Kylie Kelce reveals ‘infuriating’ symptoms as she nears ‘bitter end’ of pregnancy
Kylie Kelce says her fourth pregnancy feels no different than the previous three.
The 33-year-old podcaster, who already shares three daughters with retired NFL center Jason Kelce, 37, is opening up about some of her worst symptoms as she awaits baby No. 4’s arrival.
And one of those symptoms had her rather upset.

“I will say she has dropped in a little bit, so I can eat again,” Kelce said in a March 24 clip posted to her “Not Gonna Lie” YouTube channel.
She goes on to explain that her incoming daughter’s butt was so high up in her stomach that she would only be able to eat a few bites of her food before giving up and putting the plate back in the fridge.
“Coming from a hungry pregnant woman, that’s frustrating,” she said, further describing herself as “hangry” often.
“Infuriating,” she continued. “Absolutely infuriating.”
As she nears what she describes as the “bitter end” of her pregnancy, Kelce says her inability to eat isn’t even the worst of it.
Her worst symptom? Insomnia.
“I was awake from 2 a.m. until 6:30 a.m. for no reason whatsoever,” she says in the clip, noting that her husband rolled over numerous times throughout the night to ask what she was doing.
According to the National Institutes of Health, insomnia is characterized by “trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting good quality sleep.”
“I couldn’t tell you why I couldn’t sleep, but for 4½ hours it was just me, myself, (and) my thoughts, which is lovely. Just lovely,” she joked.
Even her productive thoughts, like doing a load of laundry, would get replaced by her false hope of eventually falling asleep.
“The good news is that my alarm went off at 6:45, so it was a nice 15 minutes. Power nap,” she quipped.
Aside from her eating habits and insomnia, Kelce also says she’s having trouble breathing — especially when sitting — and is missing some of her favorite foods due to acid reflux.
“I would love to eat some spicy foods,” she continues on her podcast. “I would like to put Hank’s hot sauce — if you know, you know — on some avocado (and) scoop it with a tortilla chip.”
Acid reflux is a condition where stomach contents, including acid, flow back up into the esophagus.
According to the University of Chicago Medicine, “nine out of 10 pregnant patients develop symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by their third trimester.”
“I can’t have hot sauce…” Kelce says in dismay.
“I can’t because I would then breathe fire for three days,” she continues. “It’s the miracle of life. It’s so beautiful.”
Another thing she can’t do? Tie her own shoes.
“I want to be clear: I don’t usually tie my shoes. But this is the point in time where I’m not tying my shoes,” she explains in the March 24 clip.
She then mean-mugs the camera at the thought of someone telling her to tie her shoes.
“I’m not gonna do it,” she continues. “And the fact that you looked at my belly and thought to yourself, ‘You know what’s probably easy for her? Tying her shoes...’”
Kylie and Jason Kelce announced their fourth pregnancy in a relatable Nov. 22 Instagram post with their three daughters — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2.
“I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister,” she wrote in the caption. “At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!”
Kylie Kelce is due any day now, hinting that she was “nearly nine months pregnant” during the March 6 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast.
