Thursday's premiere episode of the Hulu reality TV series gave viewers an intimate look at the 45-year-old Poosh founder's scary hospitalization while pregnant with her fourth child.

Kourt detailed what led to her immediate surgery last summer ahead of baby Rocky's arrival after getting a scan at home.

"The doctor who will come to the house to do the scan is a high-risk doctor, really detailed and thorough at looking for everything," she explained.

The Lemme owner revealed that her husband, Travis Barker, flew back home for the surgery because he was already out of the country for his Blink-182 tour.
