Kourtney Kardashian opened up about her traumatic emergency fetal surgery during her recent pregnancy.
During the season five premiere of The Kardashians on Thursday, May 23, Kourtney, who was 31 and a half weeks pregnant at the time of filming, shared her stressful experience.
She noted, "We had planned a scan at home, so that all the kids could see the baby, The doctor who will come to the house to do the scan is a high-risk doctor, who's really detailed and thorough at looking for everything. And something caught his eye where he wanted me to see a couple specialists."
After the appointments, Kourtney found out she needed an emergency surgery next morning which she referred as "terrifying" and her anxiety was intensified as her husband, Travis, was unable to be with her during the treatment.
Kourtney while talking about surgery, expressed, “It was quick. The timing of it was miraculous. That saved everything. I just feel so grateful how everything played out and for the doctors who really helped make the best decisions that saved our baby.”
Although The Kardsashian star didn't share the exact issue, she said it happened suddenly and needed to be treated quickly.
She revealed, “My doctor said there’s nothing that you did wrong. It is not age related. It is just a super rare thing that happened.”
For the last two months of her pregnancy, Kourtney share that she stayed in bed most of the time, following doctor's advice to rest.
Kourtney Kardashian finally welcomed son Rocky with husband Travis Barker in November, 2023.
