And that taught me a lot. Because you think you’re invincible, I’m just gonna pop out another baby and then you don’t and it becomes a little bit of a struggle. But when she came it was just so amazing too. And it made me realize appreciation.” She added:“I think a lot of that lesson too was how much I appreciated and then sat in awe of all the other times I had done it and thought wow this is not just so easy for everybody.”Kris continued:“And by that time when Kylie came along, I also (felt) appreciation and just joy. And I got gestational diabetes very badly and I gained about 100 pounds.”Thankfully, it seems like Kris Jenner was able to surmount her past health struggles as she continues to look and project herself as younger by the day.Kris Jenner on “controversial” pregnancies, moreIn another recent podcast appearance, Kris Jenner went into detail about how her final two pregnancies were seen by some as somewhat controversial.
