As Kourtney Kardashian-Barker prepares to welcome her fourth child — the first with her husband Travis Barker — she's not letting any negativity in. During a new interview, she said that she's well aware of the criticism that she's facing as an expectant mother at age 44, but she's not letting it get to her. In fact, she said that raising a child with Barker is a "dream come true." Kardashian has three children, Mason, Penelope and Reign, whom she shares with her ex, Scott Disick.
"Those comments don't affect me," she told Vanity Fair Italia. "To those who make them, I just say: how dare you question God's plan?"
She also spoke about her experience with IVF, saying that during the process, she felt that it wasn't right for her.
"I knew deep down that it wasn't the right thing," she explained. "And in fact, I kept telling Travis: If we're meant to have a baby, then it's just going to happen. And so it was: When we stopped forcing the process, then it happened."

Elsewhere in the interview, Kardashian spoke about how much she enjoys being a mother and being able to give her children memories that they'll have forever.
"I love experiencing life through their eyes and doing with them all the things I did as a child. Going to Disneyland or even just touching sand for the first time," she shared. "I love creating traditions and memories and making everyday things feel special and magical. Being able to do that now with Travis is a dream come true."
She even offered some insight into how this pregnancy differs from her previous three, saying she has an entirely new team of doctors and, consequently, a new set of rules to follow.
"Physically, I feel great. I like being pregnant. I'm obsessed with the idea of being pregnant!" she said. "But this time, unlike the other three, I was followed by a different group of doctors, who gave me many restrictions in the first months. No workouts, no Pilates, no caffeine, and no plane trips. Even no sex! I think all this caution made me a little afraid because, in the past, I never had to be so careful."
