Kourtney Kardashian is opening up about a harrowing trip to the hospital that resulted in an "urgent fetal surgery" to save her unborn baby's life.
"I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby's life," the reality star 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."
Kardashian's husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, left the band's European tour on September 1 to deal with an "urgent family matter," according to an announcement from the band.
"Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States," they wrote. "The Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows are being postponed. More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available."
Barker has since returned to Europe, and the tour is scheduled to resume on Friday.
Kardashian and Barker married last year in an impromptu Vegas wedding. Alongside her Instagram message, the media mogul posted a black and white photo of her husband holding her hand in the hospital, under which he commented: "God is great."
The socialite also praised her mother, Kris Jenner, for her support during the difficult ordeal, writing, "to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this."
"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," she continued. "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."
Kardashian concluded her message by saying: "Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing."
