Kourtney Kardashian proudly displayed her scar from her emergency fetal surgery during a recent maternity shoot. The reality star posed in her Boohoo collection, showcasing her bare belly in a crop top and unbuttoned skirt while opening up about her surgery experience on her family’s Hulu show. Kardashian described the scar as a mark left from the surgery that had been performed on her amniotic sac, likening herself to a fragile egg.
Although the scar was visible in the footage of the maternity shoot, it appeared to have been edited out of the final photos that Kardashian shared on Instagram in October 2023. The photos were part of a promotion for her Boohoo collaboration, which garnered attention and controversy. Following her hospitalization and surgery, Kardashian publicly spoke about the fear and uncertainty she faced during that time, expressing her newfound respect for mothers who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.
In a touching Instagram post, Kardashian shared her gratitude for the safe delivery of her baby boy after the traumatic procedure. She expressed her appreciation for the blessing of leaving the hospital with her baby in her womb and highlighted the strength and resilience of mothers in similar situations. The reality star further elaborated on the details of the surgery in the Season 5 premiere of her family’s show, emphasizing the rare and unexpected nature of the complication she experienced.
Kardashian clarified that the procedure was necessary following concerns raised during an ultrasound, leading to restrictions on her daily activities such as driving and standing for extended periods. Despite the challenges she faced, Kardashian welcomed her first child with Travis Barker, named Rocky, just two months after the surgery. The couple, who have yet to share photos of Rocky’s face on social media since his birth, also co-parent with their respective exes and maintain close relationships with their older children.
With three children from her previous relationship with Scott Disick and Barker’s two children with his ex-wife, the blended family dynamic adds complexity to their lives as parents. Through her openness about her surgery experience and recovery, Kardashian continues to inspire and connect with her followers, shedding light on the realities of motherhood and the challenges that can arise unexpectedly. Despite the difficulties she faced, Kardashian remains grateful for the safe delivery of her baby boy and the support of her partner and family throughout the journey.
