Kourtney Kardashian: Missed Birth Control Pills Led to Pregnancy
 Raymond Nichols/Splash News |
During an interview with Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Thursday morning, Kourtney Kardashian singled out a mix-up with birth control as the explanation for her baby-on-the-way, due this Christmas. “This probably sounds so dumb,” she admits, “but there’s so many times I’ll forget to take my pill and I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I’ve done that several times and never really thought about it. It’s just so stupid.”
Now five months along into her first pregnancy, Kourtney says that her unexpected baby news took little sister Kim Kardashian by surprise as well. “She definitely thought it was going to be her first,” Kourtney muses. “Kim has, like, every baby name picked out.” And while Kourtney doesn’t think Kim is “envious” of the pregnancy per se, siblings will be siblings! “Kim gets mad if I get, like, the car that she wants,” Kourtney noted. “She freaks out.”
It was Kourtney’s other little sister Khloe Kardashian — with whom she co-stars in the new E! reality show Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami — charged with the task of sharing the bombshell with the rest of the family. According to Kourtney, step dad Bruce Jenner’s reaction was the most sobering of all. She recalls,
“[He said], ‘You guys are acting like you’re getting a little puppy dog! You need to take this seriously’…. He freaks me out the most.”
Over the last few months Kourtney kept her bump under wraps by wearing unbuttoned jeans and a big shirt, but with the pregnancy finally out in the open she can focus all her energy on preparing for what lies ahead. First and foremost is choosing a name! No matter what the sex, baby-on-the-way’s name will begin with a letter other than K, Kourtney promises.
There is also the issue of which last name baby will have — mom’s, or that of Kourtney’s recently reconciled boyfriend Scott Disick. “I don’t know [if we're getting married],” Kourtney admits before adding,
“We’ve talked about it. I feel like there’s so much going on, but I don’t know if I can even go there.”

I normally don’t criticize celebs in this forum, but come on now Kourtney! She sounds so air-headed regarding forgetting to take her pill but not thinking it’s “that big of a deal.” I would NOT have publicly announced this.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:11 am
Ugh! I’m not a fan of the Kardashian family but I must Congratulate on the pregnancy because it is a blessing in disguise which if she hasn’t already, I’m sure Kourtney will realize. I just really hope she pulls a Nicole Richie and becomes a 100% Proud Mommy! I’m sure she will. Maybe more in the Kendra fashion though..Blunt lol. I am also happy the baby will not have a K name lol I would definitely lose track since I already do with all the K girls in this family!! LoL
August 14th, 2009 at 9:13 am
First and foremost s choosing a name? Maybe I’m a little off but in preparing for a baby aren’t there just a few things slightly more important than picking out a name?
August 14th, 2009 at 9:23 am
hu. I mean, at least she’s honest, but that really didn’t portray her as a 30-years-old with a brain. this whole family irritates me.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Bruce is completely right to be telling her this. She has no clue (and it’s so sad that she’s 4 years older than me and completely stupid when it comes to this stuff. I’ve had 2 kids already and I’m thinking she’s young and dumb, even though she’s older than me!)
August 14th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Hmm, she sounds *really* mature.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:37 am
wow…she really seems like this baby is a joke. i have a feeling its not going to be a turn around for her just by looking @ her family – they are all crazy. lets just hope for the best and that she hires some really good nannies.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:47 am
I hope the best for this baby. Its mother sounds pretty immature from the sound of this interview. I refer specifically to her (sort of) saying her sister is jealous of her. I would say she still has time to grow up but she is already 30.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Is she 13, or 30? The thought that such an utterly careless woman with little care as to what’s best as far as bringing a child into the most ideal circumstances (being born to committed parents who stay faithful to one another would be a good start) is on the verge of being responsible for raising a human life is embarassing. The fact that her stepfather telling her her child’s not a puppy dog “freaks her out” says it all-she doesn’t have a clue. I really feel for that baby.
August 14th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Wow… she thought it wasn’t a big deal and now she’s having a baby… if her step dad told them it wasn’t a puppy dog I assumed they acted like it, and that’s very worrying for the baby.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:00 am
Reality “stars” always seem to reveal too much information. What next, which sexual position they used in getting pregnant?
I wish somethings were still considered private.
She does not seem mature enough to bring another life into this world.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Im sorry if I sound uneducated on this, but I have to ask all the women out there who have taken birth control…don’t you take one pill everyday, all month long? Shouldn’t it be habit to take a pill at the same time everyday…after breakfast or before bed or whatever?
“but there’s so many times I’ll forget to take my pill and I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I’ve done that several times and never really thought about it. It’s just so stupid.”
At least she got that last part right!
