Kim Kardashian says she was `joking` when she advised that pregnant women should hide their bodies in `a big blanket`.

She caused a stir earlier this week by claiming pregnant women should `never leave the house` and hide their bodies in a `huge blanket`.

But Kim has now taken to Twitter to defend her comments, insisting that she was being "sarcastic" with her tongue-in-cheek maternity recommendations, reports mirror.co.in.

She wrote: `I guess you can't be sarcastic when doing interviews! I was asked about tips on pregnancy style.....

`I jokingly said pregnant woman should hide/stay in if they looked like I did lol. I said ask Kourt her tips bc she has the best preg style.`

`I really should start video taping the interviews I do & post on my website so u can see the laughs & how it's really said,` she wrote.
