Two months after Chrissy Teigen lost her baby while she was 5 months pregnant, the model is reflecting on her postpartum body and her future.
In an Instagram post, the model shared a recent photo of herself; noting that her belly acts as a constant and “frustrating” reminder of “what could have been.”
Still, she added, she’s “proud of where this entire journey took my body and mind in other ways.”
“I love being pregnant, so so much, and I’m sad I never will be again,” Chrissy Teigen continued. “But I am lucky to have two amazing little ones who are transforming into big little people more and more every single day.”
Teigen, 35, and her husband, singer John Legend, 41, revealed in August that they were expecting their third child; whom they conceived naturally following years of infertility struggles. Previously, they’d welcomed their two children, Luna, 4, and Miles, 2, via in vitro fertilization.
However, this pregnancy was especially complicated. In late September, following weeks of bed rest, the Cravings cookbook author shared that she had been hospitalized due to excessive bleeding caused by her placenta.
Days later, she revealed that despite all the medical interventions; they weren’t able to save the baby she and Legend had named Jack. Read about it here.
