What Happened to Kourtney Kardashian?
Neither the Poosh founder nor the musician, 47, have revealed why Kourtney needed to be hospitalized. However, the hospitalization had to do with Kourtney’s pregnancy, as The Kardashians star revealed on Instagram on September 6.
“I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life. 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 wrote.
Kourt 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.”
Kourtney also confirmed that her “baby boy” is still “in [her] tummy and safe,” which she said was “the truest blessing.”
