Now that Kourtney Kardashian is five months postpartum after the birth of her son, Rocky, with husband Travis Barker, she's opening up about the changes her body's been going through during this time. After sharing a beach photo on Instagram, Kourt shared an emotional message to fellow new moms out there who might be struggling with all of the adjustments they've had to make to the way they feel about their bodies, both during pregnancy and after.

Kourtney shared photos from a tropical vacation over the weekend.
In the pictures, Kourtney is wearing a black bikini while she takes a dip in the ocean, and she's smiling from ear to ear in the sunshine.
She even cracked a joke that Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans will recognize in her caption: "My diamond earring came off in the ocean and it's gone."
Sharing the photos on her Instagram Stories, she got a bit more serious.
Addressing her message to "new mommies," Kourtney reminded her followers that "your body is beautiful at all stages," even during what can be a difficult postpartum time period. She admitted that even she struggles with it sometimes.
"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," she wrote.
She went on to talk about the importance of being kind to yourself.
She continued, "I try to be kind to myself as my body finds a new normal. The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different isn’t realistic. Life is beautiful, you are beautiful. Just a little reminder (for me too)."

Kourtney has been open about her postpartum experience.
She hasn't tried to shy away from what it's like to be a new mom (for the fourth time) — or the ways that her body has changed in the process.
Back in March, fans praised Kourtney for sharing unedited photos of her body after giving birth to Rocky, especially where this one of her pumping is concerned.
Adjusting to new stages and phases of life is never easy.
But so far, Kourtney seems to be taking all of the changes in stride — and there's no doubt that her openness will help another mom out there who needs the reminder to be kind to herself.
Besides, Kourtney looks amazing. Hopefully, she knows that!
