Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker Discussing Surrogacy After 'Difficult' Pregnancy
Could there be another little one joining the Kardashian-Barker family? If the rumors are to be believed, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker aren’t done having kids, even though their first child together, a son named Rocky, is only a few months old.
According to insiders, the couple is keeping the idea on the table, but this time around, they would look into using a surrogate. Close to the end of her pregnancy, Kourtney was rushed to the hospital for emergency fetal surgery. If Kourtney does end up using a surrogate, she will be following in the footsteps of younger sisters Kim and Khloé.

Kourtney didn't have an easy pregnancy with Rocky.
“Kourt had a difficult pregnancy with Rocky. She and Travis are beyond blessed that it worked out the way it did,” an insider told The Daily Mail. “It was touch and go for a moment, but everyone is healthy and happy, and it has made them want even more children together.”
The couple has grown closer after going through the difficult pregnancy.
The insider also shared that going through such an ordeal only strengthened the couple’s bond.
“This pregnancy challenged their love for each other in such a way that it is even better than it was – it makes people vomit with all the lovey-dovey high school related PDA they share,” the source said.
They are exploring other options for expanding their family.
“They have talked about trying for another child, but this time around they would likely go through a surrogate. It is a consistent conversation between them that hasn't changed to a ‘no,'” the insider shared.

Kourtney and Travis aren't in a hurry to have another baby.
Even if they do decide to add another kiddo to their brood — in addition to Rocky, Kardashian has sons Mason and Reign and daughter Penelope, and Barker has son Landon, daughter Alabama and stepdaughter Atiana — it won’t happen immediately.
“Since Rocky is so young and they are enjoying him, next year would be the soonest time to start thinking about more kids," the source shared.
Kourtney wasn't 'prepared' for the challenges that came up during her pregnancy with Rocky.
About two months before Rocky’s birth in November, Kourtney was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency fetal surgery. According to the insider, Kourtney wasn’t “prepared for the fear” she felt during the whole experience, especially because of her “really easy pregnancies in the past.”
