A pregnant Kourtney Kardashian has revealed that she was taken to hospital for surgery.
This comes after husband Travis Barker announced that he had to rush home for an 'urgent family matter' while on tour with Blink-182, due to perform in Scotland last Friday.

"Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States," a statement from the band read on Friday morning.
"The Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows are being postponed.
"More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available."
Well, we think we now know why Travis rushed off home as Kourtney took to Instagram today (6 September) to explain what happened.
She said: "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 from tour 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.
"As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery.
"I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear.
"I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.
"Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing."
The mum, 44, currently shares sons Reign Aston, 8, Mason Dash, 13, and daughter Penelope Scotland, 10, with ex Scott Disick.
Whereas Travis is father to daughter Alabama Luella, 17, son Landon Asher, 19, as well as stepdad to Atiana De La Hoya, ex-wife Shanna Moakler's daughter from her previous relationship with professional boxer, Oscar De La Hoya.
Earlier this year, in an episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney revealed that she 'had seven frozen eggs from years ago, before Travis'.
"When I was 38 or 39, everyone was like pushing me to do that. Most of mine didn’t survive the thaw because eggs are one cell, and none of them made it into an embryo," Kourtney said.
"The freezing of eggs isn’t guaranteed. It’s a misunderstanding, people do it thinking it's a safety net, and it's not."
She also revealed that the whole situation 'took a toll' on her general health and well-being, reminding us that health is well and truly wealth.
"My health is still impacted because it's hormones, and mentally it definitely took a toll," she said.
"I think being happy is what's important and being a good parent to my kids.
"We're just embracing that whatever is meant to be will be."
