The Way Kristin Cavallari Got Her Milk Ducts Unclogged Will High Key Surprise You

Becoming a mom is truly a wild ride.

On one hand, people are constantly trying to force their parenting opinions on you for things like 'music to play for your unborn fetus' and 'types of socks your baby should never wear.'

On the other, you quickly learn that life with children is full of things that literally no one told you about.

Motherhood isn't always glamorous—even for celebrities.

Some people choose to only portray an immaculate image of their lives on social media. Think baby photo shoots where everyone is wearing white and no one has even a little bit of vomit on them. How is that even possible?

Others choose not to shy away from the good, the bad, and the odd when sharing details of their lives.

Reality TV Star Kristin Cavallari has been very candid about her experiences as a mom.

The mother of three showcases the trials and tribulations of her daily life on her E Network show Very Cavallari.

Despite how 'unreal' some reality TV shows may be, Cavallari is particularly open and honest to her audience, showing them both the good and bad of her hectic routine.

She and her husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, frequently share intimate details of their family life.

When the cameras are on, they're on.

Cavallari doesn't shy away from talking about very personal aspects of her parenting journey and marriage.

Every post is shared with the 3.5 million Instagram followers on her personal page, meaning that once something's out there, everyone knows about it.

In the teaser trailer for the second season of "Very Cavallari," Kristin reveals that she experienced clogged milk ducts.

Stanford Children’s Health explains that clogged ducts can occur in breastfeeding women if “a mother goes too long without emptying her breasts, or if insufficient milk is removed during feedings.”

Though the issue can cause a lot of discomfort, is can normally be eased through breastfeeding or milk pumping.

Unfortunately, Cavallari's case was not an easy one to solve.

In some circumstances, clogged milk ducts will not unclog on their own.

Kristin's Cavallari's pain and discomfort got to the point where she could barely function.

She had tried pretty much every option available to her, and she quickly became desperate for any kind of relief.

Until one day, her husband came up with a solution.

I mean, sometimes you have to try everything, right?

Jay Cutler ended up saving the day, by using a method that none of us expected.

He unclogged her milk ducts by "sucking harder than he's ever sucked"

Yeah, you read that right.

In the Season 2 teaser, Cavallari recounts the event to friends at a dinner party, who scream of laughter and surprise.

Cavallari says her husband's forward thinking "saved her life."

Honestly, that's some real relationship dedication right there.

Sure, it may be a bit of an unorthodox thing to share with the world, but it's 2019, and we need to stop automatically branding anything to do with breastfeeding and woman's health as "gross" or "inappropriate."

We're glad she's feeling better!
