Khloé Kardashian’s Doctor Offered to Bring Son Tatum Home Amid Depression Over His Premature Birth

Khloé Kardashian revealed that her doctor offered to take her and Tristan Thompson’s son Tatum home after she gave birth via surrogate in July 2022.

The ‘Kardashians’ star explained she was “crying hysterically” after finding out her surrogate was giving birth early, and couldn’t spend a “last weekend” with her daughter, True .

“It wasn’t even about the weekend, it was about the moment when it’s real,” Kardashian said on Tuesday’s episode of the “SHE MD” podcast with her doctor, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, and Mary Alice Haney.

Kardashian, 39, didn’t react very well to the news and told Aliabadi that they “can’t do this” because she “just needed the weekend.”

However, Aliabadi assured Kardashian that the surrogate had “no fluid in the bag,” so she “had to” give birth within 24 hours.

“She (Aliabadi) said, ‘You know what?’ I’m going to give birth. I’ll take the baby and you let me know when you’re ready to pick him up. And I was like, “What? I’m like, “Who does this?” Who even suggests this? And she did. And I remember being like, “Khloé, you fucking king, get out of there.” That’s life. We have to do it,” Kardashian explained.

Aliabadi added that she had “done this before.”

The Good American founder explained that in addition to Tatum being her first child born via surrogate, she was also in the middle of a difficult situation when she learned that her ex, Tristan Thompson, had got another woman pregnant while they were also expecting Tatum.

“It devastated me because that’s when all the judgment and knives were thrown at me,” she recalled.

“Connecting…took days with True. With him, it takes months and we still don’t have a full connection,” she said during a June 2023 episode of “The Kardashians.”

She clarified that she “didn’t treat him any differently” from True, but that she “questioned myself sometimes.”

“I wish someone would be honest about surrogacy and how different it is,” she said during a May 2023 episode of “The Kardashians.” Khloekardashian/Instagram

“I felt really guilty that this woman had just given birth to my baby. I wish someone would be honest about surrogacy and how different it is,” she told her sister Kim Kardashian – who also had two children via surrogacy – in a previous episode.

“I take the baby and I go to another room and you’re kind of separated. It’s such a transactional experience because it’s not about him. It’s a fucking mind. It’s really the strangest thing,” she continued.

However, Kardashian explained on the podcast that it took her about nine months to “fully connect” with Tatum, but she is now “obsessed” with him and encouraged others using a surrogate to “give each other some time.” grace” and “patience”.
