Kourtney publicly disclosed her pregnancy during a Blink-182 concert by jumping with a poster that read, "Travis I'm Pregnant," reminiscent of the band's "All the Small Things" music video.

Travis Barker disclosed the eagerly awaited name, "Rocky Thirteen," on the One Life One Chance podcast in late October.

The name was partly inspired by guitarist Rocky George from Suicidal Tendencies, and Travis's belief that "13 is just the greatest number of all time."
Kourtney's age classified her pregnancy as "geriatric," requiring additional medical attention and more restrictions than her previous pregnancies.
These restrictions included no working out, no flying on airplanes, and no sex during the first trimester.
The second trimester allowed more flexibility, but the third trimester brought back all the restrictions.

A medical scare resulted in Kourtney's hospitalization and fetal surgery. She expressed gratitude to both her doctors and her husband, Travis Barker, for their support during this challenging time.
This experience opened Kourtney's eyes to a new understanding of pregnancy challenges faced by mothers fighting for their babies.

She emphasized the importance of ultrasounds in saving her baby's life and noted that her insurance typically only covered two ultrasounds during pregnancy, highlighting the need for more.
