Kourtney Kardashian is overjoyed after going through a terrifying medical problem while pregnant
“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,” shewroteon her Instagram page on Wednesday, next to a black and white photo of her hand holding husband Travis Barker’s in what appears to be a hospital bed.
She continued, “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.”
“I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” she wrote.
The drummer for the band Blink-182, Barker, and Kardashian are expecting their first child together. She also shares three kids with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, and Barker is the father of two of her kids from a prior relationship as well as their stepfather.
“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,” Kardashian wrote, going on to thank her mom, Kris Jenner, “for holding my hand through this.”
A video the reality star put to her Instagram in June revealed she was expecting. Later that month, the couple announced they were having a boy.
Blink-182 recently made the announcement on social media that their gigs in Glasgow, Scotland, Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Dublin, Ireland were “being postponed” because Barker needed to “return home to the States” for “an urgent family matter.”
In his verified Instagram Story at the time of the band’s announcement, Barker shared images of a shared prayer space.
“Praise be to God,” Kardashian said at the end of her post. “Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.”
