Kourtney Kardashian recently opened up about her pregnancy in an interview with Vanity Fair, where she revealed that she and Travis Barker were able to conceive their baby naturally after months of failed fertility treatments. “It arrived when both Travis and I no longer even thought about it, and when I had stopped fertility treatment,” said Kardashian. She revealed her pregnancy in June, calling it “God’s plan” for her and her husband Travis Barker. Kardashian spoke about the negative comments she has received online, doubting the natural pregnancy, but she says they “don’t affect” her. “To those who make them, I just say: ‘How could you question God’s plan?’” she said. “Because that’s how I see this pregnancy.”
The reality star and Blink-182 drummer began pursuing in vitro fertilization before they tied the knot in 2022. “I was pushed towards [IVF] as if it were the only option,” she explained. “The truth is, I felt like I was doing something that wasn’t right for me. My intuition was telling me that it wasn’t suitable for me — I don’t even take medicine, imagine — that it was working against my body rather than for it,” she continued. “I knew deep down that it wasn’t the right thing.” Kardashian revealed in an episode of “The Kardashians” which aired in May, that she and Barker were “officially done” with IVF. She told the magazine that once they “stopped forcing the process … it happened.”
After the pair announced their pregnancy in June, Kardashian revealed that the pair was advised by doctors to refrain from sex, workouts, and plane trips. “I think all this caution made me a little afraid because, in the past, I never had to be so careful,” Kardashian said. “It took me a while to let go of the fear.” In September, Kardashian had to undergo emergency fetal surgery, causing Barker to leave Blink-182’s world tour, returning weeks later. “Right after the surgery, I reached the point where I let myself go and I stopped worrying,” she said of the “frightening” experience. “Now I talk to the baby every day, have a positive mindset, keep my head straight, and say a lot of prayers.”
