“I’m Taking My Time”: Kourtney Kardashian Got Real About The Pressure To “Bounce Back” After Having A Baby

Kourtney Kardashian Barker has had her say on the societal pressures women face to “bounce back” after pregnancy.

Last year, Kourtney welcomed her first child with her husband, Travis Barker. Rocky Thirteen Barker was born on November 1 and is Kourt’s fourth child after Mason, Penelope, and Reign, who she shares with her ex, Scott Disick.

As you may know, Kourtney — who turned 45 in April — went through five failed rounds of IVF before Rocky was conceived naturally.

On The Kardashians in 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 of The Kardashians, Kris Jenner headed to Kourtney’s house to lend a hand with a fitting she had ahead of her appearance 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.
