Kourtney Kardashian Undergoes ‘Urgent Fetal Surgery’

Kourtney Kardashian has undergone urgent surgery following a pregnancy complication.

“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 [Kris Jenner], thank you for holding my hand through this.”

She added that pregnancy was different as she 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. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”

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

Moments later, her husband Travis Barker, shared an update. 

“God is great. I flew home for a life-threatening emergency surgery for our baby that I’m so grateful went well. I want to say thank you for all the support.”

This health update comes less than a week after Travis abruptly left tour early for an "urgent family matter.”

“Travis has had to return home to the States. The Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin shows are being postponed. More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available.”

Hours before the news broke, Travis shared pictures from a "Prayer Room." He had been on tour with bandmates Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge since May. He noted that the tour would resume on Friday, September 8th.

Kourtney had attended many of the band's early concerts, but didn't go to every show considering her late-term pregnancy.

“Kourtney would love to be on the road the entire time Travis is touring but being several months pregnant, that’s just not realistic. So when he’s away and they’re not able to be together, they text and FaceTime constantly.”

“Kourtney is making sure she takes really good care of herself, so she’s playing it safe. And even though he’s not always by her side, she has plenty of support from her family and especially her kids.
