Kourtney Kardashian has opened up about giving birth during an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and why it made her happy to share the experience with other women.

In 2009, the reality star, 42, gave birth to her first child, Mason, who she shares with her now ex, Scott Disick. The momentous moment was documented for the season four finale of KUWTK, which ended last year after 20 seasons. “The experience was so indescribable and life-changing, and I can’t believe he’s all mine,” she said on the show at the time, via People.

Kardashian has since reflected on the unique birthing experience in an interview with Variety, after she was asked whether she is happy she gave birth on camera. “Yeah, I am,” she said, adding that the video of Mason’s birth was still “[her and her family’s] footage,” as it was filmed by her sister, Khloé Kardashian, and Disick. “We shot that ourselves, so it was our footage from a handheld camera,” she said. “I didn’t have a microphone on, I didn’t have a lighting guy or a camera operator.

It was all shot by Khloé and Scott. ”While it’s been years since the episode aired, Kardashian said that people have approached her about it “multiple times,” detailing how it was “an example of a positive birth. ”“People have said to me multiple times: ‘I watched your episode of giving birth. ’ One person told me they watched it in their birthing class and it was an example of a positive birth,” she explained.