August 14th, 2009 at 10:06 am
She is nieve a little right now…yes…but I have no doubts that she will make a fantastic mother….I think Nicole Richie was in a far worse position when she announced her 1st pregnancy..now look at her! Although not everyone is the same, I think Kourtney will be just fine & that baby will be surrounded by so much love!! Now..let the bashing commence in 5..4..3..2…
August 14th, 2009 at 10:13 am
I think if you consistently can’t remember to take the pill daily that there are other types of birth control you can use that are more “constant.” Just a thought!
August 14th, 2009 at 10:15 am
She deserves a chance. Who knows, maybe she’ll surprise all of us? She’s not the first mother to mature with the birth of their first child.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:15 am
That is stupid but at least she admits it, I guess. If she can’t remember to take a pill everyday she should switch to Nuvaring or something else that you do not need to remember daily.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Kourtney.
Congratulations! I’m sure everything will be great. After all, your Mom will be there to help and she did a great job with you kids. Theres alot of love in your family to give to a new baby. I’m so thrilled for you. you’ll be a great Mommy. A note to Klohe. you will be a beautiful Auntie.
Love and Best Wishes to all.

I don’t know who this people are or why they are celebrities…but what I just read is shameful!
August 14th, 2009 at 10:21 am
So she has unprotected sex with her partners and she sometimes forgets her pill? That is REALLY SAFE and let’s spread the word to young girls out there who watch this tripe show that it is “NO BIG DEAL” to do this and that getting pregnant was “STUPID”..Well it seems to me like this chick “forgot” her pill on purpose for her show, her career to get attention to irritate her sisters and to keep her man. End scene.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Dear Kourtney:
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope the very healthiest pregnancy for you and your baby.
But, sister… Can we talk? I mean, really talk? First, about the birth control: There is a REASON the instructions tell you to take a missed pill as soon as you notice and that’s because its efficacy significantly reduces when your hormone levels dip from the missed pill. As you see… You’re pregnant.
Having missed this fact doesn’t mean you’ll be a bad or irresponsible mother, but this and your stepfather’s reaction – and your reaction to his reaction – do not bode well.
If you can’t take “tough talk” like “a baby isn’t a puppy dog” I hesitate to think how “freaked out” you’re going to be when the baby is projectile vomiting all over his/her carseat, with diarrhea shooting up the back of his/her diaper and no real idea what’s causing these symptoms. I mean, the day-in day-out responsibilities of a kid aren’t a joke. Not only will you be responsible for getting yourself together, but now there’s this little person who’ll need literally everything done for him/her for, like, 6 years. After that, s/he may dress her/himself satisfactoriliy, but there’s the breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, play group, nursery school, doctor’s visits, teething, colds, vaccination decisions… You see where I’m going with this, dear?
And what’s up with your relationship with Scott Disick? If I were you, apart from trying to figure out our personal relationship, I would just get an attorney and put down your expectations on paper. Based on the trajectory of your relationship thus far, I’m not sure you should rely on his word that he is going to “be there” and perhaps just take some preventative measures to protect the baby’s interests and your own. I’m just sayin’. It doesn’t have to be antagonistic at all, but your first responsibility is to the baby, not to Scott, not to yourself. If he can’t handle having his responsibilities spelled out legally, perhaps he’s not ready to have a kid in his life on a regular basis. And please don’t get married “for the sake of the baby.” Not to this guy, especially if it is clear he’s NOT READY. It’s far worse to tie up your life – financially, emotionally – with your child’s father if he’s not really planning to be there “forever.”
And what’s up with your “Kim’s jealous” statement? What are you, 12? (1) You shouldn’t be airing out family laundry in a public venue (2) you’re not making it any easier for her or your relationship with her by rubbing it in. Perhaps Kim thought she’d be a mother before you because she perceives herself as being more mature – maybe you should think about that. Frankly, I thought Kim WAS the oldest – because she DOES seem to be (marginally) more mature than you. You’ve apparently got about 4 months to grow up; I’d look into that if I were you. Drop all the big-sister/little-sister pettiness: You’re someone’s mom now, and this behavior is deeply embarrassing and unbecoming.
Again, I wish you all the best! I hope you haven’t suffered too much from morning sickness, etc., and that everything else is going accordingly. Good luck with the baby, your crazy family and your “freaking out.”
Best,
JJ
August 14th, 2009 at 10:28 am
At least her stepfather has enough sense about him to try and make her see what a big deal and responsiblity this is. It seems like everyone else is still in the fluffy-kittens-and-rainbows stage where responsiblity doesn’t enter into it.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:38 am
She sounds like she belongs on MTV’s “16 and Pregnant”…except some of the mom’s on that show actually come off as more mature than her. Ick…
August 14th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Wow, talk about TMI! When exactly did it become okay for celebrities to talk about periods and birth control?
