“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,” she shared. “I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”
She concluded, “Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing. .”
The drummer also shared a tweet about the situation, writing, “God is great. I flew home for a life-threatening emergency surgery for our baby that I’m so grateful went well.”
“I want to say thank you for all the support. Tour resumes Friday,” he concluded.
>This baby is the fourth child for Kardashian. The POOSH founder shares sons Reign Aston, 8, and Mason Dash, 13, plus daughter Penelope Scotland, 11, with ex Scott Disick. Barker has three children with ex Shanna Moakler, son Landon, 19, daughter Alabama, 17 and stepdaughter Atiana, 24.
