Kylie Kelce’s Raw and Real Take on Pregnancy: From Nausea to Cravings
Kylie Kelce, wife of NFL star Jason Kelce, is known for her honesty and down-to-earth approach, and her new podcast, “Not Gonna Lie,” is no exception. In her debut episode, she dives headfirst into a topic many moms-to-be can relate to, offering a refreshingly candid perspective on the joys and challenges of pregnancy.
Grateful, Exhausted, and “Zero Out of 10”
“I always say I am so incredibly grateful to be able to get pregnant. Unbelievably grateful,” Kylie shares, acknowledging the privilege and challenges of conception. “I have realized in my adult life that it is not as easy to get pregnant as we were originally led on to believe in high school. Okay, you can’t just look at someone and there it goes. It’s not that easy. And so I am so incredibly grateful to be able to get pregnant. But it is a means to an end.”
This sentiment—a mixture of profound gratitude and the harsh reality of pregnancy’s physical and emotional toll—is one many moms can understand. For Kylie, those tolls are immense. And she doesn’t hold back on describing them.
“When I tell you that I cannot stand being pregnant, I mean it; it, I don’t have a fun time,” Kylie confesses. “I am nauseous for most of my pregnancy. It tapers off a little after the first trimester. For every single one, has been the same; it tapers off a little bit, but I continue to have nausea throughout my pregnancy. I have had more aversions than cravings for every pregnancy.”
Unsolicited Advice and the Reality of Pregnancy
Then there are the dreaded unsolicited comments, a universal experience for many pregnant women. “When you’re super pregnant and someone comes up to you and says, ‘Oh, isn’t this just the most beautiful thing ever?’ I want to punch you in the face,” she quips. “I’m not going to, but I want to.” It’s this raw honesty, delivered with Kylie’s signature humor, that makes her perspective so compelling.
Despite the discomfort, Kylie’s love for her growing family shines through. She sums up her feelings with a trademark blend of wit and candor: “Zero out of 10, don’t recommend.”
Finding the Silver Lining: Pregnancy Cravings and Community
Still, Kylie knows pregnancy isn’t all bad—especially when it comes to indulging in cravings. She’s even inviting her audience to join the fun. “I would love to hear what some of yours are,” she says. “I do find, especially this pregnancy, that sometimes when people say something, usually it’s not a funky pregnancy craving. It’s just a specific food that I then want it. So maybe we can set off some cravings. Tag me on TikTok with some of your pregnancy cravings. I would love to see what they are. Maybe we can even try some out.”
Kylie’s honest and relatable take on pregnancy is a welcome reminder that it’s okay to feel a range of emotions—gratitude, exhaustion, humor, and everything in between. Her willingness to share her experience, both the good and the not-so-good, creates a sense of community and understanding for other expectant moms, proving that even through nausea and unsolicited advice, there’s room for laughter and connection.

**Interviewer:** And you’ve certainly documented some of the not-so-fun parts, like the nausea.
**Kylie Kelce:** Oh my gosh, the nausea! It’s brutal. It really lasts for most of my pregnancies. It may ease up a little after the first trimester, but it’s still there. I’m not one of those lucky women who just glides through pregnancy.
**Interviewer:** You’ve talked about how being pregnant is ”a means to an end.” Can you elaborate on that?
**Kylie Kelce:** Absolutely. I’m so excited to welcome my fourth daughter into the world. But pregnancy itself? It’s tough. I’m exhausted, my body feels out of whack, and yeah, the nausea doesn’t help. But knowing there’s this amazing little person waiting at the end makes it all worthwhile.
**Interviewer:** You’re definitely not alone in those feelings. It’s wonderful that you’re sharing your experience so openly.
**Kylie Kelce:** I hope it helps other expectant moms feel seen and understood. Pregnancy is a journey, and it’s okay to not love every minute of it!
