Kourtney Kardashian has responded to rumours of being pregnant again. After posting a recent image of herself to Instagram, a follower commented “is she pregnant” to which Kourtney clapped back:
“The after effects of IVF (I only acknowledge this comment because I do think it’s important to know how IVF affects women’s bodies and it’s not spoken about much) … are we still asking women if they are pregnant?”

Kourtney has been vocal about her IVF journey in attempts to have a child with husband, Travis Barker. She has openly addressed the side effects of the treatment she has been going through, inviting her followers and onlookers to be a part of their journey.
Kourtney and Travis Barker went forward with IVF treatments before they tied the knot in May 2022. Their treatments were documented on Season 1 of the Hulu reality series, The Kardashians.
The side effects of IVF took their toll on Kourtney’s emotional and physical health. She shared the following on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast:
“It really took a toll on my health and mentally…”
“The hormones. The medication. You have to get put to sleep every time. I know it’s for so many people but it’s just not for me.”
Despite the harsh side effects, she stuck with the treatments. However, noted that she felt “like we kind of got pushed into doing IVF. If you look online, it says if you’re over 40 go right away to an IVF doctor. So I felt a little bit pushed.” She then made it clear she didn’t believe that IVF may not have been the right choice for her, but believed in the universe’s timing.
“Travis and I want to have a baby. My doctor took us down this road of doing IVF, and it hasn’t been the most amazing experience.”
She later elaborated in a separate interview. “We started an IVF journey, but I stopped. It was a lot. I took a break to just focus on our wedding and getting married.”
The Poosh and lemme founder is already a mom of three: Mason, Penelope, and Reign, and her husband, Travis Barker has three children from a previous relationship. Their blended families have been featured on the show.
However, having a child may still be on the cards for Kardashian and Barker. Perhaps it’s just not our business, not not anyway.
