In a recent interview with Fit Pregnancy, the 35-year-old spoke about the experience of her third pregnancy.

She said: 'I love being pregnant in general. This time I'm more tired than I was the other times. I think it's because I'm always running around and working on different things. But I feel comfortable with how I look and feel. I find a pregnant body to be beautiful and an incredible reminder of what a woman's body is made to do."

Her long-term partner Scott Disick had initially expressed his apprehension at the news that he was due to become a father for the third time. Kourtney to said she feared her pregnancy had put pressure on her relationship.
