Last year, Kourtney Kardashian experienced a complication during her pregnancy with her son Rocky, for which she had to undergo emergency surgeryof which no details were revealed at that time until now.
This week, in the premiere of the fifth season of The Kardashians in which her pregnancy was documented, Kourtney shared details of the emergency surgery she underwent last year to save her baby’s lifethe result of her relationship with Travis Barker.
Kourtney described the experience as terrifying. The emergency occurred just as her husband, Blink-182’s drummer, was going on tour with the band. At that time, the doctor did an ultrasound and saw something that worried him.
“The doctor who comes to the house to do the ultrasound is a very detailed and thorough doctor when looking for anything,” he explained. “And something caught his attention, so he wanted me to see a couple of specialists and I had to have fetal surgery, which was terrifying,” he added.
The eldest Kardashian sister explained that the surgery left a hole in her amniotic sac, so she had to follow strict care. “Now I’m on bed rest most of the time because there is a hole in the amniotic sac from the surgery,” Kardashian mentioned in the reality show episode that documented her recovery. “I can’t drive, I can’t stand for more than 20 minutes. I can’t really leave the house,” she added.
Kourtney expressed her gratitude to the doctors who treated her during the process. “I feel so grateful for how everything turned out and for the doctors who really helped make the best decisions that really saved our baby,” she said.
The episode of the new season of the show also showed Kourtney’s recovery during her pregnancy, of which she was much more alert after the surgery. “If I don’t feel movement for a few minutes, I start shaking it to make sure everything is okay,” she said.
In September, Kourtney shared through her Instagram account that she had a medical emergency that forced her to undergo emergency fetal surgery..
In the publication Kourtney opened her heart about the terrifying experience who lived and thanked Travis and his mother, Kris Jenner, who accompanied her in that difficult moment.
“I will be eternally grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” she began. “I am eternally grateful to my husband, who came running to my side while he was on tour, to be with me in the hospital and take care of me. He is my rock. And to my mother, thank you for holding my hand through all of this,” she continued.
“As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into emergency fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can understand that feeling of fear. Now I understand and respect mothers who have had to fight for their babies during pregnancy much more. Praise God. Leaving the hospital with my son in my belly and safe was a true blessing,” he concluded his message.
The couple, who married last year in Italy, confirmed that they were expecting a child together with an emotional video where she was seen dressed in black, while smiling and jumping during a Blink 182 show in Los Angeles holding a sign with large black letters that said: “Travis I’m pregnant!”
