Kourtney Kardashian discusses her emergency fetal surgery on ‘The Kardashians’

Kourtney Kardashian opened up about her experience undergoing an emergency fetal surgery while she was still pregnant during the premiere of the fifth season of “The Kardashians”.

31 weeks pregnant with Rocky Thirteen, the child from her relationship with her husband Travis Barker, Kourtney revealed that during an ultrasound performed by a specialist, a rare condition was detected.

This complication was not related to the age of the socialite, 44 at the time, or any ‘fault’ of hers, but due to the severity of the situation, an urgent surgery on the baby while still in the womb was necessary, which forced Kardashian to remain on complete bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy.

At the time, Travis Barker interrupted his tour with the band Blink-182, where he is the drummer, to stay by Kourtney’s side. The baby, Rocky, was born healthy in November 2023, but to this day, Kardashian has not revealed what the diagnosis was.

According to the businesswoman, the entire situation was ‘scary’ and ‘stressful’, but she is grateful that everything turned out well. “The diagnosis saved everything. I feel very grateful for, you know, how everything happened and for the doctors who really helped make the best decisions that really saved our baby,” she said during the show.
