Kylie Jenner opens up about postpartum struggles

Immediately following the birth of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott‘s second child, Wolf Jacques, on February 2, Kylie’s father Caitlyn Jenner gave an update on how she was doing. Speaking on Good Morning Britain in the same month, Caitlyn said: ‘They’re great. Kylie’s doing great, everybody’s doing good.’

However, Kylie Jenner has since opened up about her postpartum struggles, revealing that life has actually been ‘very hard’ after Welcoming Wolf, and that being a mum this time round has felt differently to when she had her first child, four-year-old daughter Stormi.
Taking to Instagram, the 24-year-old spoke candidly about her hardship, saying: ‘I just want to say to my postpartum mums that postpartum has not been easy. It’s not been easy, it’s very hard.
This experience for me, personally, has been a little harder than with my daughter. It’s not easy mentally, physically, spiritually.’

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum, who kept her first pregnancy under wraps but this time documented her journey via myriad Instagram snaps, continued: ‘It’s just crazy and, yeah, I didn’t want to just get back to life without saying that.’

Explaining her reasons for sharing her struggles, she added: ‘For other mums going through it right now, we can go on the internet and it might look a lot easier for other people and like put the pressure on us, but it hasn’t been easy for me either. It’s been hard and I just wanted to say that.’

Still, Jenner appears to be focussed on trying to channel a positive mindset, and she shared a different aspect of her postpartum journey during a workout post.

So I didn’t even think I’d make it to this workout today, but I’m here and I’m feeling better, so you got this. And it’s OK not to be OK,’ she said.

‘Once I realised that I was putting some pressure on myself and I just keep reminding myself I made a whole human, a beautiful healthy boy and we have to stop putting pressure on ourselves to be back, not even physically, just mentally after birth, so yeah. Just sending some love.

Prior to this, a source told People that Jenner’s daughter Stormi was ‘helping out with [her] baby brother’. They added: ‘She is the cutest big sister.’

After Jenner initially publicised her pregnancy via an emotional video clip, a source told The Sun: ‘Kylie and Travis have been laying low at home together, getting final preparations together for the arrival of their baby.’

The source added: ‘Travis has been very supportive the entirety of the pregnancy, but now he’s spending even more time with Kylie as a family.
