In a heart-wrenching moment during an episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian opened up about the harrowing experience she endured during her pregnancy with baby Rocky, shedding light on the emergency fetal surgery that ultimately saved her son’s life. With candid honesty, Kourtney shared the intimate details of the journey that led to the miraculous arrival of her newborn son.
The ordeal began when Kourtney and husband Travis Barker scheduled a routine scan at home, eager to share the joyous moment with their children. Little did they know, this appointment would set off a chain of events that would forever alter their lives. As Kourtney recounted, the high-risk doctor conducting the scan detected something amiss, prompting further evaluation by specialists.
“The doctor…wanted me to see a couple specialists,” Kourtney revealed, recounting the pivotal moment that set the stage for what was to come.
Following a series of consultations, Kourtney received the devastating news that her unborn baby required immediate intervention. The urgency of the situation left Kourtney feeling overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. “It was terrifying,” she admitted, reflecting on the stress of facing an unknown medical crisis while carrying her precious child.
Although Kourtney did not disclose the specifics of the baby’s condition, she emphasized the rapidity with which the situation unfolded. “The timing of it was miraculous…My doctor’s like, ‘There’s nothing that you did wrong. It’s just a super rare thing that happened,’” she shared, highlighting the inexplicable nature of the ordeal.
Travis, who was on tour in Europe at the time, faced his own challenges as he grappled with the distance and technological barriers that separated him from his wife during this critical moment. “The thing that was awful was his WiFi was broken on the plane,” Kourtney recounted, underscoring the anguish of navigating the crisis without her partner by her side.
Despite the obstacles, Kourtney bravely underwent the emergency surgery, with her indomitable spirit guiding her through the ordeal. “There’s some superpower that I have…in emergency situations, I get really calm,” she revealed, reflecting on her ability to find strength in the face of adversity.
Following the successful surgery, Kourtney embraced a period of rest and recovery, prioritizing the well-being of her unborn child above all else. “There’s a hole in the amniotic sac from where they had to go into the surgery,” she explained, detailing the precautions she took to safeguard her baby’s health in the final months of her pregnancy.
Despite the trauma of the experience, Kourtney and Travis remained steadfast in their optimism and gratitude. “I just feel so grateful…This is a miracle and we’re just going to be super positive,” Kourtney affirmed, expressing her unwavering faith in the miraculous journey that brought baby Rocky into their lives.
