Maybe it’s that much-discussed pregnancy glow, or the knowledge that the finish line is near, or just really great genetics, but our December/January cover star Kourtney Kardashian’s recent nude photos for DuJour magazine are a reminder of how beautiful and amazing pregnancy is.  

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and mom tells the magazine she’s proud of her pregnant body. "I’m not embarrassed of my body," she tells DuJour. "I’m at my best when I’m pregnant. It’s such an amazing feeling, the transformation that your body goes through. There’s something about that that’s so empowering and beautiful and I just really embrace it." Kardashian says she posed for the photographs to capture this moment in her life in an artistic way. "It’s a wonderful thing to be able to show my children these photographs one day and say, ‘This was you inside,’" she tells the magazine.

Kardashian, soon to give birth to her third baby with long-time love Scott Disick, told Fit Pregnancy she loves being pregnant, despite the nausea and tiredness. "I feel comfortable with how I look and feel," she says. "I find a pregnant body to be beautiful and an incredible reminder of what a woman’s body is made to do."
