Giving Birth Kourtney Kardashian Style

September 19, 2012 Lucy Britain

This past Sunday, the long awaited season finale of E!’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” aired and yes, I was one of the 3.6 million people watching Kourtney Kardashian, 33, give birth to her new baby girl Penelope Scotland Disick. As scripted as the show might seem at times, this was definitely a moment of reality as Kourtney literally pulled Penelope out of her vagina. Thoughts, anyone?

Personally, I have three fears in life: public speaking, death and oh yea, giving birth. I know all about public speaking – been there, done that, but for me and many other women, as many times as we’ve heard about it or seen it in health class (and now on The Kardashians), giving birth is still a mystery. I don’t want to scare anyone, but the fact that there are basically two options, your vagina tearing or your stomach having to be ripped open (kill me now on both accounts), scares the living crap out of me. It was refreshing to see Kourtney not only give birth, but see her still get scared even though she has already had one child.

Giving birth is a natural thing, or so they tell us, but the “shocker” came when Kourtney grabbed little Penelope out of her vagina. I don’t know why everyone was shocked, she did this for Mason too. Fashion & Style reported twitter users said, ”Ew i just watched Kourtney Kardashian pull out her fetus” and ”Seeing as nothing is sacred to this family maybe next season we will see them going to the [bathroom].” For me, it was tough to watch, but educational.

What do you think? Would you give birth Kourtney Kardashian style? Would you ever give birth on reality TV? Watch Kourtney give birth to Penelope below:

Honestly, I can’t even imagine pulling a baby out of my own vagina. The mere thought of it makes me nauseous! More power to her for doing it.

Yikes! I think childbirth is a very personal and private thing, so for me personally I would never give birth on tv…unless they pay me millions of dollars lol, j/k

I love the Kardashians and I adore Kourtney. I think it’s super badass of her to have pulled out BOTH of her children during birth–it makes her more proactive during the process, I think. Though I’d never give birth on television, kudos to her for being comfortable and willing to show the world what giving birth can possibly be like. I also liked that she was considering alternative births such as water and home births–it’s eye opening to many viewers who maybe have never heard of such things.

I don’t care what anyone says, I’m obsessed with this family, even if they do at times, overshare.

That picture of her is terrible! The headline of the article made me lol!

I haven’t watched the last episode of KUWTK yet, so the video above was a first time watch for me. I agree with Lola in that Kourtney is so fierce in being able to pull her own baby out during childbirth. I give her major credit for that as well as the fact that she does do her research with anything related to her kids. She considered alternative birth methods and she’s constantly posting pictures on twitter of books she’s reading about raising children.

That being said, one question I did have is: was the ENTIRE family in the delivery room watching the birth like it was a movie? That was my impression from the video above, and if that is the case, they might as well have been eating popcorn! I don’t how I feel about that! I think I’d rather pull my own baby out of my vagina than have my brother stare at my vagina while I’m giving birth! Clearly privacy is not in this family’s vocab!
