Kourtney Kardashian flaunted her beach bod on spring break, but she also kindly reminded fans that postpartum fitness goals are no joke.
The reality TV personality shared beach photos in a bikini on Instagram Stories on Sunday, encouraging other mothers to embrace their baby-ravaged figures with kindness.
“Your body is beautiful at all stages,” the 44-year-old mom of four wrote. “During pregnancy as we are glowing and growing, postpartum as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find hardest as our bodies are still adjusting.”
Kourtney wrote that “breastfeeding … is a whole other part of it,” noting, “I try to be kind to myself as my body finds a new normal.”
Kourtney Kardashian pointed out the high expectations felt for those who have given birth to get back to their previous shape. “The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different isn’t realistic,” she wrote.
The socialite ended her message on a note of hope. “Life is beautiful, you are beautiful. Just a little reminder (for me too). XOXO,” she concluded.
The Kids Were Left at Home for Kourtney Kardashian’s ‘Spring Break’
The heartfelt mommy inspiration arrives five months following the arrival of their son, Rocky, with her husband drummer Travis Barker. Kourtney Kardashian is the mother of Mason, 14, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 9, with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick.
Meanwhile, Barker has a son named Landon, aged 20, and a daughter named Alabama, aged 18, from his previous marriage with Shanna Moakler. He also maintains a strong bond with his former stepdaughter, Atiana.
Although one might argue that their lives are something of a perpetual vacation, Kourtney is on “spring break” with her sisters Kim and Khloé Kardashian. The reality star trio is currently hitting the beaches at Turks and Caicos.
Over the weekend, Kim and Khloé Kardashian made waves in snake skin-themed bathing suits. Images of the sizzling duo found their way to social media.
With all of the motherly talk, it is noteworthy that the kids were left at home for this sisterly vacation. Kim has four children: North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four. These children are from her past marriage to Kanye West, who is now married to the Australian architect Bianca Censori.
Meanwhile, Khloe is a mother of two children: her daughter True, aged five, and her son Tatum, who will be two in July. Tatum is her child with her ex-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson.
