Kourtney has welcomed her first child with her husband, Travis Barker

THE KARDASHIAN-Jenner sisters have experienced their fair share of scary moments upon welcoming their many children, including emergency deliveries and postpartum issues.

Between Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Kylie – who all have multiple children with their respective baby daddies – motherhood proved to be challenging from the beginning.

Kourtney, 44, was the first of the clan to welcome a child and film the entire journey on the family’s former spinoff series, Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.

Fans watched the moment Kourtney learned she was expecting her now 13-year-old son, Mason, on the October 4, 2009 episode.

They also saw her then-boyfriend Scott Disick’s shocked reaction upon discovering he would be a dad for the first time.

The former couple continued to document Kourtney’s pregnancy on the show and even filmed when the Poosh founder gave birth on December 14, 2009.

Fans were surprised at just how much was shown in the season four finale of the family’s original series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which showed Kourtney pulling her son out during labor.

“The experience was so indescribable and life-changing, and I can’t believe he’s all mine,” Kourtney said at the time.

The Lemme founder’s siblings – who were in the delivery room during Mason’s birth – have repeatedly made comments about the unbelievable moment.

“Kourtney just loves to pull out her own children,” Khloe joked during the Season 7 finale in 2012 when helping her sister deliver her second child, Penelope.

She went on to welcome a third child, son Reign, in 2014, with Scott, 40, although that was not filmed.

Kourtney welcomed her fourth child – her first with her husband, Travis Barker, 47 – but the pregnancy was far from easy.

The couple were open about their struggles to conceive in previous episodes of their Hulu series, The Kardashians.

Kourtney happily revealed in May that she was pregnant with Travis’ baby while holding a sign from the crowd of a Blink-182 concert, of which he is the drummer.

They later revealed during their gender reveal party that they were having a boy.

However, Travis would later raise the alarm about his pregnant wife after he abruptly ditched his bandmates on tour and flew home for “an urgent family matter.”

The reason was unknown for several days until Kourtney revealed on Wednesday that she needed “urgent fetal surgery.”

In an Instagram post, she thanked the hospital staff and noted that the baby was safe and still in her belly.

The couple named their baby boy Rocky Thirteen Barker.

Kris Jenner’s second-born child, Kim, 43, also experienced complications in her pregnancies with her two oldest kids.

The beauty mogul shares four kids: North, 10; Saint, seven; Chicago, five; and Psalm, four, with her ex-husband Kanye West, 46.

However, her pregnancies did not go smoothly as she explained that she suffered from pre-eclampsia and placenta accreta when she was expecting North and delivered her six weeks early.

In February 2020, Kim discussed the terrifying experience on the All’s Fair podcast with family attorney, Laura Wasser.

“I thought I had a miscarriage because I was really heavily bleeding and in so much pain,” Kim shared when recalling her first pregnancy.

“Went in because you have to go and do a D&C [dilation and curettage] to clean out your miscarriage.”

The TV personality then shared that her doctor told her she had a miscarriage after being unable to find a heartbeat.

However, the baby’s heartbeat was detected when she returned for a follow-up appointment the next day.

“We ended up obviously having North, and I had a really bad pregnancy: I had pre-eclampsia, I delivered six weeks early, she was four pounds, and I had something called placenta accreta, where the placenta grows inside your uterus,” Kim explained.

“It’s honestly what people die from in childbirth, so you have to get the placenta out within a certain amount of time.”

Kim again faced challenges during her pregnancy with her son Saint, who was conceived via an embryo she had stored after she tried for over a year to get pregnant.

The Skims founder revealed she went through pre-eclampsia and placenta accreta again, and both were a “little worse” the second time.

After that, Kim and Kanye ended up welcoming their two youngest children via surrogate.

KHLOE

Another sibling who chose the surrogate route was Khloe, 39, who had been open about her struggles to conceive in the past.

On an episode of KUWTK, Khloe revealed she nearly lost her eldest child, True, now five, after undergoing pregnancy complications.

This led to her decision to seek out a surrogate to have her son, Tatum, who celebrated his first birthday in August.

Khloe relayed her doctor’s concerns to her sister Kim about the Good American founder carrying another child: “I’m not going to get into specifics on camera, but they said it’s an 80-something percent chance that I’ll miscarry.

“I almost miscarried with True at the beginning, but I didn’t know that was a lingering thing.”

She continued: “[Doctor A] said she would be afraid of if embryos are so hard to create, she would feel terrible putting one in without warning me that most likely I wouldn’t be able to carry.”

Khloe opened up about it further in a confessional interview: “This is all really, like, shocking to me. All I’m trying to do is bring more love into my life and into my family, and it just… I seem to be running into more and more roadblocks, and it’s really hard for me to digest.”

Kim encouraged her sister to consider surrogacy as she had a successful experience with her last two babies.

Khloe shares True and Tatum with her ex, Tristan Thompson, 32.

Despite being the youngest Kar-Jenner sibling, Kylie, 26, has been vocal about her dreams of becoming a mother for years.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder is a mom to daughter Stormi, five, and son Aire, one, with her ex, Travis Scott, 32.

Kylie has also been the most secretive of her sisters and kept her pregnancies under wraps – even going so far as to wait nearly a year before revealing her son’s name.

In March, the makeup mogul got vulnerable in her Vanity Fair Italy cover story about her postpartum issues, which she experienced after welcoming both her children.

She told the publication that her postpartum depression was “more manageable” after her son was born than her “very difficult” first pregnancy with her daughter.

The TV star also urged other mothers going through the same emotions to “stay inside that moment, even if it is painful” and “live through that transition without fear of the aftermath.”
