Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian Reveals ‘Urgent Fetal Surgery

(People) – Kourtney Kardashian Barker is opening up about a scary moment in her pregnancy.

The Lemme founder, 44, and her Blink-182 drummer husband Travis Barker, 47, each shared social media posts on Wednesday addressing a recent “medical emergency” that has now been confirmed to be a pregnancy complication.

Alongside a black-and-white photo of their hands intertwined, the expectant mom wrote, “I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life.”

“I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through 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 urgent fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear,” she shared. “I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”

She concluded, “Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing. 🙏🏼🤍.”
