Kourtney Kardashian, 44, announced she had to undergo foetal surgery in an emotional Instagram post shared Wednesday evening.

In the picture, Kardashian, who is expecting her fourth child, appears to be holding husband Travis Barker’s hand. “I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life. I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side…to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.”