Seriously, you don’t need to justify to the world why and how you got pregnant! keep some things to yourself!
She doesn’t seem very mature judging from this interview but hopefully she’ll be a great mom!
August 14th, 2009 at 10:48 am
hey elizabeth, what is more important? buying a crib that the baby will only use for a couple of years? no I’m pretty sure that picking out a baby’s name is way more important, that’s something that they will use everyday for the rest of his or her life!
August 14th, 2009 at 10:50 am
I think what happens a lot, and what I have seen on this site through the comments, is that people act as though they personally know a celebrity simply by the image they present. All we really know of her (this past week’s interviews excluded), is what was presented on her reality show. Now, imagine a camera came in and filmed a week’s worth of film, fights with family, stupid comments, silly outbursts included, and then cut it down to twenty-two minutes. I’m sure we’d all look wooooonderful. Also, I’ve seen her show and they try to keep it centered on Kim, that she’s the main character and the more mature of the sisters. Producers usually have a huge say in how the show is run and how people in it are portrayed. Who’s to say that they didn’t want Kim to be presented as mature and level-headed against her crazy, wild, immature sisters? The new show with Kourtney and Khloe may be be different, but the Keeping show is mostly trying to steer towards Kim (hence why the other two got their own show). Perhaps that is how the producers wanted to portray her? Perhaps that is how she really is? Who knows? I don’t, because I have never met her, so that is why I am not quick to make a judgement on a complete stranger. For anyone making these judgements, how would you feel if a complete stranger passed their judgements on you as a future mother after a brief interaction with you, or after a comment you made? I don’t think anyone would like it. I think people are judging her so harshly because she was careless with her birth control pills. However, if she hadn’t of made that statement and simply called this a “surprise” or an “uh-oh” baby, would everyone have reacted so harshly? I am going to give Kourtney the benefit of the doubt and say that she will be a great mother.
August 14th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I must say that Kourtney sounds much younger than a 30 year old. The whole point of taking birth control pills is to take them every day, the same time every day, if you miss one pill or two you can catch up but after that the whole effectiveness of the birth control pill is worthless and you throw the batch out.
Giving Kourtney the benefit of the doubt, I would assume that she did not taking missing a pill seriously because she was utilizing another form of birth control as a back up. Bruce Jenner is totally right. She needs to take this pregnancy seriously and grow up real quick.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:04 am
I think they’re having a boy(if they know the sex). She was on the wendy williams show today and Wendy gave her a pink bib that says “how you doIN” and Kourtney said “What if its a boy?…Boys can where pink” or something to that effect. She was also talking about continuing the reality show with the baby. I can’t tell if she was joking.
Like everyone has said she doesn’t sound like a 30 year old and I thought she was the youngest Kardashian. The only thing is its a big family, and I’m sure they’ll support her.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:10 am
I don’t know about in the US, but currently in the UK there is a big health drive to try and inform women about all the different types of birth control. There are 12 types, but most women really only know about 2 (the pill and condoms). Sadly, a lot of doctors will suggest the pill before other forms (although mine didn’t, she was really good and gave me information on other types should I wish to change, even phoned up a few weeks later to check she’d given me the info!). Yes Kourtney has been stupid in not realising that forgetting to take the pill does not protect you from pregnancy, and yes I’d agree that if she is that forgetful that another form of contraception would suit her better, but it could also be that she was simply not educated in other forms of birth control.
