Kourtney Kardashian expressed her gratitude to the doctors who saved her and Travis Barker’s baby.

Kourtney Kardashian, who is currently expecting her first child with her new husband, Travis Barker, the drummer of Blink-182, shared on Wednesday that she is in the process of recovering from emergency fetal surgery. Given the timing of her initial pregnancy evaluation, Kardashian is approximately 7-8 months into her pregnancy.

She took to Instagram to express her feelings, saying, “Having had three relatively uncomplicated pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the anxiety and urgency of undergoing emergency fetal surgery.” Kardashian went on to express her deep gratitude to her exceptional medical team for preserving her baby’s life, acknowledging that the fear she experienced is hard to grasp for those who haven’t been through a similar situation. She also expressed newfound respect for mothers who have had to fight for their babies’ well-being during pregnancy. This revelation sheds light on the reason behind Barker’s recent announcement of the postponement of his band’s European tour dates.
