Kourtney Kardashian is grateful an ultrasound scan helped save her unborn baby’s life.
The 44-year-old star is expecting her first child with her husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, and last month she underwent emergency surgery so she feels “lucky” because the unspecified issue was detected while she was having an extra monitoring session that women in the US don’t routinely receive.
Kourtney - who already has Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and 8-year-old Reign with former partner Scott Disick - told America’s Vogue magazine: “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.”
The Poosh founder has found being classed as a geriatric mother due to her age “wild” because she’s had to take so many more precautions than she did in her previous pregnancies.
