Kylie Kelce has previously suffered from postpartum depression.
The 32-year-old star already has Wyatt, five, Elliotte, three, as well as21-month-old Bennett with retired NFL star Jason Kelce, 37, and while she and her husband are expecting the arrival of their fourth baby girl, she has admitted that she struggled with "severe baby blues" following the birth of her eldest.
Speaking on the 'Sunday Sports Club' podcast, she explained: "I have had periods of my life where I truly believe I was experiencing postpartum.
"I know with Wyatt that I had severe baby blues. We left the hospital, and I was like, 'So you're telling me this is mine?'
The influencer explained that it wasn't until Wyatt began to understand the concept of smiling that she relasied there was a "connection" between herself and her baby because up until that point the little one had spend every night crying relentlessly.
She said: "The biggest milestone for me with Wyatt was when she could smile on purpose. Because it showed that there was a connection. Most people will take their baby home, and it's sensationalised social media of, 'Look at how beautiful my baby is.' No my baby cried from bewitching hour at 8pm. until 4am if I wasn't holding her or if she wasn't on my boob."
Jason - who married Kylie in 2018 - previously admitted that he and his wife had discussed the idea of having more children, but insisted that the choice lay entirely with her.
He told People: "It's not my decision. We’ve talked about, before having kids, having certain numbers but I think whatever Kylie's comfortable with. We'll figure it out."
Prior to that, Kylie - who has become famous herself since her brother-in-law Travis Kelce started dating pop megastar Taylor Swift - noted that she and Jason "lucked out" in having three daughters but alluded to the possibility of having more babies as she admitted to having held onto various items of clothing in case a fourth baby was to come along.
She told The New Yorker: "We lucked out because we had three girls. We’re rotating through clothes we bought for our first daughter now to our youngest, so we have gone through a lot of hand-me-downs. Sometimes they’ll get stained or start to unravel at the edges because kids wear them a million times and you wash them a million times.
"The Hanna Anderson PJs last forever. We still have some packed up, just in case there ends up being a fourth. It is the best investment, and they have the best, best sales!"
