“Every glance in the mirror reminds me of what could have been.”
Chrissy Teigen Says It’s ‘Frustrating’ She Still Has a Baby Bump After Her Pregnancy Loss
In September, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their son, Jack, to pregnancy complications, and they’ve been incredibly open about their grieving process. In a new Instagram post, Teigen reflected on the physical signs that remain from her pregnancy and revealed she does not plan to become pregnant again.
“This is me and my body, just yesterday. Even though I’m no longer pregnant, every glance in the mirror reminds me of what could have been. And I have no idea why I still have this bump, honestly. It’s frustrating,” she wrote on December 23. “But I’m 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. But I am lucky to have two amazing little ones who are transforming into big little people more and more every single day. Anyhoo. Love u guys. Xx”
“When I’m old and grey, I will look back on the last two months as being brutal, exhausting, sad, physically challenging, mentally painful bitches of a couple months,” Teigen also wrote on IG in November. “But I refuse to not find humor in both the rage-fits and the outfits.”
She continued in the same post, “I already see the leaves as orange instead of grey, realized the sky is indeed blue and not black and horn honks on my forced morning walks only bring me to my knees half the time. I can make it up my stairs only stopping once or twice instead of every other, and can get out of the bathtub all by myself as long as I have the promise John will dry me off. Anyhow the point is, fuuuuuuuuuuuck, I think it’s happening.”
We know the holidays can be tough for those who are experiencing loss, and we hope Chrissy Teigen’s family has some brighter times ahead.
