Kylie Kelce recalls pregnancy fears after miscarriage

Kylie Kelce was scared to get pregnant again after suffering a miscarriage.

Kylie Kelce was “terrified” to get pregnant after suffering a miscarriage.

The 34-year-old podcaster – who has daughters Wyatt, six, Elliotte, five, Bennett, three, and 16-month-old Finnley with husband Jason Kelce – experienced a loss before having her first child and even when she got pregnant again, she spent the first few months terrified she would miscarry again.

Answering fan questions on her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie said when asked if she was scared to get pregnant again after her miscarriage: “Yes, Sarah. I was terrified.

“Even when we got pregnant, I then, every single week was looking up what are the chances that this pregnancy sticks?

“And then once I got into my second trimester, towards the end of my second trimester, because I was still Googling at the beginning of my second trimester, like, what are the chances I get to meet this baby?

“At the end of my second trimester, I flipped it. And I then asked the question, what are the chances that if I had the baby today that the baby could survive?”

During her subsequent pregnancies, Kylie continued to feel worried about the possibility of another miscarriage, but she’s ultimately thankful she didn’t give up on her dreams of having a family.

She said: “I think that sits with you forever. I had those same feelings through the rest of my pregnancies. You experienced a loss and it’s okay to have that grief sit with you. That is going to be something that might pop up when you least expect it.

“But if I had not tried again, I would not have Wyatt. So I think that sometimes you have to go at the hard thing and try again.”

In October, Kylie admitted the emotional pain of suffering a miscarriage “still hurts”.

Speaking on her podcast, she said: “I emphasise the fact that this still hurts after having four children, because it does. And it’s okay.”

The podcaster told how everything “went into slow motion” when she learned during her doctor’s appointment that she had miscarried.

She said: “It felt like everything went into slow motion. And they could not find the baby on the doppler.

“I remember being like, ‘Oh, there isn’t a heartbeat. You didn’t find one because there isn’t one.’

“They estimated that the baby had stopped developing between, I believe it was nine and 10 weeks. Essentially, I had had what you would refer to as a missed miscarriage. It means that your body did not realize that the pregnancy was no longer viable.”

Kylie was initially afraid to tell Jason because it was his birthday.

She cried as she said: “It was a s***** day because it was Jason’s birthday.

“I called my mom and told her that I couldn’t tell Jason because it was his birthday, which seems very silly. It seems very silly because obviously I’m going to tell my husband what happened. And I did. And it was hard for both of us.”
