Chrissy Teigen is continuing to recover from her heartbreaking loss last fall. This week would have been Chrissy's due date for her third pregnancy, which ended in miscarriage at 20 weeks.
Both Chrissy and husband John Legend have opened up about the complicated emotions that came with the pregnancy loss. Chrissy admitted that she's feeling that more this week with the due date looming. She also shared that she's having surgery for endometriosis.
Chrissy's honesty about the pain of losing baby Jack has been met with some criticism, but for many women, it is refreshing. Her continued sharing of this journey may seem excessive to some, but for women who have experienced the same silently and felt unheard, it's one of the few comforts there are.
Chrissy Teigen is continuing to deal with the aftermath of pregnancy loss. On Wednesday, Chrissy revealed that this week was her due date for baby Jack.
"my little jack would have been born this week so I'm a bit off. I truly feel kicks in my belly, but it's not phantom," she tweeted.
"I have surgery for endometriosis tomorrow…" Chrissy also revealed, "but the period feeling this month is exactly like baby kicks. Sigh."
Many people sent love Chrissy's way after the tweet.
Chrissy also shared a video that showed little movements near her belly button — "look at this ," she wrote. "I'll pretend it's him saying hi – it never stops."
Many of Chrissy's fan urged her to take care of herself during this difficult time.
Chrissy then asked fans to share their endometriosis surgery experiences. As you can imagine, there were as many unique experiences as there were people who replied. While some people recovered pretty quickly, others needed some time to get back on their feet.
Chrissy has updated fans on the highs and lows of her past few months. In November, she got real about the highs and lows after celebrating Thanksgiving.
"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," she shared. "But I refuse to not find humor in both the rage-fits and the outfits."
That same month, Chrissy explained to People that she was still figuring out how to be OK.
"You learn how to cope with it," she noted. "I am very proud to say that there's multiple different therapies I'm using to hopefully become the same person that I was, and I'm okay with that."
In December, Chrissy shared a shot of her body along with her thoughts about it, knowing she'd never carry a child 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.
"But I'm proud of where this entire journey took my body and mind in other ways," she continued.
"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."
