Kourtney Kardashian has opened up about the ultrasound that saved her baby’s life.
The 44-year-old, who is expecting a baby boy with her husband Travis Barker, was rushed to hospital last month.
The Poosh founder later thanked doctors for saving her baby’s life, revealing he is still “safe” in her tummy.
In a new interview with Vogue ahead of her son’s arrival, Kourtney opened up about the “terrifying” ordeal.
The reality star said: “That experience opened my eyes to a whole new world of pregnancy that I didn’t know about in the past. 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.”
Kourtney revealed she and Travis got pregnant naturally, after deciding to stop IVF following a number of failed attempts.
She said: “I felt really pressured and pushed into doing IVF. It went against my intuition, and I didn’t feel fully prepared for the mental or physical toll is takes.”
“We just got pregnant naturally. It was an indescribable feeling. Shock, then super-happy, fear sets in, worry, but I remembered then to have gratitude.”
While this baby will be Kourtney and Travis’ first together, the couple already have children from past relationships.
Kourtney shares three children with her ex Scott Disick – Mason, Penelope and Reign.
Meanwhile Travis shares two children, Landon and Alabama, with his ex-wife Shanna – who he was married to from 2004 until 2008.
He is also the step-father of Shanna’s 24-year-old daughter Atiana, from her previous relationship with Oscar De La Hoya.
