"Although there were rumors that she was pregnant, nothing was confirmed until she broke the news herself after Stormi's birth."

[5 I understand that I am used to having you accompany me on all my journeys," she later wrote on Instagram (opens in new tab)." My pregnancy was something I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew I needed to prepare myself for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress-free and healthy way I knew how"

"There were no messy moments or big-budget unveilings like I had planned," she continued.

"I knew my baby would feel every stress and emotion, so I chose this method for the sake of my little life and our happiness."

She said, "I thought it would be better for us if Stormi and I kept a low profile. 'Your hormones are going crazy and your emotions are more heightened,' she said. 'I figured it would be better for me to do it privately and enjoy the whole experience. I thought it was a sacred and special moment and I wasn't ready to share it with everyone. I just wanted to keep it to myself." Good point, Kylie
