Khloe Kardashian finally publicly confirmed her pregnancy in late December, and now she’s making her first talk show appearance since then.
Khloe, who is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Tristan Thompson, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday, where she opened up about being a mom-to-be and keeping things under wraps. “At the beginning, the first trimester is the worst and no one knows you’re pregnant yet and you feel the most uncomfortable,” Khloe said. “I think once people know you’re pregnant, you get all the excuses. Hopefully I look pregnant, not just fat. It’s hard for me to breathe right now.”

And there’s a good reason for that: According to Khloe, “the baby is on all my organs so I get out of breath just from walking.” Khloe, who wore a tight white dress on the show, also said she plans to avoid wearing maternity clothes “as long as possible.” She also said she definitely plans to find out the gender of the baby—though she doesn't know it yet.
Khloe announced her pregnancy on Dec. 20 on Instagram with a closeup shot of her bump, cradled by her and Tristan’s hands. “My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby!” she captioned the shot. “I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient. I still at times can't believe that our love created life!”

Khloe told Ellen that she decided to make the announcement on Instagram because, “I just wanted to do something myself and write something that was heartfelt for me. I’ve wanted to have a baby for so long it’s just the perfect timing. God always has a plan and I just wanted to do it on my time and when I felt comfortable to do so.”
Tristan is already a father to Prince Oliver, 1, and Khloe has mentioned what an amazing dad he is. “He’s so great just during pregnancy and he makes me more excited too. I’m excited,” she said. However, she added, Tristan has been "milking” her pregnancy “for all he can,” especially by making food requests. “Mainly Jamaican food, it’s just an excuse,” she said. “He loves chocolate chip cookies. Like bundles of them.”

Khloe says that she wants to marry Tristan one day, but she’s not in a rush. “As you know I’ve rushed quite a few things before,” she said, referencing her married to her ex Lamar Odom, who she married just a month after they met. “Right now, I’m so loving the place I’m in and very happy with how things are going. We talk about it for sure [but] what’s meant to be will be.”
