Chrissy Teigen says she'll 'never be pregnant again' in heartbreaking Instagram post
Chrissy Teigen has said that she will "never be pregnant again" in a heartbreaking new Instagram post following the loss of her third child back in October.
After taking a brief hiatus from social media, Chrissy returned to Instagram in November and has been candid about how she and her family have been adjusting to the loss of their unborn son, Jack, and coping with the process of bereavement ever since.
In the latest Instagram post shared with her 33.5 million followers, the 35-year-old model and presenter uploaded a selfie taken in her dressing room and gave her fans an update on her current state of mind.

In a lengthy caption, Chrissy wrote:
"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.
"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 [sic]"
Suffice it to say, a number of Chrissy's friends and fans, including her spouse himself, took to the comments to lend her their support.
This incident comes just a day after an emotional Chrissy shared a tearful video of herself following a couple's therapy session which she and John had attended together.
In a caption to the clip, Chrissy wrote:
"When I’m old and grey, I will look back on the last two months as being brutal, exhausting, sad, physically challenging, mentally painful b****** of a couple of months. But I refuse to not find humor in both the rage-fits and the outfits."

She continued: "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. [sic]"
She added: "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. [sic]"

Chrissy first revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage back in October - telling fans that she'd been rushed to the hospital after experiencing heavy bleeding.
In a statement posted to their social media accounts the day after her admission, Chrissy and husband John Legend broke the tragic news that their third child had died.

The couple wrote: "We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we've never felt before.
"We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn't enough."

They continued: "We never decide on our babies' names until the last possible moment after they're born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack.
"So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.
"To our Jack - I'm so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn't give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you."
However, it's clear that Chrissy's bravery in talking about an important issue has inspired many more women to speak about the pain of losing a child, and Meghan Markle has also recently penned an open letter on the same subject.
