Kourtney Kardashian recently shared details about the emergency fetal surgery she had to undergo while expecting her first baby with husband Travis Barker. In the Season 5 premiere of “The Kardashians,” she described the terrifying incident that occurred two months before Rocky was born. The high-risk doctor who was conducting a scan at their home noticed something concerning, prompting Kourtney to see specialists. Barker, who was on tour with Blink-182 at the time, quickly rushed back to California to be with her during the emergency, although technical issues on his flight prevented them from staying in touch.
Kardashian had to undergo the surgery without Barker present because it needed to be done immediately. The founder of Lemme, a brand of gummy supplements, revealed that her mother accompanied her to the hospital, and Barker arrived as soon as he landed. Following the surgery, Kourtney had to take it easy for the next few months to heal, as there was a hole in the amniotic sac from the procedure. She expressed her gratitude for the medical team that saved her baby, calling the timing of the surgery miraculous and praising the doctors for making the best decisions to ensure their baby’s safety.
The reality star, who is also a mother to Mason, Penelope, and Reign with ex Scott Disick, and Barker, who has two children from a previous marriage, shared their gratitude for their baby’s safe delivery. Kourtney referred to the experience as a miraculous event and emphasized how grateful she is that everything played out well. She also talked about the difficulties that came with the surgery, including restrictions on activities like driving and standing for more than 20 minutes, forcing her to stay inside the house. Kardashian lauded the strength of mothers who have had to fight for their babies’ well-being during pregnancy, acknowledging the fear and uncertainty that come with such situations.
In an emotional Instagram post in September, Kourtney opened up about her experiences with the emergency surgery and the overwhelming fear it had brought her. She expressed her newfound understanding and respect for mothers who have had to navigate similar challenges during pregnancy, highlighting the strength and resilience required to overcome such obstacles. Kourtney also thanked God for blessing her with a healthy baby boy after the successful surgery, emphasizing the importance of leaving the hospital with her baby safe in her tummy. Her candid and heartfelt post resonated with many fans who appreciated her vulnerability and honesty about her journey to motherhood.
The episode of “The Kardashians” that aired recently provided viewers with an inside look into Kourtney’s pregnancy journey and the challenges she faced with the emergency surgery. The show depicted the support she received from her loved ones, especially Barker, who made every effort to be by her side during the difficult time. Kourtney’s vulnerability and authenticity in sharing her story allowed fans to connect with her on a deeper level, inspiring others who may have gone through similar experiences to seek strength and hope in challenging times. As the couple navigated the uncertainty of the situation, they emerged stronger together, grateful for the outcome and the opportunity to welcome their baby boy with love and gratitude.
