Kylie Jenner experienced the "baby blues" in the weeks after she welcomed her son.
The reality TV star and her boyfriend Travis Scott welcomed a baby boy in February, a sibling for their four-year-old daughter Stormi. Kylie has not yet announced the name of the tot.
During the latest episode of The Kardashians, the 25-year-old opened up to her older sister Kendall Jenner about how she had a "really hard" time after giving birth to her second child.
"I cried non-stop all day for the first three weeks. It's just the baby blues and then it kinda goes away. I had it with Stormi too," she shared, adding that she would sometimes cry so much that her head would "hurt". "I'm not a doctor, but I read on Google they call it 'baby blues' when it doesn't last past six weeks. After about six weeks, I started to feel better, but I definitely had a case of the blues."
Following childbirth, many women experience the "baby blues" or low mood as a result of sudden hormonal and chemical changes in the body. It differs from postnatal depression, whereby a new mother begins to battle increasing depression and anxiety, amid other symptoms.
"I'm feeling better and not crying every day so that's great. I don't have bad days with my body, I have bad days mentally and I need my first night out," the make-up maven added.
