Kylie Jenner is taking us down memory lane, and it turns out being the world’s most famous "teen mom" wasn't all sunshine and hidden baby bumps.
The 28-year-old beauty mogul sat down with Jake Shane on the "Therapuss" podcast, and the revelations have fans doing a double-take at the timeline.
We all know Jenner went full ghost mode to protect her energy back then, but she’s finally admitting that the real "scary hours" weren't the paparazzi; it was the moment she had to break the news to her parents, Kris and Caitlyn Jenner.
“I was 19 when I got pregnant. I was freaking out. Yeah, I was freaking out. I was really scared to tell my parents,” Kylie shared.
Despite the nerves, King Kylie knew what she wanted.
“But there was something just inside of me that knew that I wanted to do this, and I had to make a decision for myself... And even if I have to do this alone, however, this is the choice that I'm going to make.”
Fans on social media are currently having a collective existential crisis, realising just how young she was, with one commenter saying: "Damn, I remember her being young, but I didn’t know it was this young, whoa."
Looking back, Kylie explained that her 2017 hiatus was a survival tactic. “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 finally dropping the news on February 4, 2018, the weight of the secret hit her hard.
She said she “sobbed for three hours because it felt like so much weight on my shoulders,” adding that 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.’”
While Stormi was a "breeze", pregnancy number two with her son, Aire, was a total 180.

Kylie got incredibly candid about the physical toll, admitting, “I have had chronic back pain for like three and a half years. It's just starting to get better. But my son, my last pregnancy, it really took me out.”
The symptoms were no joke, and Jenner recalled waking up 12 weeks in and realising, “Oh, I really can't walk.”
“I had like crazy Sciatica pain and crazy lower back pain,” she remembered.
“I couldn’t leave my bed anyway because I was like in so much back pain and Sciatica pain. I was three centimetres 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'.”
She even joked that she “ate a pint of ice cream every night” because her nausea was so "horrible" if she didn't eat.
She revealed that she gained 27kgs while pregnant with Stormi and was 90kgs when she gave birth, and 95kgs while pregnant with Aire, after gaining 29kgs while pregnant the second time around.
