If it truly was an emergency and she was “rushed” into surgery, I’m baffled how Travis made it back in time before the surgery began? He was overseas. This looks like a planned thing. And wouldn’t she be on strict bed rest after “fetal surgery”? I’m surprised she was allowed to walk out like that. And Travis was able to resume his tour so quickly afterwards?

Something is fishy.

They just wanted attention.

+1. If it was something like fetal surgery for spina bifida, it most certainly would not be "emergency". My only thought was an emergency cerclage, but it seems sort of late into the pregnancy for that.

I think that this is a confusing story and I'm also a mom who had a kid AMA and glad that their kid is okay. It's not an attack.

I just assume that my experience is not universal, that I don't know the details of everyone's medical situation (even of people as public as Kourtney & Travis) and take it all at face value. I'm not a doctor. Nor do I know the ins and outs of hospital liability regarding people walking out of the hospital. Nor even whether she was supposed to walk out or not (maybe she wasn't supposed to but did, I have no idea).

Sounds like there was an issue, she went to the hospital, her husband came home from tour to be with her, the doctors treated her, and there was a good outcome. Great. I don't really need to know more than that, and I definitely don't need to speculate about a bunch of stuff I can't possibly know.

You must be so lost and confused to find yourself on this Entertainment and Pop Culture message board!

You're not morally superior for being credulous about Kardashian press releases. You're just a fan.

No PP. it was fine for him to return. It was over the top dramatic to say she had fetal surgery then walk out 2 days later.

I think it's funny people assume that because Kourtney walked out of the hospital, they are somehow over-dramatizing whatever happened.

If they wanted to hype it up and make it seem worse than it was, they would have had her come out in a wheelchair. Her walking out is a way of communicating that everything is a-ok, the opposite of overplaying it.

Travis' reaction on Instagram was way more public than I'd be in that situation (or any situation), but I have to assume his concern was genuine. I remember something concerning showing up on my 20 week scan when I was pregnant, and having to go in for multiple additional scans and some extra monitoring, and just feeling in a constant state of stress about it, as was my DH, especially because I was older and my pregnancy was high risk. If he'd been abroad when it happened, I am sure we would have felt even worse. It all turned out to be nothing, thankfully, but that doesn't mean I was "being dramatic" because I was worried, or that my DH overreacted by taking some time off work to accompany me to appointments.

sounds plausible.

If it was this, they would have delivered the baby as she must be into her 3rd trimester. It seems like she is pretty far along, so I think any life threatening situation to mom or baby would have resulted in an immediate delivery

I really don’t think she understands what fetal surgery is…

I assumed she was bleeding and it was something like this. I'm no Kardashian fan, but glad to hear it was resolved.

What surgery would fix that? Are we calling a cerclage a lifesaving fetal surgery?
