Kylie Jenner Says Second Pregnancy Led to Bed Rest and Years of Back Pain

Her account spotlights maternal health struggles shaped by fame and privacy pressures.

Overview

  • Kylie Jenner, on Wednesday’s Therapuss podcast, said she woke at about 12 weeks pregnant unable to walk due to severe sciatica and lower-back pain.
  • She said doctors found she was roughly three centimeters dilated for six to eight weeks and ordered strict bed rest because “the baby was falling out.”
  • Jenner said the episode triggered chronic back pain that lasted around three and a half years and is only now beginning to improve.
  • She recalled keeping her first pregnancy at 19 private and being “really scared” to tell her parents, who she says were supportive once she shared the news.
  • Coverage on Thursday widely highlighted her remarks as personal testimony, with outlets noting the medical details come from her statements rather than independent records.
