Kim Kardashian feels more confident

Kim Kardashian is 'finally feeling great' about her pregnancy.

The 32-year-old beauty, who is set to give birth to her first child in early July with her boyfriend of one year Kanye West, is having fun showing off her baby bump and feels more confident now than at the beginning of her pregnancy.

The reality star's sister Khloe Kardashian, 28, told E! News: 'She's really great, I think she's finally feeling great about her pregnancy.

'There's an awkward time [when] you're not really showing and you don't feel like your old self. So now that her bump is alive and in full effect, she's having fun showing it off!'

Kim previously brushed off criticism of her maternity wardrobe and was forced to hit back after being called 'fat'.

But according to UsMagazine.com, the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star no longer cares what people think of her style or weight.

An insider said: 'In the beginning, all the comments really hurt her feelings. She cried a lot and was down on herself. [But now,] Kim's choosing not to let them affect her.'

A string of female stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Helena Christensen, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Molly Sims have defended Kim recently.

Gwyneth said: 'I think that women should support each other, especially through pregnancy, it's a difficult time and I think Kim Kardashian looks absolutely beautiful.

'And we're supposed to gain weight when pregnant -- that's how God intended it.'
