Kourtney revealed on a recent episode of “The Kardashians” that she and Travis had sex while she was already 3 centimeters dilated. This unconventional method was their way of hurrying up labor, hoping the baby could be born on Halloween. Kourtney first felt contractions on October 29, 2023. By that evening, she’d already dilated 2 centimeters upon arrival at the hospital.
“This is my first natural birth experience with the baby exiting out of the vagina. I am a little scared,” Travis admitted in all honesty. But he also promised to be very supportive, as he had experienced it once with his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler. “I am going to be right there. I am going to catch him like a basketball.”
But very little had changed by this morning. Feeling determined to see if they could get things along, the couple decided to return home this morning. As Kourtney explained,
“We went home, ate at Crossroads, showered, slept in our bed, and then we had sex to see if that helps. Sometimes it can work.”.
The couple’s efforts seemed to be adequate to a certain degree. At 4 a.m. on October 30, Kourtney was 3 centimeters dilated, but still, it wasn’t much. Kourtney was seen bouncing on a giant rubber ball and maneuvering in circles. She was also speaking to her family on the phone. It was apparent that she was looking forward to having an October 31st Halloween baby. “I was hoping Rocky would wait until Halloween,” Kourtney said.
The couple had initially wished for a Halloween baby, but nature had its plans. By Halloween afternoon, Kourtney and Travis drove back to the hospital. After the time seemed so far away all morning and throughout the afternoon, the pushing began just before midnight. Rocky was born at 12:01 a.m. on November 1, 2023, despite the efforts. They only missed their Halloween wish by a minute.
Kourtney beamed with joy and relief as she expressed her happiness. “I’m so happy that Mom was here. That ended up being special. She is very comforting, so it’s been a special time for me, her, and Travis. We can share that experience,” she shared in an update accompanied by touching videos of her with baby Rocky.
Kourtney and Travis finally welcomed their baby boy, Rocky Thirteen Barker, and it felt like heaven. The little one seems to be an obsession for the couple ever since his birth.
“I’m holding Rocky Thirteen Barker, and it’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of,” said Kourtney. “I have the most supportive and amazing husband and am so happy in my blissful baby bubble.”.
Fans got an insider view of Kourtney’s labor process, not only the medical but also the emotional and personal aspects of their experience. The openness with which the couple shares such intimate details speaks to how open they are with their fans.
Kourtney and Travis’s relationship might have seemed sudden to some, but they had known each other for years before their romance blossomed. Their bond has always been strong, and their openness about their intimate life is just another example of their close connection.
It’s beautiful to see how this couple, from just friends, transformed into one life partner, and now they are parents. Most significantly, their willingness to be more open with the public on every single moment of their lives—from the most intimate moments down to giving birth to their son—endeared them so much more to their fans.
