as my body finds a new normal. The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different isn't realistic," she added, before concluding with the message: "Life is beautiful, you are beautiful. Just a little reminder (for me too)."

Kourtney Kardashian Trolls Kim Kardashian For Infamous 'Diamond Earring' Moment
Kourtney also shared the same image on her Instagram grid on April 7th, with a much more light-hearted caption. The mom-of-four referenced Kim Kardashian's infamous moment on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which saw her lose one of her diamond earrings when then-boyfriend Kris Humphries threw her into the water. The caption read: "My diamond earring came off in the ocean and it's gone."
"Kourtney there are people that are dying," trolled momager Kris Jenner, referencing the exact line Kourtney said to Kim after the incident. "Thank you for always reminding her of that moment Kourt. We love you the most," gushed one fan, while others noted how happy she looked in the picture. "That's a pure smile tho!" exclaimed one fan, followed by the smiley face emoji and red heart emoji.
"Not the diamond earring," commented one fan, followed by the crying emoji. "Till this day you're still crowned as the funniest Kardashian just fyi," raved another fan, as someone else said, "She's so iconic," preceded by five crying laughing emojis.
