In the article, the influencer, who has already had three children, Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, eight, shared from her relationship with Scott Disick, 40, what helped her during her current pregnancy.
The mother-to-be said that drinking lemon water helped her reduce nausea from morning sickness.
Citrus really helped with nausea. I’d have ice water with lemon, it saved me,’ she admitted.
“I’d keep it in a big HydroFlask and enjoy it all day long.” I also had a metallic taste in my mouth, which is common in the first trimester, and the lemon water helped with that too.”
She also shared that staying full was a good way to combat the nausea, sharing some of the foods she ate, including baked potatoes, bagels, tangerines, and lime popsicles.
Kourtney also advised eating at home as much as possible, promoting the book “The Whole Nine Months” by Dr. Jennifer Lang, which offers a “Week-by-Week Pregnancy Nutrition Guide for a Healthy Start.”
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum advised her pregnant followers to avoid radiation as much as possible and offered links to the products she used, including a belly blanket.
“I use this blanket at home when using Zooms, editing episodes, or doing other work from my computer. Even if I’m just on my phone, I use it,” she said.
Drummer boy: Kourtney, 44, and husband Travis Barker, 47, discovered they had a ‘little drummer boy’ at an elaborate gender reveal party in late June
Carbs: In an article for Poosh, Kourtney said she got through the first trimester of her pregnancy using lemon water to combat the nausea of morning sickness, and healthy carbs like baked potatoes, bagels, and tangerines
She also offered links to stickers designed to reduce the phone’s radiation, as well as an EMF radiation protection case.
Kourtney may be acting too cautiously. The US Food and Drug Administration reported, “The body of scientific evidence has not associated exposure to radio frequency energy from cell phone use with health problems at or below the FCC’s established radio frequency exposure limits.”
Kourtney said gentle exercise was important.
“My doctor only allowed me to walk, so I walked for 30 minutes twice a day,” she said. The founder of Lemme also followed her lymphatic drainage therapist’s advice and elevated her legs for 20 minutes a day.
The Poosh article stated that Kourtney was grounded during her first trimester for taking flights, but when she flies or drives for more than an hour, the star relies on compression stockings to reduce swelling.
Self-care: Kourtney said she took care of herself by walking for 30 minutes twice a day and putting her feet up for 20 minutes a day. She also relied on compression stockings to reduce swelling

As for cravings, Kourtney said she was most satisfied with carbs, and offered a coconut pudding recipe as a must-have dish.
“I’ve always been obsessed with carbs in the first trimester,” she admitted.
My doctors say, “Your baby is a carb monster at that point, which is exactly what they crave.” So you can rely on your desires, but try to make healthier choices with them.’
