Challenges on the path to motherhood
Kourtney Kardashian, the eldest of the famous Kardashian sisters, has decided to open her heart and share her arduous and unconventional journey to motherhood. Through the family reality show ‘The Kardashians’, viewers have witnessed the emotional and physical ups and downs that the businesswoman has faced in her attempt to have a child with her current partner, Travis Barker. Kourtney, who already has three children from her previous relationship with Scott Disick and now baby Rocky with her husband, has spoken openly about her experiences and difficulties in getting pregnant with her last child.
The challenging process of in vitro fertilization
Followers have expressed enormous curiosity about the difficult path that the founder of Lemme took, which caused Kourtney Kardashian to decide to come clean. “I stopped trying after a year (5 failed IVF cycles, 3 recoveries),” she said. At 45 years old, she had to undergo five in vitro fertilization processes, which involved enormous changes and both physical and mental problems due to hormones, according to a specialized website.
However, there came a point when her body could not take it anymore and she decided to put that process aside, surrendering to “God’s plan.” “We prayed a lot for whatever would happen for us. I also worked hard to optimize my health,” added the socialite. This decision seems to have been the best one, since after relaxing her body, the baby arrived naturally. “I got pregnant 100 percent naturally, not through IVF,” she said. The conception of her youngest son took place, according to her, “on Valentine’s Day.”
Unconventional Methods and Support from Travis Barker
Throughout this tortuous path, Kourtney Kardashian resorted to different strategies. One of the most striking of hers was the recommendation of a doctor who suggested she drink the semen of her husband, Travis Barker, four times a week to improve her thyroid levels. According to her testimony in an episode of ‘The Kardashians’, this practice helped her cope better with the pregnancy. “I love this doctor,” Barker commented with satisfaction.
Urgent surgery to save Rocky
The road did not end there. Upon finally achieving pregnancy, Kourtney Kardashian faced another test: urgent fetal surgery to ensure the health of her baby and her own. Little Rocky had a fluid-filled lung, requiring emergency obstetric intervention. Fortunately, the operation was a success and now the family is fully enjoying their new member.
The arrival of Rocky and the constant public interest
After countless challenges, including semen consumption, multiple IVF attempts and a crucial surgery, little Rocky has joined the famous Kardashian clan. These types of experiences, as incredible as they sound, keep the audience always intrigued with the life of Kourtney Kardashian and her sisters, who continue to share their amazing stories.
