In the first trailer for season 5 of The Kardashians, which dropped on Wednesday, the 45-year-old reality star opened up about the scary medical situation.
‘This is the best blessing in the world,’ the Poosh founder says. ‘But it’s also a high-risk pregnancy,’ Kourtney says as footage pans of her Disneyland-themed baby shower and backstage at a Blink-182 concert.
The cameras also seemed to capture the moment her mother, Kris Jenner, learned her eldest child needed emergency surgery, which Kourtney previously revealed saved her son’s life.
Kourtney Kardashian revealed she was petrified to undergo emergency fetal surgery during her pregnancy with fourth child, Rocky Thirteen Barker, now six months
‘This is really crazy, so I just want Kourtney to be OK,’ the momager said to one of the cameraman.
Following the procedure, Kourtney, who was recorded laying in a hospital gown as she held her spouse’s hand, said in a confessional that going in for fetal surgery ‘was terrifying.’
During the preview, her younger sister, Khloé Kardashian, revealed she made the decision to stay home while ‘the whole family is out of the country’ to stay close to Kourtney, who was approaching ‘the very end of her pregnancy.’
‘Someone has to be here – even for all the kids,’ the TV personality mused, nodding to the 12 Kardashian-Jenner grandkids.
At the time, Kourtney kept fans updated on her health after being rushed to the hospital during the final trimester of pregnancy.
‘I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,’ she wrote on Instagram. ‘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.’
Kourtney then went on to reveal that despite having pregnancy complications before she still wasn’t ready for what had happened.
The mother-of-four continued: ‘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.’
A month after undergoing surgery to save her unborn baby’s life, she and Barker welcomed their first child together.
It was a long road for Kardashian and Barker as they spent two years trying to conceive their baby.
Kourtney tried IVF several times and she did not get pregnant until she finally stopped all treatments in late 2022.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians veteran has said in the past that she feels getting pregnant naturally was ‘God’s plan.’
The Poosh founder also called her pregnancy ‘the best blessing in the world’
In addition to documenting the scary fetal surgery, her baby shower was documented for their series

In mid-October she told Vanity Fair Italia she had conceived naturally after failed attempts at IVF for two years.
‘I just say: how could you question God’s plan? Because that’s how I see this pregnancy, which came when both Travis and I weren’t even thinking about it anymore and a year after we stopped IVF,’ she said.
Kourtney revealed last December that she’d officially stopped her IVF journey 10 months prior after she said it caused her to spiral into a deep depression among other symptoms.
The reality star revealed her pregnancy news to the public while Barker performed on stage at his concert as she held up a sign that read: ‘Travis, I’m Pregnant.’

It was a nod to the band’s iconic All The Small Things music video, in which a similar sign appears.
After catching a glimpse of his wife’s message, Travis jumped down off the stage, made his way towards her and the couple shared a passionate kiss.
Kourtney and Travis became romantically involved in late 2020 after nearly a decade of friendship. They made their relationship Instagram official in February 2021 and were engaged by that October.
The couple wed at a courthouse in Santa Barbara in May 2022 before jetting off to Portofino, Italy a week later to hold a lavish wedding at the Dolce & Gabbana mansion in front of their friends and family.