At least she’s admitted that she was stupid not to take her pill everyday.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:11 am
Sarah1116- I think most would agree that things like finding a crib, carseat, and many other necessary baby products as well as things like finding a good doctor and so much more needed for the safety and well being of your child take priority over a name. Yes, your baby does only use a crib for a short time as opposed to a name which is used for a lifetime but unlike other things, a name is not needed to keep your baby safe and healthy.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Lola – I agree with your post. Frankly I wish CBB would stop posting about reality stars. I’m already tired of seeing Kourtney and Kendra, and I will skip right past any and all posts in the future.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Mary, I think we are simply judging what Kourtney has stated during her interviews. I’ve never watched any of her reality shows. My remarks are solely on the basis of her interviews. Even if a non-famous person made questionable remarks during an interview, the public would have every right to comment. Are you stating that we need to know someone on a personal level in order to have an opinion about the things that person says publicly? I don’t think so! Unless Kourtney is completely lying to Ryan Seacrest about forgetting to take her pill and not thinking “it’s that big of a deal”, I don’t understand why I need to “know her” before forming an opinion.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Oh for the love of all that is good and holy! Your doctor tells you EXACTLY what to do IF you miss a pill the second they write you a Rx, on top of the freakin’ reading material provided! I’ve known teenagers that take better care of themselves than that. Bruce is ABSOLUTELY right! This is a child, not a puppy.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:27 am
“First and foremost choosing a name.” Are they serious? I hope she stops with the trashy reality show. I’ve tried to watch it and it just makes my stomach churn. I do wish her a HEALTHY pregnancy, and maybe, that should be her first and foremost thought as well. Bruce called that one right on the nose.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:30 am
If one parent’s last name is Kardashian and the other’s is Disick, is that really such a tough choice? Disick would be a cruel name to saddle a baby with.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:39 am
choosing a name might not be the most obvious thing to do, but i can see how it might make the situation a little more real. perhaps that is their thinking…rather than getting ready for an unexpected baby whose whole existence is kind of obscured/ unbelievable, they’d be getting ready for “amber” (or whatever)…
and while i am not the biggest fan of the kardashians, i can’t help but think at least part of this is an act (i hope). kourtney is the owner of three successful stores, and, for better or worse, been able to make her personal life a business.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Ha, you are all too funny! I thought I was the only one thinking she seemed very immature about this whole situation. I can’t believe she is totally embarrassing Kim by telling the world how pretty much, Kim was desperate to have a baby but that she beat her to it! I would hate to be Kim right now! As for Kourtney, I agree that she has given the public too much information. Did we really need to know HOW she became pregnant or WHY it happened? The only important thing, I guess if you can call it that, is that she IS prego, nothing else! I know all of these celebutaunts like to have their own life but I wished for once, they would realize that they have a young girl following and make every effort to portray a decent role model. I too, like everyone else, is sick of this family. I used to love Kim but she also seemed to have a say in any headlining news just to keep her name in there – talk about needy!
August 14th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
In disick the S is silent no?
August 14th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
My opinion of her is not based on her reality show, I have never seen it, I don’t even know who she is. But from this interview I can tell she is not very smart and she seems very immature.
What I find more telling in all these mistake pregnancies in Hollywood (Jude Law, Nicole Richie, Spears girls etc) is that none of these people practise safe sex. Aren’t they taught about STD’s in school???
August 14th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
for all of you people focusing on the first and foremost aspect of the post, let me point out that it is not in quotations, so we don’t know if she actually said that or if it was paraphrased or inferred. if any of you find a transcript of this interview then i stand corrected.
August 14th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Well there you go kids! Don’t want to end up pregnant you heard it from the spokes model herself….take your pill EVERYDAY or you too could end up pregnant!
I can almost guarentee that mommy and step daddy will be helping to raise this child cause from the looks of it she’s got a lot of growing up to do!
If you can’t be educated enough to know about BC and the proper way to take it how are you going to educate and raise a child?!
August 14th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
kate, I don’t know that there’s a transcript but she said it on his radio show. If you go on his site you can hear her say it. They even asked her about doubling up and she said she would forget a few days and just decided to wait the next month so she could start all over again or something like that. The interview is so TMI for me since I don’t know her. I hated hearing it and couldn’t finish but yep she did say it.
August 14th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Wow, I have never heard of a 30 year old grown woman having to hide her pregnant belly. Great “role model” for younger women. Don’t practice safe sex and skip your birth control pills. Her actions just seem soo juvenile. Thank God for grandparents and nannies.
August 14th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
It is so unfortunate that the message of practicing safe sex is being missed by so many. Simply taking birth control leaves a woman open to so many dangerous and deadly diseases. Hopefully, she realizes that having a baby is not something to take lightly and will actually be able to provide a stable, loving, and enriching environment for this child.
August 14th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Congrats to her!
I’m not surprised about missing pills (i have before )but if you can’t remember to take the pill, then you should obviously be using extra protection.
I’m sure her baby will be a blessing.
August 14th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
I will say congratulations to her, but having said that.. Thank goodness for her level-headed stepfather. He seems like the only clear thinking one in that entire family!
August 14th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
What is wrong with all of you people. Do you think that just because you are sitting behind your computer screen reading something that you have the RIGHT to completely judge someone that YOU don’t even know? Your not her friend or her family so don’t be so quick to judge her as a future parent or as a woman. It’s also really crass to critique her relationship with the father of her child. Don’t be so judgmental. Everyone is not always married and happy with a house and white picket fence when a pregnancy comes around. Nobody knows how to be a mother before it happens. There are all different types of mothers with different backgrounds and how they got pregnant, but just because she is in the “spotlight” you PEOPLE feel like you can judge. RIDICULOUS!! I would hate to see how you judge mothers in REAL LIFE!!!!
that being said. . . i think Kourtney is going to do great. She has a great family and she is financially stable. So good luck Kourtney.
