Kris Jenner was furious to learn her daughter Kourtney Kardashian was pregnant via the news.

Reality star, 44, Kourtney stood in the crowd with a sign that read: ‘Travis I’m pregnant.’

Kris then added: ‘I thought I was being Punk’d.’
On the current series of the Hulu show, Kourtney hasn’t been getting on so well with her family, feuding with sister Kim Kardashian and choosing not to go with them on their family vacation to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.
Last month, Kourtney underwent emergency surgery that saved her unborn baby’s life.
After she said she felt ‘lucky’ because the unspecified issue was detected while she was having an extra monitoring session that women in the US don’t routinely receive.
Kourtney – who already has Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and eight-year-old Reign with former partner Scott Disick – told America’s Vogue magazine: ‘That experience opened my eyes to a whole new world of pregnancy that I didn’t know about in the past.
‘It was terrifying. After I learned that insurance typically only covers two ultrasounds when you’re pregnant, I had no idea.
‘I’ve always been lucky enough to do more than what insurance covers, and it’s one of those ultrasounds that saved my baby’s life.’
Last month when Kourtney documented the ordeal online, she shared a black and white photo of her and Barker holding hands.

Along with it was a heartfelt caption: ‘I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life.
‘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.’
Elsewhere in the chat Kardashian – who endured rounds of IVF before falling pregnant naturally – said she felt ‘pressured and pushed’ into fertility treatment and that it went ‘against her intuition.’
When the couple took a break from IVF they conceived naturally, with the star saying: ‘It was an indescribable feeling. Shock, then super-happy, fear sets in, worry, but I remembered then to have gratitude.’
The star also admitted she is ‘obsessed’ with pregnancy as she counts down to her due date with her fourth child.
Her pregnancy news came over a year after Kourtney ended her IVF journey, which had subjected her to an onslaught of health issues, including depression.
On an episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians at the time, Kourtney shared that she ‘took a break to just focus on our wedding and getting married.’
She also admitted, ‘We would love a baby more than anything but I just really believe in what God has in store for us.’

She also spilled that she had ‘seven frozen eggs from years ago before Travis’ – a step she had taken when she was nearing the age of 40.
‘When I was 38 or 39 everyone was like, pushing me to do that and most of mine didn’t survive the thaw because eggs are one cell and none of them made it to an embryo,’ the eldest Kardashian sister said.
‘All the things that came with IVF took a toll on me physically. My health is still impacted because it’s hormones. And also mentally it took a toll,’ she said.
‘So, I think just being happy is most important and being a good parent to my kids. We are just embracing that whatever is meant to be will be.’
