Kylie Kelce shuts down C-section stigma in podcast



“The person you’re speaking to just grew a human being,” Kylie Kelce said during her latest podcast episode of “Not Gonna Lie.” “You know whose business that is? Not (expletive) yours.”

Kylie Kelce, who is 38 weeks pregnant, has birth plans on the mind − understandably − and is taking the time to call out those who dismiss different experiences.

“I’ve seen a number of triggering comments over the weekend on certain TikToks where people have been told by relatives or other people in their (lives) that because they had an emergency C-section or a C-section that was scheduled, that they did not experience birth,” Kelce, wife of retired NFL player Jason Kelce, said in this week’s episode of her podcast, “Not Gonna Lie.”

Kelce, who is pregnant with her fourth child, said she has not and does not plan on having a cesarean section, the surgical procedure to deliver a baby through the abdomen, rather than vaginally, but she didn’t hesitate to protect individuals who do.

“I’m trying to be nice. No, never mind. Go (expletive) yourself,” Kelce said. “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 (expletive) yours.”

In the podcast, episode, Kelce shares that her mother gave birth to her through a cesarean section.

“You think that when I was 12 pounds, 1 ounce and I had to come out the front in my 5-foot-2 mother, that she didn’t experience birth? I will kick your a–,” Kelce said with a chuckle.

In 2022, 32.1% of births delivered in the U.S. were by cesarean section, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This figure increased from 2020, yet the cesarean delivery rate peaked in 2009 at 32.9%.

What’s Kylie Kelce’s birth plan?

As for her own upcoming plan, Kelce said she plans to give birth with the help of an epidural. And she didn’t give time for haters to sneak in, either.

“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. Thank you. I knew what was happening. I could feel everything,” she said.
