Kylie Jenner, youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan opens up on motherhood and her struggle with postpartum depression during a recent British vogue interview. The reality star and business mogul denied using Ozempic, the antidiabetic medication and claims that motherhood greatly changed her body.
“I'm back at my weight I was before I had my daughter and son and people are putting side by sides of me three months postpartum. I'm like, 'Does everyone forget that I had two children and I gained 60 pounds both pregnancies?'” She claims she lost all the weight after giving birth to her and rapper Travis Scott's children, Stormie and Aire Webster.
Despite the reality star once revealing she always wanted to be a young mom, she claims that motherhood has not been easy on her. She claims it is “wild” and a “huge life change.” “I didn't have time to figure out ever some of the little things in my life, and then postpartum lasted a year. Mentally, it's really hard. Hormonally, it's really hard. I didn't know how to dress.” She went ahead to claim she would wear sweatpants everyday.
“I was 19 when I got pregnant, 20 when I had her," Jenner said, looking back on becoming a young mom. "It was wild. "Looking back at it, I give myself more empathy and grace. But when I was a teenager, even my family were like: 'You aren't that young.' I think maybe I carried myself [a certain way] or I'd already been working for 10 years. It didn't hit me [straight away]. But it was a huge life change.”
Kylie Jenner also remembered after Aire's birth, she would get emotional over things that she usually does not get emotional about. Being on the phone with her mom at the time was also a memory she shared, saying that she would call Kris Jenner "hysterically crying" because she couldn't figure out his name. She claims she felt like a “failure” after it took too long for her to figure out her son's name.
“It hit me differently both times. Probably with my son it was major baby blues, so I was just so emotional over things that I probably wouldn't be that emotional about [typically].”
Jenner went ahead to address all the hate comments she has to encounter on social media on a daily basis. “No matter what I'm going through or what I look like or what the internet writes about me that day, I come home and my kids just love me unconditionally. They're just obsessed with me and that’s taught me to walk through life a little easier," she expressed. "I'm like, 'OK, well I have these little humans at home that need me and love me and think I'm the most perfect person in the world, so I don't really need validation from outside sources.'”
