Kourtney Kardashian's family had a "tough time" accepting she was having a baby with Scott Disick.

The 30-year-old star announced she was pregnant in August. At the time she was not with her on/off boyfriend Scott, but the pair have since reunited.

Her family initially found it hard to accept she was settling down with Scott as their split had been so acrimonious.

Kourtney's sister Kim Kardashian told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "When Scott came back into our lives, it was like Kourtney was asking us to forgive and forget everything she'd said about him. We were really confused. We had to readjust our feelings about him, and sometimes we had a tough time with it."

She added the family felt Scott was not taking his responsibilities as seriously as he should have. They felt he was more interested in partying with his pals than looking after Kourtney, but have been impressed with the way he has changed.

Kourtney revealed: "It was hard. There was so much negative energy. But this is the father of my baby - I needed everyone to just get over it."

Khloe added: "He just started trying so much harder. He put the crib together - no one asked him to. He's not a manual labour kind of guy, but for him to put the crib and changing table together meant so much to Kourtney."

Scott admits he has not always behaved in the best way towards Kourtney. He is pleased his relationship with her family is back on track, and can't wait for the baby's arrival next month. "I was a bit young when I met Kourtney. Now I know that I've grown as a person. I'm much more productive with my time and my life. Kourtney's family knows I've changed. They know I treat her well and that I'm here for her in every way. Now the trust is all there," he said.
