Kourtney Kardashian has been forbidden from having sex while pregnant.
The 44-year-old actress is expecting her first child with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and revealed how doctors restricted their bedroom activities.
Kourtney – who has Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, eight, with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick – said: ‘Physically I feel great. I like being pregnant. I’m obsessed with the idea of being pregnant!
‘This time, unlike the previous three, I’ve been monitored by a different group of doctors who gave me many restrictions during the initial months. No workouts, no Pilates, no caffeine, no flights. Even no sex!’
Kourtney was disturbed by the limits, which she has since put aside after being hurried into ‘urgent foetal surgery’ that’saved’ the child’s life last month.
At the time she wrote on Instagram: ‘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. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.
‘Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing. 🙏🏼🤍’
She added to Vanity Fair Italia: ‘I think all this caution made me a little afraid because I didn’t have to do this before.
‘It took me some time to let go of the fear, I would say that right after the surgery I got to the point where I started to let go, I stopped worrying.
‘Now I talk to the child every day, I have a positive mindset, my head is clear and I pray a lot.’
Kourtney received some criticism for revealing her latest pregnancy in her forties, but she seemed unfazed.
The reality star said: ‘These comments don’t touch me. I just say: how dare you question God’s plan? Because this is how I see this pregnancy, which happened when both Travis and I no longer even thought about it and when I stopped with IVF.’
Kourtney and Travis, 47, attempted IVF in order to extend their family, against the Kardashians star’s desires.
She said: ‘IVF wasn’t my choice, I was pushed into it as if it were the only option. Truth is I felt like I was doing something that wasn’t right for me.
‘Something was telling me that it wasn’t right for me – I don’t even take medicines – that it was working against my body, rather than for it.’
Kourtney’s children are overjoyed at the prospect of a new sibling and have been stroking and loving her big belly.
She said: ‘They had been asking for a while for a little sibling. Now when they go to school in the morning, they touch my belly, kiss it, say hi.’
