“Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing,” Kardashian wrote.
Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian are breathing a sigh of relief after health scare put their unborn child at risk.
On Wednesday, Kardashian took to Instagram to reveal that she had undergone “urgent fetal surgery” to save her baby’s life.
Sharing a black-and-white hospital photo of her hand in Barker’s, the mother of three said she’s “forever grateful” to the doctors, her husband for rushing home from his tour with Blink-182 last week to be by her side, and for her mom, Kris Jenner, for supporting her through this traumatic time.
“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, thank you for holding my hand through this,” Kardashian, who sported a small bandage over her pregnant belly, wrote.

She continued, “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. 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. 🙏🏼🤍,” Kardashian added.
Barker was one of the first to comment on the post, proclaiming, “god is great,” and he wasn’t the only famous figure to offer the couple their well-wishes.
