Chrissy Teigen has been hospitalized after facing a “scary” complication during her pregnancy, as she noticed excessive bleeding from her placenta.
On Sunday evening, Teigen, who is pregnant with her third child, a boy, revealed through a series of posts on her Instagram Story that she is in the hospital after weeks of bed rest due to the complication.
The 34-year-old model said that she is halfway through her pregnancy and that her bleeding issues have been going on for a “little less than a month.”
“We’re talking more than your period, girls, but definitely not spotting,” she said. “A lot of people spot and it’s usually fine. But mine was a lot.”
“Every time I’d go to the bathroom it would be blood, but honestly, just laying there would be blood,” she added. “But today the big difference was that it kind of was like you were to turn a faucet on to low and leave it there. … It was at the point today where it was like never stopping.”
Teigen also revealed that the situation is “so weird because I feel really good,” adding she is “usually at my happiest pregnant, mood-wise.”
“That way I feel happier than I do not pregnant. That’s why it’s so, so hard for me to come to terms with,” she said.
Teigen went on to say, “The baby is so healthy, growing stronger than Luna or Miles.”
“He moves a lot,” the cookbook author continued. “He’s moved so much earlier than they ever did. He’s like a rollie pollie. We have like a million great pictures of him. He’s just so different than they were. So he’s so strong and I’m just so excited for him because he’s so wonderful and just the strongest little dude, so I can’t wait for him.”
Teigen and her husband, John Legend, also share daughter Luna, 4, and son Miles, 2.
During her hospital stay, Teigen revealed that her husband stayed in the room with her, where he made her very own sandwich. She shared, “John is doing a bedside sandwich tutorial from my new nightstand.”
