Kylie Jenner candidly shared her experience with postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter Stormi Webster, 6, and her two-year-old son, Eir Webster.
The 27-year-old recently opened up to British Vogue about her journey as a young mother and shared details of her postpartum depression, which lasted about a year after the birth of each of her children, whom she shares with ex Travis Scott.
«I'm turning 27, and I finally feel like myself again», - Jenner told the magazine. «And [looking back], I think being pregnant, I wore sweatpants every day, I didn’t have time to figure out even some of the small things in my life, and then postpartum was a year. Mentally it’s very difficult. Hormonally it’s very difficult».
Jenner mentioned that she always acted older than her age, so she didn’t fully realize how young she was — she was only 20 when she first got pregnant.
«It was wild… It didn’t hit me right away. But it was a huge life change», - she admitted.
Despite the duration of her postpartum depression being roughly the same after both births, Jenner revealed that the symptoms were even more intense the second time, causing her «strong postpartum depressions».
«It affected me differently both times», - explained the Kardashian star. «Maybe with my son, it was strong postpartum depressions, so I was so emotional about things that I probably wouldn’t have been so emotional about. I spent the whole day on the phone with my mom, hysterically crying, saying, 'I can’t come up with a name for him.'»
The beauty mogul continued: «Now my advice to all my friends expecting babies is to choose a name in advance, because when you’re hit with hormones, you can’t make decisions. You can’t».
The mother of two admitted that she felt like a «failure» when she couldn’t name her son.
«When I met him, he was just the most beautiful creature to me, and I couldn’t believe how perfect he was. I was so ashamed that I couldn’t name him», - she said. «He deserved so much more than that. It really hurt me».
Since welcoming her eldest, Kylie Cosmetics founder has come to appreciate even more the balance and perspective that her children bring to her daily life.
«No matter what I’m going through or how I look or what the internet writes about me that day», - she noted, «I come home, and my kids just unconditionally love me. They’re just obsessed with me, and it’s taught me to navigate life easier. I think, 'Okay, I have these little people at home who need me and love me and think I’m the most perfect person in the world, so I really don’t need approval from the outside.'»
