Kourtney Kardashian Details Emergency Ultrasound That ‘Saved’ Her & Travis Barker’s Baby
Kourtney Kardashian is more than grateful for the ultrasound that saved the life of her and Travis Barker‘s forthcoming baby. The Kardashians star opened up about the ultrasound in a Tuesday (Oct. 17) interview with Vogue and said it “saved my baby’s life.”
In the interview, the Poosh founder revealed that her current pregnancy — which is classed as geriatric — has come with more restrictions than her previous ones, restrictions that are, in part, due to the urgent fetal surgery she underwent in September. At the time, Barker flew home from Blink-182’s tour that was scheduled to make stops in Ireland and Scotland “due to an urgent family matter,” the group said at the time.
“That experience opened my eyes to a whole new world of pregnancy that I didn’t know about in the past,” Kardashian recalled of the incident. “It was terrifying. After, I learned that insurance typically only covers two ultrasounds when you’re pregnant, I had no idea. I’ve always been lucky enough to do more than what insurance covers, and it’s one of those ultrasounds that saved my baby’s life.”
Now, the reality star is trying to embrace joy in the remaining months of her pregnancy. “I’ve finally been able to let go of the fear and worry that everybody else put in us because of this pregnancy,” she said. “I’m ready to go in, have the baby, and have the experience we’re meant to have.”
Kardashian — who is pregnant with a baby boy — is also mom to Mason, Penelope and Reign, whom she shared with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick; Barker is dad to Landon and Alabama and stepdad to Atiana, whom he shares with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
