KOURTNEY Kardashian has opened up about her pregnancy journey with her youngest child.
The Hulu star shared details about the newest member of her family on her Instagram Stories on Monday.
Kourtney, 45, invited fans to ask her questions on her Stories, and many wrote in with questions about her baby son.
The star welcomed Rocky Thirteen Barker, with her husband Travis Barker, on November 1, 2023.
“Had 6 failed IVFs – how did you find the strength to keep going? It’s debilitating,” one social media user asked, after Kourtney previously opened up about trying IVF due to fertility struggles.
“I stopped after a year of trying (5 failed IVF cycles, 3 retrievals) my body relaxed and I believed in God’s plan for my life. Lots of prayers for whatever was meant to be for us. Also lots of optimizing my health.

“I know how hard it is to feel like you’re not trying, but believing in God’s plan and saying your prayers is so powerful. All the best!” Kourtney responded.
In a later post, the reality television star clarified, “I want to be super clear because it seems my answer to the IVF question may have been confusing…
“I got pregnant 100% naturally, NOT through IVF… one year after stopping IVF actually. Through God’s blessing, on Valentine’s Day.”

The star filmed the episode when she was 31 weeks pregnant, and recalled having a scan with her older children, Mason, Penelope, and Reign Disick, at home.
During the scan with “a high risk doctor,” something “caught his eye,” with the results being sent off to be checked further.
The star was then rushed to hospital, with Travis flying in to see her.
Kourtney underwent a fetal surgery, with the baby being operated on while still in the womb.
The star didn’t reveal the specifics of the surgery, but explained that it “was not age-related,” but instead just a “super-rare issue.”
“I just feel so grateful for how everything played out and to the doctors that helped make the best decision that saved our baby,” she added.
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker relationship timeline
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker first sparked romance rumors in January of 2021. A little over a year later, the two reportedly tied the knot in a Las Vegas wedding ceremony. Here is a timeline of their love story:
The mother of four also revealed, “[The doctor said] I want you guys to take a second and know that was really traumatic.”
PROUD MAMA
While Kourtney stayed very private immediately after giving birth, she’s now back in the spotlight with her family.
The star has shared plenty of moments at home and on vacation with her loved ones, and proudly showed off her post-baby body in bikini photos.
However, the star faced comments from trolls suggesting that she might be unhappy with her curvier figure.
Last month, she posed with her sisters Kim, 43, and Khloe, 39, on the beach.
The trio all looked happy in black bikinis, but one fan couldn’t resist comparing Kourtney with her super-slim younger siblings.
“Now you know she’s not going to like this photo… lol it’s her bday Kim… lol,” they wrote.
Kourtney quickly clapped back, shooting down the idea she wouldn’t like the bikini shot.
“I LOVE this photo! It is me and my sisters having the best time on a trip with our kids… and the memories to last forever.
“And I LOVE this body that gave me my 3 big babies and my little baby boy,” she firmly wrote.
