While appearing on theCall Her Daddypodcast on Wednesday, Feb. 12, the pregnant mom of three, 32, opened up about her postpartum experience, admitting that she didn’t immediately feel a bond with her daughter Wyatt, now 5.

As she discussed postpartum with host Alex Cooper, Kylie — who shares daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 23 months, with husbandJason Kelce— said that she couldn’t fathom the idea of going through postpartum without having other women around.

“I just can’t imagine feeling the feelings that I felt and not having women around me to be like, ‘That’s not abnormal. You are having the same…’ " she said, trailing off. “Because when I brought home our first, you like give birth. My husband leaves the hospital the next morning to go to work.”

“I always tell moms, especially first-time moms, that six to eight weeks when they start to smile at you on purpose, like, ‘Oh we’re cool, there is a connection here.’ Because before that, they are a blob. They cry, they poop, they eat, they sleep. That’s it,” Kylie added.
