Kourtney Kardashian recalls ‘terrifying’ fetal surgery for baby Rocky

Kourtney Kardashian has shed light on the emergency surgery she underwent last year that saved her baby’s life – an ordeal that left her in panic.

During Wednesday’s season 5 premiere of The Kardashians, Kourtney — who welcomed her and Travis Barker‘s little guy Rocky in November – said she was grateful because a doctor noticed something worrying during a scan two months before giving birth.

Kourt said, “Something caught his attention and he wanted me to see some specialists and I had to have fetal surgery, where they did surgery on the baby, which was terrifying.”

She thought about how things were causing even more stress… Trav was out of the country the night before her surgery. But he hit pause on his tour and immediately flew back from Scotland as soon as he got wind of what was going on.

KK emphasized that timing was everything and expressed her immense gratitude for the decisions of the doctors that saved her baby’s life.

She also complimented the doctors for being super understanding of the traumatic rollercoaster they were on during that difficult time… and how they reassured her that the whole ordeal was rare and not her fault at all.

Later, during a confessional, she relied on her “superpower” of staying calm to get her through the surgery – and admitted that it wasn’t until everything was fine that she finally let the tears flow.
