Privacy Notice Kourtney Kardashian has opened up about how doctors saved the life of her unborn son after she underwent “urgent fetal surgery”. The announcement came after her husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, 47, was forced to return home to America on an “urgent family matter” last week. 44 year old Kourtney, who announced that she was expecting a baby with Travis while at a Blink-182 concert back in June, took to Instagram to thank the doctors for their help and spoke about the “fear” that she felt after being taken to hospital. “I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” she wrote alongside a black and white picture of her and Travis’ hands.

“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. “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.” The post 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.

“Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.” According to MayoClinic, foetal surgery is a procedure that is performed on a foetus in the uterus to “help improve the long-term outcome of children with specific birth defects”. It is also performed by a team of medical experts to help treat and improve conditions before the baby is born. Meanwhile, Cleveland Clinic adds that the technique used by surgeons for the procedure depends on the circumstances, though techniques include open surgery, fetoscopic surgery and surgery at delivery.

Kourtney’s post comes after she and Travis were spotted leaving a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday 2 September, and getting into a black SUV with security following behind them. Travis was seen wearing a black T-shirt with white sleeves with a white T-shirt over it which he paired with some black ripped jeans and a pair of black trainers. Kourtney opted for a grey matching co-ord which she wore with chunky grey trainers, and a pair of sunglasses. A source told People magazine that she was “back home now with her kids”, that she’s “feeling better” and “happy to have Travis back home too”.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