August 14th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
I think she sounds like an excited soon to be mom. Before needing to buy any baby gear, women can think about names and there’s nothing with that. I know women who have settled on a name before they even conceive so what’s wrong with a five month pregnant woman thinking of names? I’m sure she really doesn’t think that the *most* important thing.
Congrats to her and I hope she has a wonderful pregnancy and easy birth.
August 14th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Ming, if Kourtney didn’t want to be “judged” why on earth would she air all of her personally business like that? There are many celebrities who prefer not to comment publicly about their pregnancies, family, or personal lives. After reading Kourtney’s comments, how are people supposed to respond? It’s just not realistic to pretend that everything she said is okay. I also don’t agree that you have to know someone personally in order to have an “opinion.” It does not matter if someone’s opinion is wrong or right. An opinion is just what it is, an opinion!
August 14th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Well she certainly isn’t the brightest crayon in the box, is she now? But at least she is able to realize how dumb she was being…
And Bruce Jenner seems to have such a good head on his shoulders. He is always the voice of reason on their show. Between him giving them a reality check about the baby not being a new puppy and a situation where he forced his 12-year-old daughter to leave a restaurant because he didn’t think she looked appropriate for her age, I can’t help but give him kudos.
I think any person can be a good parent if they have a strong support system, and the Kardashian/Jenner clan are making it no secret that this child is very much wanted and loved, so congratulations on your little blessing
oh, and in regards to choosing a name, Kourtney herself didn’t say “first and foremost: choosing a name!” the person writing the article did, so who knows if it really is at the top of her priority lost. But when a family shares a common letter in their name and a new baby is coming along, obviously it’s going to be asked whether or not they will keep up the tradition, just like when Josh Duggar was asked a billion times if he and his wife would carry on the J theme.
August 14th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Can you imagine if Kourtney’s father was still alive to see this? Wow. I certainly hope Kourtney gets her act together before her baby arrives.
August 14th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
And this is why people have unplanned pregnancies all the time: They don’t know how to use birth control correctly + then they are shocked when they become pregnant.
I like Bruce Jenner a lot, on the show-he seems like the only one with real common sense. As long as the baby is happy + healthy.
August 14th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
How old is this chick? I thought I read somewhere that she was in her 30s or close to it but she sounds like she’s about 12.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
hmmm…… is MING possibly related or even Kourtney herself? They sound pretty peeved!
August 14th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Okay Jamie Lynn Spears was 16 when she got pregnant, and she seems to be light years ahead of this chick when it comes to maturity. Say what you will about the Spears family, but at least Jamie Lynn never had to be reminded that the baby was not a puppy. Good luck to Bruce and Kris- I’ve got 10 bucks says grandma and grandpa are going to be doing more baby-raising pretty soon.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Less reality show on CBB please!
August 14th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I just hope her child doesn’t read all this when he/she is older. Sure would make me feel wanted and proud.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Jen DC….love it!
RE: taking the pill…yes you need to take it every day and not forget! There are other options if you can not remember. I hope all the young ladies out there are aware of this.
I thought Kim was the oldest and Kourtney was the youngest. I’ve only see the show a hand full of times but I did catch a scene between Kourtney and the boyfriend. I actually thought it was a first date of sorts then realized they had been together for quite some time. Not sure what that says about their relationship but good luck to them.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
How can you be five months pregnant and not know?????????
August 14th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I hope she is reading up on child care. It’s not easy to be a mom. But she does have her own mom to ‘lean on.’ I wish I had help when my kids were very little..
August 14th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
I don’t know who this woman is, but she sounds incredibly immature.
August 14th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Ming
This has NOTHING TO do with me being behind a screen. Assuming Kourtney has been engaging in sexual activity for a while she should know at 30 how to use birth control considering; she has had a pregnancy scare before and didn’t seem too happy about it. She’s hasn’t been a teen or a young adult for sometime now an age where immaturity and recklessness is more understandable and kinda expected. Home girl needs to get it together and stop talking about this life changing event so flippantly. I’m 10 years younger than her and even I see that her behavior is unexpected for someone her age who apparently is college educated.
August 14th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
If you have ever watched her on Keeping Up with the Kardashians you would know that she jokes around a lot. Everyone needs to calm down. She is very mature. She’s been with her boyfriend for a long time. I’m not going to judge her. The baby isn’t even here yet. Let’s just wait and see.
August 14th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Wow, what can you say to that?! I think the 60 comments above me said it pretty well. Oy!
