Kylie Kelce Stands Firm Against Birth Critics
Kylie Kelce, known for her candid nature, recently shared her thoughts on birth plans during an episode of her podcast, ‘Not Gonna Lie.’ With the anticipation of her fourth child’s arrival, she confidently addressed criticisms surrounding epidurals and C-sections, labeling such opinions as uninformed and hurtful.
Defending the Choice of Epidurals
On her podcast, Kelce humorously expressed her choice for an epidural with the quip, “I just want a fat needle in my back.” She passionately countered the dismissive narrative that medicated births aren’t authentic. “People who dismiss birth with an epidural as being not a true birth experience, I can promise you from the bottom of my heart, I felt every part of labor,” she emphasized, advocating for mothers who choose pain management during labor.
Standing Up for C-Sections
Kelce was equally vocal about defending C-sections. She addressed critics with strong language, advocating for women who undergo such procedures. “The person you’re speaking to just grew a human being and for whatever reason that little baby needed to come out the front, not the bottom. You know whose business that is? Not yours,” Kelce asserted, highlighting the judgement women face over birthing methods.
Kylie, herself born via C-section, argued that any form of childbirth is valid, recalling her mother’s experience with her own large birth weight. “You think that when I was 12 pounds, one ounce and I had to come out the front in on my 5-foot-2 mother that she didn’t experience birth? I will kick your ass in honor of Lisa,” she declared.
The Realities of C-Sections
Kelce elaborated on the challenges accompanying C-sections, describing it as a “massive abdominal surgery.” “Abdominal surgery to get out the human life that they just built. I can’t believe that people say that,” she said. “I dare you to say that within earshot of me,” reinforcing her protective stance over mothers who opt for this birth choice.
Kylie’s Personal Birthing Plans
As her due date approaches, Kelce detailed her personal birthing plan, which involves watching shows during labor and following hospital medical staff’s advice as opposed to having a set music playlist. She expressed her trust in the professionals, saying, “I truly believe that labor and delivery nurses are angels that have descended from heaven and landed on Earth.”
Moreover, Kylie Kelce humorously shared her method for inducing labor: sprinting. “I’ve said it multiple times to anyone that I’ve spoken to. I’m doing sprints next week,” she revealed, emphasizing her determination with, “You can’t stop me.”
Conclusion
Kylie Kelce’s unfiltered comments highlight the pressure many women face regarding their birth plans. By boldly speaking against the criticisms surrounding medically assisted births and C-sections, she encourages a more supportive dialogue for expectant mothers to make choices that best suit their individual needs without judgment.
