Kourtney, who gave birth six weeks ago, wasn't quite as relaxed when her son Mason, now two, was born.
Back then she went on a full-on health and fitness kick so that she could get in shape for a bikini shoot - and lost 33lbs (2st, 3lbs) in just three months. But she pushed herself so hard that she fainted after a run on the beach.
At the time she said: "I'm so embarrassed that I punished my body for a photo shoot. I've been obsessing about this weight thing a little too much."
This time round, Kourtney is taking her time - and, although she's eating healthily, she's not prepared to deprive herself.
She told US Weekly: "I gained nearly 45 pounds. I'm 5 feet tall, so that's a lot."
She added that she's 'not really' thinking about losing the weight just yet but said: "While I'm here around the house, I just eat healthily."
She also told the magazine that she had a 'really easy' delivery and pulled her daughter out herself - just like she did with Mason.
She explained: "I did! She was coming out, and I was thinking, I should pull her. With Mason, I had no idea I was going to do that. This time, I thought, this is what I'm supposed to do."
There said that there's even a chance that Penelope's arrival might feature in the new series of Keeping Up with the Kardashians as her partner, Scott Disick, recorded some of it on his iPad!
Celeb mums who raced to lose the baby weight
- Myleene Klass<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>two months</p> <p> We loved Myleene for keeping it real during her nine months with second baby, <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/04/01/first-pic-myleene-klass-shows-off-new-baby-hero/" target="_blank">Hero</a> (who else could pull off a <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/02/23/pregnant-myleene-klass-has-a-nose-bleed/" target="_blank">parka, skin-tight dress and nose bleed at eight months pregnant</a> – case in point piccie on the left?), but she was ready for her close-up on the red carpet just eight weeks after giving birth. Here’s her zero-waist post-baby body unveil. In a ball gown. Natch .</p>
- Beyonce<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after….</strong>two months</p> <p> Superstar <em>Beyoncé </em>glowed throughout her nine months, and despite <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/09/08/did-beyonce-fake-her-baby-bump/" target="_blank">those fake bump rumours</a>,had a pretty big tummy by the end of her pregnancy. She first emerged back on the red carpet scene two months after <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/01/08/beyonce-has-baby-girl-ivy-blue-carter-with-husband-jay-z/" target="_blank">giving birth</a>, flaunting her figure in this blue frock. The new mum was also back in action on stage after four months, showing off her slim line look in a sparkly showgirl outfit.</p>
- Peaches Geldof<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>one month</p> <p> She was a (very trendy) stick insect before pregnancy, and guess what, Peaches appears not to have put on an ounce of weight during her nine months with <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/04/21/peaches-geldof-has-given-birth-to-son/" target="_blank">baby Astala</a> either. She was out with her <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/05/16/peaches-geldof-takes-tiny-baby-astala-to-the-park/" target="_blank">super-slimness on show</a> in the park a few weeks after giving birth, and showed off her red-carpet readiness after eight weeks in this silver stunner.</p>
- Una Healy<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after… </strong>two months</p> <p> Una was spotted out and about with baby <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/03/13/saturdays-star-una-healy-gives-birth-to-first-baby-ben-foden/" target="_blank">Aoife </a>two weeks after giving birth, looking gorgeous but curvy in a <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/03/29/una-healy-debuts-baby-aoife-belle-in-the-spring-sunshine/" target="_blank">red summer dress</a>. Fast-forward another month and a half and she strutted through Heathrow in these skinny jeans and clingy vest, showing off her flat tum. Still, she does insist she’s ‘very squidgy’ underneath. Riiiight…</p>
- Danielle Lloyd<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>three months</p> <p> Compared with some famous faces, Danielle took her time losing the baby weight after her second son Harry was born. The <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/07/26/danielle-lloyd-tweets-first-picture-of-her-premature-baby-harry/" target="_blank">little boy was premature,</a> and Danielle was regularly spotted dashing in and out of hospital, with more things to worry about than her waistline. She then unveiled her slim line look at a party in October, three months after giving birth, in this sexy satin number.</p>
- Heidi Klum<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>five weeks</p> <p> Here’s Heidi with one of the biggest bumps in the world. Here she is again five weeks later. She walked the runway (in a Victoria’s Secret show no less!) just over a month after giving birth to daughter Lou. She said at the time she hoped to shed another 20lb, and guess what? She did it…</p>
- Victoria Beckham<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>nine weeks</p> <p> Despite Harper being baby number four, Posh was never going to have much baby bulge to beat. But she managed a bonkers post-baby slim down even by her standards. One minute she was hiding <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/06/29/victoria-beckhams-pregnancy/" target="_blank">The Tiniest Bump in the World under a whole heap of designer black</a>, and the next, she was papped dashing into her car in a teeny-tiny dress just two weeks after giving birth. She then went on to flaunt her figure in <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/09/16/victoria-beckham-steps-out-in-her-highest-post-baby-heels-to-dat/" target="_blank">countless frocks and sky-high shoes</a> as she tottered around clutching new baby Harper.</p>
- Miranda Kerr<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>three months</p> <p> She’s a model, she did extremely quickly. Pretty much enough said on the Miranda Kerr front. She posed just as she was ready-to-pop on the cover of Vogue, and 12 weeks after giving birth to baby Flynn, she hit the beach in a bikini for a photo shoot with taut EVERYTHING on show, despite Flynn weighing 10lb at birth!</p>
- Angelina Jolie<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>three months</p> <p> Despite having twins, Ange showed off her killer bod three months after giving birth, with an appearance on the red carpet in a figure-hugging black number. Her twins’ birth was surrounded in secrecy, and she was hidden away from the cameras for the three months before this big reveal. Wonder why…</p>
- Megan Fox<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny...</strong>within hours (apparently!)</p> <p> Megan ruined her chances of making any mum mates when she claimed she <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2013/01/15/megan-fox-claims-she-lost-all-her-baby-weight-hours-after-giving-birth-son-noah/" target="_blank">lost all her baby weight within hours of giving birth to son, Noah.</a> The American actress told reporters she walked out of hospital back to her pre-baby size!</p> <p> </p>
- Michelle Heaton<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>two months</p> <p> Before stepping out in this stunning red number, Michelle had kept quite a low profile on the celeb scene, covering up in loose tops when she was out and about, and not courting the press. She chose the Tesco Mum of the Year Awards to show off her post-<a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/01/12/michelle-heaton-gives-birth-to-first-baby/" target="_blank">baby</a> bod, rocking this red frock for the cameras. Of course she’s now posed in a bikini for Closer magazine (standard) despite claiming she has another half a stone to lose, which begs the question: from where?!</p>
- Amanda Holden<p> <strong>Stepped out skinny after…</strong>two weeks</p> <p> Her daughter Hollie’s <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/02/26/amanda-holden-tells-how-her-heart-stopped-beating-for-40-seconds-traumatic-birth-hollie-rose/" target="_blank">dramatic arrival</a> cut short her judging duties on Britain’s Got Talent, but Amanda wasn’t going to let a <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2012/02/06/amanda-holden-releases-first-pictures-of-baby-hollie-rose/" target="_blank">near-death experience</a> stop her getting back to the day job. She rocked up to more auditions two weeks after giving birth in shorts and heels!</p>