August 14th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Yes, I admit I’ve watched Keeping Up with the Kardashians but what’s bothered me so much about this is she’s using her pregnancy for publicity for her new show. I mean is there any other reason she would hide her pregnancy for 5 months and then announce it less than a week before the premiere of her show. This woman is shameless.
August 14th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
gross. just gross.
August 14th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Oops! I forgot to take my birth control pill!
She sounds so dumb!

Actually she is now single. She said so herself that this child is her ex-boyfriend Scott (I believe) and she said it and sort of made a face. Looks to me like she really wishes in a way this never happened. But what’s done is done.

Ming when people make PUBLIC comments about their lives they’re pretty much asking for judgment.
Celebs should shut up and say nothing if they don’t want the world to judge them!
August 14th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
I can’t believe this woman is 30 years old. She sounds like she’s 15. Hopefully for her child’s sake, she will gain some maturity in the near future.
August 14th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
I think it’s fine to judge what we know of celebrities’ lives because what we “know” is generally manufactured or fake or put into the media machine for our consumption and judgment. It’s an opportunity to deride someone whom we don’t know, which gives us the space to be – I think – more empathetic toward those actually close to us, whose opinions and feelings matter. And – is Kourtney really “listening”? Doubtful. Should something someone who doesn’t know her hurt her feelings? No – that’d be even sillier than admitting that you can’t take your birth control properly at 30 years of age.
On top of that, what you put into the public has consequences. If she had never had an off-again on again relationship with Scott Disick and allowed it to be put on TV, we wouldn’t know. She could have been as private as she wanted to be, but she continually has made the choice to be on TV, to live the life she lives in the public eye, airing all her laundry – dirty, clean and that which would pass the sniff test. In that sense, she’s asked for our judgment. No one who doesn’t want to test boundaries gets on the radio and talks about how they had unprotected sex with a former boyfriend who cheated and ended up pregnant if they were not looking for (1) trouble or (2) validation.
And even if she were a “real girl” in my life, I would have had the same conversation with her – only 5 months ago. I would have made sure she was aware of all her options, and probably would have insisted that she keep someone’s toddler for a weekend to test it out. She needs a reality check, one that doesn’t come from her “show.”

Kourtney, Kourtney, Kourtney — you forget your pills and unprotected sex is no biggy!! Well, my friend, as your tummy gets “biggy.” Maybe you’ll mature & realize motherhood is the “biggy – est” job you’ll ever have. Good luck to you and your little one.
August 14th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Wow…I am the same age as this woman, actually a few months younger as I am not quite 30 and she really doesn’t get it, does she? Her stepfather pretty much nailed it. She’s in a relationship that is apparently unhealthy is out partying all of the time and is more concerned with how jealous her sisters are then things like the state of her relationship, raising this child, an income for the child protecting her child’s rights if this relationship goes belly up.
Here’s hoping she has great parents who can stand by her, as it seems she has no clue how a child changes your life.
August 14th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
First of all this is T.M.I. but she seems not to care. Second of all didn’t her baby’s daddy cheat on her? Yet she slept with him again without using a condom? The pill doesn’t protect against diseases. I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt but…
Third of all I think her mom and stepdad will end up raising the baby while Kourtney will worry about things like finding the cutest baby clothes to buy.
August 14th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
It is a little strange that she announces it now, right into the week/end that the show is going to air. She is 5 months along + it’s not that she didn’t know she was pregnant, its that she didn’t take her birth control seriously + figured, “Oh, whatever, no big deal”.
And frankly, anything I comment on, whether its here, or else where, is the same thing I would say to anybody I was friends with/knew personally if they were in certain situations, even as irresponsible as they may be.
I also think its a boy.
August 14th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
JenDC,
“And even if she were a “real girl” in my life, I would have had the same conversation with her – only 5 months ago. I would have made sure she was aware of all her options, and probably would have insisted that she keep someone’s toddler for a weekend to test it out. She needs a reality check, one that doesn’t come from her “show.””
when you say “options” I’m assuming you’re talking about abortion. Please leave that out of here, it’s a gossip site for crying out loud! FYI, basing a decision of that magnitute on a weekend with a toddler is HORRIBLY irresponsible and I can’t believe that people take something like that so lightly. Kourtney you should have just announced your pregnancy and kept your mouth shut, now all self riteous mommies feel they have the right to tell you what to do with your baby, so sad. Congrats to you and your fetus lol
August 14th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
OMG. Like, I can’t believe, like, she is pregnant. Like, I mean congrats, but like, wow. I hope she gets the baby, like, lots of clothes and stuff, because like, babies are fun to dress up and play with.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
A woman has about 30 years of fertility and since we aren’t perfect, sometimes we make a mistake with our birth control. Actually about 1 in 3 births in this country are from unplanned pregnancies. Also more than half of women in the U.S. have an unintended pregnancy in their lifetime. It’s ok Kourtney, it happens to a lot of people. It happened to me! You and the baby will be just fine. And yes, the name is very important, and I don’t think she is immature for thinking so.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Like, Oh My God Brianne…that was too funny! I laughed out loud when I read your comment….
