Kourtney wrote: ‘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.’
Adding: ‘And if you’re breastfeeding, that’s a whole other part of it. 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.’
‘Life is beautiful, you are beautiful. Just a little reminder (for me too). XOXO,’ she concluded, also adding a white and blue heart.
The Instagram slideshow pictures she shared featured Kourtney wearing a black bikini while grinning in the ocean.

She jokingly captioned it: ‘My diamond earring came off in the ocean and its gone,’ which refers to the infamous moment in 2011 during season six of their series Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
During the 2011 episode, Kim exclaimed ‘My diamond earring came off in the ocean and it’s gone’ all the while having an emotional meltdown about it.
She was crying in the ocean and screaming that it cost $75,000.
In the now infamous KUWTK clip, Kourtney saw her and while carrying son Mason, who was almost two years old at the time, said in an annoyed voice: ‘Kim there’s people that are dying….’
For Kourtney’s post and hilarious caption, mom Kris Jenner commented back Kim’s line and just swapped out the names: ‘Kourtney there are people that are dying…..’
On Sunday she also shared a repost of her sister Kim Kardashian’s Instagram slideshow – which featured stunning images of Kim and Khloe Kardashian in their swimwear on the beach.
It appears that Kourtney was not invited to the beach shoot – as she jokingly wrote on her stories ‘I love taking pics with my sisters!’ – joking sarcastically.

Kourtney and Travis welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen, on November 1, 2023.
Kourtney and Travis publicly announced her pregnancy in June 2023, while paying homage to a Blink-182 music video – All The Small Things.
In the music video, a woman holds up a sign that says ‘Travis I’m Pregnant.’
Kourtney recreated that during a Blink-182 concert in June in Los Angeles for an adorable public announcement.
In September, Kourtney had to undergo a life-saving fetal surgery.
She took to her Instagram days after she was released to thank the staff at the hospital, as well as Travis for being by her side.
‘I will forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life. I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me int he hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock.’
Kourtney has three children with ex-partner Scott Disick: sons Mason, 14, and Reign, nine, and daughter Penelope, 11.
Travis is dad to son Landon, 20, daughter Alabama, 18, and stepdaughter Atiana, 25, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

Adding: ‘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.’
In December 2022, Kourtney revealed she stopped IVF 10 months prior, because it caused her spiral into a deep depression among other symptoms.
She had been very open about her struggle with IVF on Hulu’s The Kardashians.
Kourtney and Travis conceived Rocky naturally, she revealed in an interview with Vogue in November 2023.

‘We just got pregnant naturally. It was an indescribable feeling. Shock, then super-happy, fear seats in, worry, but I remember then to have gratitude.’
Kourtney and Travis started dating in 2020 after almost 10 years of friendship; Travis was also her neighbor.
They went Instagram official in February 2021, and engaged by October 2022.
They tied the knot in May 2022 in a Santa Barbara courthouse, and went to Portofino, Italy a week later to hold a lavish wedding at the Dolce & Gabbana mansion in front of their friends and family.
