September 7, 2023 by Carrie McCabe
Kourtney Kardashian took to Instagram on Wednesday to disclose some of the details of her recent emergency hospitalization, which included “urgent fetal surgery” to save her unborn baby’s life.
A source told People on September 4th that Kourtney had returned from a “brief” stay in a hospital, a few days after the official Blink-182 Twitter/X account posted that drummer Travis Barker, Kourtney’s husband and father of her unborn son, had to return home from their current concert tour “due to an urgent family matter.” Kourtney then clarified the situation with her Instagram post, revealing that the hospitalization had been due to pregnancy complications.

Kourtney‘s Instagram post showed a black-and-white image of her with an IV in her arm, holding hands with husband Travis Barker while likely still in the hospital. Clarifying the news that she had been hospitalized and released sometime early this month, the reality star revealed that it was due to an emergency situation with her unborn baby. “I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” she emotionally wrote. “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.”
She went on, “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.”