August 14th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
I think her + Scott are back together because she said, “It’s my ex-boyfriend’s, now boyfriend’s” + then there was that comment about maybe getting married..etc.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I’m pretty sure her and scott got together again for the baby. In all the interviews I’ve seen, she’s seemed SO incredibly iffy and unsure about it. I think it just makes her look better to be with him.
She is immature. Lots of moms whether they want to admit it or not were somewhat to extremely immature prior to their baby arriving. With becoming a mom something changes with you and when dealing with your kid you become no nonsense. I’m still the same person; I still drop things, leave my keys in the fridge and lose one side of my socks, turn the laundry pink of time to time… But when it comes down to my child I’m punctual, organized, and clear-headed. Maybe that will happen with Kourtney. I ragged on her a little yesterday but I got to thinking and if she reads this it might really really bother her.
August 14th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
No idea who this girl is but WOW! she’s 30? I had my 4th child the year I turned 30, I don’t think I was this immature when I was 12! Forget the pill all the time? try something else! and by the way I wonder if she knows the pill doesn’t prevent STD’s? that’s comforting isn’t it?! Hopefully this baby will make her grow up though. Seriously if your child was the result of a missed pill or two why tell the world? what if they Goggle you in 15-20 years from now, I’m sure that will make him/her feel wanted! I hope she pulls a Nicole Ritchie and she proves everyoe wrong!
August 15th, 2009 at 12:33 am
What Jen DC said…then a MEH, NEXT!
August 15th, 2009 at 2:08 am
Anna- Do you know all of those people personally? If not, then you can’t possibly know whether or not they weren’t practicing safe sex at the time they concieved. For example, Jamie Lynn and Casey could have been using condoms, for all we know…but one failed, and, as a result, Maddie was concieved.
As for Nicole Richie…From what she and Joel have said, it doesn’t sound like either of her pregnancies was planned. However, it doesn’t sound the second one totally came out of left field. Joel explained a few months ago that they “let love plan our babies”, which makes me think that they just simply leaving when to have a second child up to God (or chance or fate if you’re not religious and prefer to say that instead of God).
With Britney, at least she and Kevin were married when they concieved and had both of their boys. In fact, from what Britney has said, I’m pretty sure that Sean Preston was planned (Jayden was a surprise, though. I remember reading an interview where Britney said that).
Anyway, I also want to point out that not everyone likes using condoms. Not only that, but some people are allergic to the latex in them (actually, latex allergies are pretty common, hence why doctors and dentists always ask if you’re allergic to latex before beginning an exam).
Bottomline: The only 100 percent effective method of birth control AND STD prevention is abstinence. If you don’t want to have kids or an STD, then DON’T do the deed (this is aimed at people who have multiple sex partners and/or are not in a commited relationship, by the way, not married couples! If you’re married, odds are you know whether or not your spouse has any STDs and thus whether or not safe sex needs to be practiced!)! It’s as simple as that!
Oh, and as for Kourtney….I agree with Mary and Ming. We really shouldn’t be making assumptions about the type of mother she’ll be from a couple reality shows and a few interviews! Nearly everyone thought Nicole Ritchie and Jamie Lynn Spears would be horrible moms….and they both proved everyone wrong!
August 15th, 2009 at 3:40 am
Why are so many forgetting to mention STI’s? She’ll survive having a baby. But what if she contatced a sexually transmitted diease? Unprotected sex can lead to a lot more than pregnancy. Please research how many women contract STI’s every year in this country.
August 15th, 2009 at 10:50 am
I won’t bash her for missing her pill. I’ve done it before so I won’t cast stones on her for that.
However the rest of her interview indicates that she’s still a very spoilt 11 year old. On the TV show she spoke about having her nanny drive her to Kim’s school to humiliate her in front of her class for wearing jeans that she and Kim SHARED when she wanted it. She told the story and laughed like she was still proud of herself for embarrassing her little sister in front of her peers. I couldn’t believe anyone could be so nasty at that young age, but her publicly rubbing Kim’s jealousy in her face now that they’re adults, over something as serious as motherhood, shows that Kourtney’s still that nasty 11-year-old. Yuck.
