Chrissy Teigen and her husband, John Legend, recently welcomed their third child, Esti Maxine Stephens, early this month. The new mom is relishing the moment as she got candid with her almost 41 million followers about dealing with post-partum recovery.
Swipe for all the details.
If you are an ardent follower of the mom of three, you already know she frequently gets honest about her personal experiences. A good example was when she lost her 20 weeks old pregnancy in 2020.
Although devastating, Chrissy didn't mince words when she spoke about what it felt like.
Chrissy confessed that she had a medical abortion rather than a miscarriage, as she had previously believed. A medical abortion occurs when medication induces labor in pregnancies with birth abnormalities or other difficulties.
Chrissy offered the following details about her terrible experience at Propper Daley's
Day of Unreasonable Conversation workshop in September:
“It became very clear around halfway through that [the baby] would not survive, and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention.”
Let's call it what it was, Chrissy continued, "An abortion." a life-saving abortion for a baby who had no chance at all. She never connected the dots until a few months ago," she claimed, adding that she was really "frustrated" with herself for not realizing it earlier.
Several fans responded to the news on Twitter by praising Chrissy for her open admission at the time and protecting her against trolls who questioned her and said that she was lying about the entire situation.
Chrissy announced that she was expecting again in August last year, over two years after losing her first child. And earlier this month, she and John welcomed a girl into the world, their third child. Since then, the mom of three has been taking her fans along on her postpartum journey and revealed that she delivered her third child via C-section.
After a few days, Chrissy gave another open report on her postpartum recovery. Chrissy posted a full-length picture of herself posing in a silk dress and warm cardigan which she paired with a hat and tanned boots. She captioned;
"omw to bandage together both my wound and 3.8 second clips of Beyonce performing in Dubai until I get a full hbo special."
And Chrissy's image immediately resonated with followers as several people pointed out the numerous breast milk stains all over her clothes. But many followers instantly complimented Chrissy for her sincere message, saying she had "normalized leaking through anything."

The milk spots add an extra layer of authenticity to this 🔥😂
Another user added;
Love that you are normalizing leaking through everything in the first weeks postpartum. You wake up at night and you’re like “Is it pee? Is it milk? Or is it sweat?” So many body fluid options 😂. Thank you for sharing. Would love to have you on our breastfeeding podcast if you want to talk about that part of your life ❤️
Chrissy stated the house is busy, and their family couldn't be happier while announcing the birth of her newborn.
