Kourtney Kardashian Shares Horrific Water Birth Experience, Says “It’s Not For Me”

Kourtney Kardashian initially wanted to welcome daughter Penelope Scotland Disick into the world via an at-home water birth!

However, father Scott Disick, wasn't too thrilled with the idea."I don't want to be thinking that kid is coming out of that little secret place that I like to go to when I'm lonely night. I want to think of it as my little playground," joked Disick. "But after talking with the team of specialists, he began to understand Kourtney's interest in the experience. "I'll be honest, I thought this whole thing was a little bit crazy until I heard all this. But it does make sense. If people could have kids in caves hundreds and hundreds of years ago, why not do it at your house?"

After enlisting the help of California-based South Coast midwifery, which arranged for her to  witness an at-home water birth, the at the time pregnant Kardashian- all but ran to the nearest exit. The thing that scared her the most were the screams. "It's just very intense and scary those screams of pain are terrifying," Kourtney said. "Tortuous screams that will stay with me for the rest of my life."

Immediately after the experience Kourtney sought comfort and reassurance from sister Khloe. "I just don't think that a water birth is what I want to do now. Even though I think the experience at home would be so amazing -- when it's your child's life that is involved -- I just don't think I would take that risk," she explained. "After witnessing this amazing water birth I have decided that it's not for me. I just know how peaceful my birth experience was, that I don't want to change it for the world."

The entire family was present during the birth of Penelope at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Grandmother Kris Jenner said it was an "easy" delivery.