August 15th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Yet again, I agree with CelebBabyLover on all points. Even the birth control pill isn’t 100% effective. Even though K.K. probably should watch her statements, I think she’ll be a good mom. This happens all the time in reality. I bet a couple of bashing posters on here have missed taking the pill at times too.
However I agree with LisaR about the jeans story. How could one laugh at intentionally embarrsing their sibling? Whenever I think about past experiences when I embarrsed my siblings on purpose, I actually feel quite guilty
August 16th, 2009 at 12:27 am
LisaR- That DOES sound pretty nasty. However, as that was just ONE snippet of ONE interview, I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it came off in a completely different way than she meant it to, for example. In any case, my point is that it’s impossible to know what someone is like from just one interview and a couple reality shows (since, in most cases, “reality” shows, are anything but!).
Kourtney, if you’re reading this, I wish you the best of luck with your baby!
August 16th, 2009 at 12:31 am
Oh, and as far as CBB reporting on reality stars….I really don’t think it’s right to bash them for doing so. I mean, the title of the website is CELEBRITY Babies, so obviously we’re going to read about celebs on it, and that means ALL celebs, whether they be actors/actresses, muscians, atheletes, or reality stars.
Bottomline: If we don’t want to be reading about celebs, we don’t really belong on a CELEBRITY baby blog!
August 16th, 2009 at 7:46 am
to everyone who thinks she’s being to airheaded on being pregnant. i think anyone who has had a surprise pregnancy can admit that they did not totally understand what it was until you can actually see the bump and are confronted with the fact you are actually having a baby, and that it really starts dawning on you once the birth draws close. at least she’s honest about what happened and that cannot be said about a lot of people, celebrity or non-celebrity. i do not believe, when it comes down to the crunch, that K.K. really thinks of her baby as if its a new puppy but that this is the way she expresses herself and i think people shouldn’t be so judgmental. everyone has their own way of doing things and one way isn’t per definition better that another way.
i did a lot af nasty stuff to my siblings when i was young and i think the only healthy attitude towards that is being able to laugh about it together with your siblings instead of making a big deal out of stuff that happened years ago and wasn’t even that serious. this is life and ofcourse having a baby is a huge step, but i also think its important not to be completely obsessed and keep yourself grounded and ‘cleanheaded’, and not to add drama to everything. And i think K.K. is doing a good job at that.
August 16th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Lola: I couldn’t disagree with you more. THANK GOD there is finally a young, unmarried, and pregnant celeb admitting to her irresponsibility and that babies do NOT just fall out of the sky. I’m so sick of everyone not addressing the unprotected sex factor in “sursprise” reproduction. Kudos to Kourtney for being forthcoming about this. It’s about time!
August 16th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Silvermouse: Yeah, but it IS a hell of a lot more effective when used properly! Birth control of any kind (condoms; the pill; NuvaRing) do not work if you DON’T USE THEM! Kourtney is admitting that she didn’t.
August 17th, 2009 at 12:55 am
Patrice- Not quite. Kourtney has admitted that she sometimes forgot to take her pill, not that she NEVER took the pilL!
August 17th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Oh, and yes, I’m fully aware that missing even one birth control pill can result in pregnancy. I’m just pointing out that it’s not like Kourtney said she didn’t use birth control at all. She did…But unfourtnately was not very responsible about remembering to take her pills!
Anyway, Kourtney is not the first woman to have an unplanned pregnancy as a result of forgetting to take the BC pill, nor will she be the last.
August 17th, 2009 at 11:38 am
she jokes a lot in general, but I don’t get all the kourtney hate here. She is one of the nicer sisters and the family seems close, good luck to her. I think it’s a boy
August 18th, 2009 at 12:25 am
gianna- I agree. Some people just joke around a lot.
August 28th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Oh, CelebBabyLover, I’ve been reading your replies for quite some time now and I’ve just had enough. Your goody-two-shoes comments, always defending celebrities (even those who are clearly in the wrong) and being so repetitive and constantly contradicting people is getting very sickening. Maybe *gasp* not everyone is good and has good intentions and people really do act stupid and make mistakes, even celebrities. I notice you always post to make this kind of appeasing, Pollyanna comments, but when it comes to just saying that a celebrity kid is cute and moving on, you very rarely do it. Maybe you feel the need to constantly correct people and attract attention to yourself? It just sounds so fake and annoying.
That said, Kourtney sounds so dumb. I’m sorry, but it’s the truth. Poor baby.
September 27th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Come on ladies, any of us that has taken BC pills for very long know that missing one after taking them for a long time will not get you pregnant. I assume she has been on them a long time, so one missed pill won’t do it. She had to either stop taking them because she had no reason to take them. (I DOUBT) or she wanted to get this man back and knew this was the way to get him, at least for awhile.
