Kourtney Kardashian Barker is getting candid about the struggles she faced when she entered motherhood at 30.During the latest episode of “The Kardashians,” the reality star, 46, said she didn’t feel like she had any guidance before giving birth to her eldest son, Mason, who is now 15. “When I was 30, and I had Mason, nobody told me what to do, I didn’t read any books, but the way that I felt, my maternal instinct, was to do attachment parenting,” the mom of four said in a confessional. Kardashian Barker said she became “more intentional” before her daughter, Penelope, was born in 2012. “Before I had Penelope, though, I read the attachment parenting book, and it was more intentional,” she shared during the Nov. 27 episode. “And even though I was working, I didn’t really think it was an option to not work. Now, I have the option not to work, and I feel grateful to be able to find what I connect to.” Kourtney Kardashian and son Mason in 2013.Mark Sullivan via Getty ImagesKardashian Barker and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker share a 2-year-old son, Rocky.

To those who do them, I just say: How dare you question God’s plan?” she told Vanity Fair Italia. “Because that’s how I see this pregnancy, which in fact arrived when both Travis [Barker] and I no longer even thought about it and a year after we stopped trying with assisted fertilization.” In August, the “Keeping up with the Kardashians” alum dismissed rumors that she was expecting again.Underneath an Aug. 8 carousel Instagram post of her family’s trip to Idaho, one social media user commented, “Rumors have it that you’re pregnant Kourtney.”“Eating pancakes,” she quipped in response, adding, “and jumping off cliffs.”Close
