Barker canceled several Blink-182 performances last week to deal with an 'urgent family matter'
Kourtney Kardashian is thanking her medical team for "saving our baby's life" after she revealed she was hospitalized with complications from her pregnancy.
Kardashian posted a black and white photo of her hand holding Barker's while she was in a hospital bed with an IV in her arm. The picture also showed a glimpse of her pregnant belly with a Band-Aid on it.
"I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life," she wrote in the caption. "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."
The 44-year-old is expecting her first child with her husband, Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker. Kardashian is already a mom to three children — Mason, Penelope and Reign — with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. Barker also shares two children, Alabama and Landon, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

"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," she continued in her caption. "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."
