Ahead of Jenner welcoming her daughter Stormi with her now ex, Travis Scott, she said she was very nervous about telling her parents, Kris and Caitlin Jenner.
Speaking to Jake Shane on the Therapuss podcast, she recalled the fear: “I was 19 when I got pregnant, I was freaking out."
She reiterated: "Yeah, I was freaking out. I was really scared to tell my parents," but insisted she knew she 'wanted to do this' and that she had to 'make a decision' for herself.
“What do I really want? What can I handle? And even if I have to do this alone, or however, this is the choice I’m going to make,” she continued.
"I told my mom. No one was angry at me. It was a crazy time," she said.
She also explained her decision to hide her first pregnancy: “I really didn’t leave the house. I felt like, at the time, you know, reflecting back to it, I felt like I was protecting myself. And I was, in a way."
After sharing the reveal video, she said she 'sobbed for three hours because it felt like so much weight on my shoulders.'
She said the pregnancy was 'just a big thing that I was hiding from the world. And I was worried about everyone’s reactions, it was just so emotional. And I’m like, ‘Maybe next time I wouldn’t do that.'”
One fan exclaimed: "Damn I remember her being young but I didn’t know it was this young woah."
"I'm not sure why, but I feel like I remember her being 21/22. Teen pregnancy is kinda crazy", added another.
"I thought she was around 25 when she had stormi????" said one shocked commenter.
She also opened up about the realities of pregnancy and childbirth: "I have had chronic back pain for like three and a half years. It's just starting to get better," Jenner said on the podcast. "But my son, my last pregnancy, it like really took me out."
"It was like 12 weeks into the pregnancy. I just woke up one day and I'm like 'Oh, I really can't walk.' And I had like crazy Sciatica pain and crazy lower back pain," she recalled..
She said her first pregnancy was 'a breeze' in comparison
"I couldn't leave my bed anyway because I was like in so much back pain and Sciatica pain. I was three centimeters dilated for like a month and a half, two months. The baby was like falling out. And my doctor's like, 'you have to stay in bed.'"
