Kourtney Kardashian, 47, Shares Bikini Vacation Photos as She Pushes Postpartum Body Confidence

Q: What terrifying pregnancy complication almost derailed Kourtney Kardashian's growing blended family before their desert getaway?

The frightening complication was that doctors discovered Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s unborn son Rocky had fluid building up in his lungs, a potentially life-threatening condition that required emergency fetal surgery. According to Barker’s account in his documentary, Kardashian called him while he was touring in Europe to say the baby’s lungs were “filling with fluid.” Doctors then performed a procedure by inserting a needle through Kardashian’s abdomen to drain the fluid from the fetus’s lungs. Kardashian later described the surgery as “terrifying,” and Barker reportedly canceled shows to be with her in the hospital. The scare was especially severe because the couple had already endured a miscarriage and failed IVF attempts before conceiving Rocky. Rocky was ultimately born in November 2023, after what the couple has described as a difficult and emotionally draining pregnancy journey.

Instagram photos posted over the weekend showed 47-year-old Kourtney Kardashian in a metallic silver bikini during a family trip through Utah and northern Arizona with husband Travis Barker and their children.
The images land after Kardashian publicly urged new mothers to reject pressure to "bounce back" following the November 2023 birth of her youngest child, Rocky, saying "your body is beautiful at all stages."
Kardashian has also said her fitness goals shifted toward energy and feeling her best rather than chasing a certain look, reinforcing the body-confidence message behind the post.
The getaway highlighted the couple's blended family, which includes Kardashian's three older children, Barker's three children and Rocky, now 2, after a difficult path to expanding their family.
