Kylie Kelce Opens Up About Heartbreaking Miscarriage During Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Kylie Kelce, the mother of four and wife of NFL star Jason Kelce, courageously shared her deeply emotional experience with miscarriage. Speaking candidly, Kylie opened up about the pain of losing a pregnancy, a loss that still affects her despite having had four children.

Kylie, known for her strong presence on social media and in the public eye, has always been open about her journey as a mother. Yet, her recent revelations about a miscarriage hit home for many. Kylie shared a deeply personal story, recalling a moment when she and Jason decided to surprise his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, with the news of their pregnancy. “We made it a point to surprise Jason’s mom and dad when we were there by pretending to take a photo and telling them that we were expecting,” Kylie said, her voice choking with emotion. She also shared how they surprised Jason’s Aunt Judy and his grandmother, Grandma Mary, with the joyous news, capturing those tender moments on video for future memories.

However, Kylie’s joy would soon turn to sorrow. Despite the happy surprises, the excitement of their growing family was soon marred by tragedy. Kylie, who is already a mom to daughters Wyatt (6), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and baby Finn (6 months), shared the painful truth about her miscarriage. “I emphasize the fact that this still hurts after having four children, because it does. And it’s okay,” Kylie confessed, highlighting the lasting emotional weight of the loss.

The Devastating Doctor’s Appointment

Kylie vividly recalled the moment she found out she had miscarried. “I remember going to my doctor’s appointment when I learned that I had miscarried. It felt like everything went into slow motion,” she explained. “And they could not find the baby on the doppler.”

With a heartbreaking clarity, Kylie described the moment she realized her worst fear was true: “I remember being like, ‘Oh, there isn’t a heartbeat. You didn’t find one because there isn’t one.’” The doctors confirmed that the baby had stopped developing between the ninth and tenth week of pregnancy. This type of loss, known as a “missed miscarriage,” occurs when the body does not recognize that the pregnancy is no longer viable, and the pregnancy continues without symptoms of loss.

For Kylie, the timing of the miscarriage was particularly painful. “It was a sh*t day because it was Jason’s birthday,” she said, tears welling in her eyes. “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.”

The Mental Toll of Miscarriage on Future Pregnancies

Kylie also spoke about the lasting impact of that first miscarriage on her subsequent pregnancies. “Having had that experience then messed with my brain for every consecutive pregnancy,” she admitted. Despite her excitement to welcome more children, the memory of that painful loss lingered.

For her first child, Wyatt, Kylie shared that she didn’t announce her pregnancy until after 20 weeks, a decision driven by the fear of loss. “For Wyatt, we did not share that we were pregnant until I was after 20 weeks,” she said. “For consecutive pregnancies, I waited till I was at least 16 weeks. I Googled almost every week what the percentage likelihood was that a baby could survive, which sounds really dark. I literally did it for Finn.”

Kylie’s honesty about her mental health during this time was a revelation for many, highlighting the psychological challenges of pregnancy after experiencing loss. Her story sheds light on the emotional rollercoaster many women face when navigating the uncertainty and anxiety that can come with pregnancy after a miscarriage.

A Message of Hope and Understanding

Kylie’s openness about the trauma of miscarriage, as well as the way it impacted her ability to fully enjoy subsequent pregnancies, has resonated deeply with many of her followers. Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month is an opportunity to remember the countless families affected by loss, and Kylie’s willingness to share her story provides a powerful message to others who may be grieving.

Her honesty serves as a reminder that, regardless of how many children a woman may have, the emotional scars of miscarriage can last. Yet, it is also a testament to the resilience that women like Kylie demonstrate in the face of adversity. Even in the darkest moments, there is a path forward, and Kylie’s journey as a mother, despite the losses, continues to inspire.

As she continues to raise her children and honor their shared story, Kylie Kelce’s experience with loss will undoubtedly help others feel less alone, offering both comfort and strength to those who have experienced similar heartache.
