Kelly Clarkson tearfully talks about tough pregnancies: ‘Asked God to just take me and my son’

Kelly Clarkson tearfully reflected on difficult moments in her pregnancies on Monday’s episode of her daytime talk show.

During a chat with guest Hillary Clinton about the Arizona Supreme Court’s decision to reinstate a near-total abortion ban from 1864, the “American Idol” alum — who shares daughter River, 9, and son Remington, 8, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock — surprised herself by getting emotional over previous complications.

“I have been pregnant twice, hospitalized both times,” Clarkson, 41, told Clinton, 76.

“I mean, literally, I asked God — this is a real thing — to just take me and my son, in the hospital the second time because I was like — it’s the worst thing,” Clarkson revealed as her eyes welled up with tears.

“I didn’t know I’d get emotional, sorry,” the “Thankful” songstress admitted, looking off camera and seemingly giving her crew the “cut it out” hand gesture — which they appear to have agreed to as this portion of the conversation has been edited out of the clip posted to “The Kelly Clarkson Show” YouTube channel.

“It’s OK, because you’re speaking for so many,” the former Secretary of State swooped in to give the singer a breather. “You’re speaking for literally millions of women in our country and around the world.”

Clarkson interjected claiming it feels cruel “to make some woman go through that.”

“It was my decision [to deliver kids], and I’m so glad I did it. I mean, I love my babies,” she continued. “You don’t realize how hard it is.”

“The fact that you would take that [decision to choose] away from someone — that can literally kill them. The fact if they’re raped … by their family member … and they have to — like that, it’s just like insane to me,” Clarkson said.

The Post has contacted reps for Clarkson for comment.

In 2015, Clarkson told CBS This Morning about her difficult pregnancies, saying, “I’m familiar with all-day sickness. I have to get IVs and fluids because I get so dehydrated. It’s really bad.”

The “Since U Been Gone” singer has primary custody of her kids and moved them from Los Angeles to New York City — along with her Emmy-winning gab show — last fall.

“After just a few weeks, I genuinely love it, and I love that my kids love it,” Clarkson confessed about life in the Big Apple in October.
