Travis, 47, and Kylie, 26, were also pictured arriving separately at the Los Angeles hospital, another hint that the baby is on the way. They were both spotted arriving on Thursday.
According to TMZ, insiders close to the family were “unusually light” on the subject of Kourtney’s stay in the hospital, but they were able to confirm that Kourtney’s due date was scheduled for this week. Another source said she was going into labor.
It’s been a long road for Kourtney and Travis as they tried to conceive the baby for two years.
Kourtney tried IVF several times and only became pregnant when she finally stopped all treatments late last year. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians veteran has said in the past that she believes getting pregnant naturally is “God’s plan.”
The POOSH founder also endured a horror: In September, she had to undergo “horrific” fetal surgery to save the life of her unborn baby.
Kourtney already has three children – Mason (13), Penelope (11) and Reign (8) – with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick (40).
Travis also has two children – Landon, 20, and Alabama, 17 – with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, 48. The rock star also thinks about Shanna’s daughter with former boxer Oscar De La Hoya – 24-year-old model Atiana De La Hoya – his child.
In mid-October, she told Vanity Fair Italia that she had become pregnant naturally after two years of failed IVF attempts.

“I’m just saying, ‘How could you question God’s plan?’ Because that’s how I see this pregnancy, which came when Travis and I weren’t even thinking about it anymore and a year after we canceled IVF,” she said.
Kourtney announced last December that she had officially called off her IVF journey 10 months ago after she said it caused her to, among other things, spiral into a deep depression.
Her pregnancy wasn’t easy. In September, she had a frightening experience when she had to undergo fetal surgery to save the life of her unborn son. Travis flew home from his tour to be by her side.
The star also said: “It was terrifying.” “I feel like I’ll go into more detail sooner or later because I hope it can help others, but I don’t feel ready yet because it was really scary .”
The POOSH founder announced her pregnancy news to the public in mid-June while Barker was performing on stage at his concert. She held up a sign that said, “Travis, I’m pregnant.”

It was a reference to the band’s iconic “All The Small Things” music video, which features a similar sign.
After catching a glimpse of his wife’s message, Travis jumped off the stage, walked towards her and the couple shared a passionate kiss.
She later confirmed the news on her Instagram Story by sharing a video of the surprise reveal.
Kourtney and Travis began a romantic relationship in late 2020 after nearly a decade of friendship. They made their relationship Instagram official in February 2021 and got engaged in October.
The couple married at a Santa Barbara courthouse in May 2022 before flying to Portofino, Italy a week later for a lavish wedding at the Dolce & Gabbana mansion in front of their friends and family.
Kourtney has been open with fans about her attempts to conceive a child with Barker through in vitro fertilization.
In 2022, Kourtney first detailed her struggle with IVF on the Hulu series The Kardashians.
In the episode, Kourtney was at her home in Calabasas when mom Kris Jenner came to visit and asked how the doctors were doing, to which Kourtney replied, “Terrible.”

Kourtney revealed in a confessional that her doctor “led her down this path of IVF, and it wasn’t the most amazing experience.”
She also claimed that the “medications they gave me made me go into menopause, literally menopause.”
At the same time, Kourtney said it also sent her into depression and caused her to gain weight.
“I think because I’m so clean and careful with what I put into my body, it’s like I’m feeling the exact opposite and working as a contraceptive instead of helping us,” she told the audience at the time.
“I have everything in the world to be happy about.” I just feel a bit uncomfortable and don’t like myself. Super moody and hormonal, like I’m a lunatic half the time.’
In December 2022, she confirmed to her fans that she had officially stopped treatment ten months ago and was just “getting my energy back.”
She told the Wall Street Journal that she “took a break to just focus on our wedding and getting married,” which took place in May 2022.

In the season premiere episode of The Kardashians Season 3, the POOSH founder further discussed her decision to stop IVF and how she froze her eggs in her 30s.
“We would love a baby more than anything, but I just really believe in what God has for us,” she explained.
Kourtney had “seven frozen eggs from before Travis,” which those around her urged her to get.
“When I was 38 or 39, everyone was pushing me to do it, and most of me didn’t survive the thawing because eggs are a single cell and none of them made it into an embryo.”
Kourtney was always aware that “freezing eggs is not a guarantee” that she would become pregnant.

She told her sister Khloe that she and Travis already had “a full, blessed life” without a child and didn’t let that get them down.
“Everything that came with IVF took a physical toll on me. My health is still affected because of the hormones. And mentally it took its toll too,” she explained.
“So I think the most important thing is just to be happy and be a good parent to my children. “We just accept that whatever is meant to be, will be.”
Kourtney previously said that motherhood is her “favorite role in life” and that it “gives me purpose.”
