Chrissy Teigen Suffers A Miscarriage, People Support Her And Say She Helped Other Mothers Feel Less Alone
Chrissy Teigen has just announced she and her husband John Legend have suffered a miscarriage, days after she was admitted to the hospital with severe bleeding.
The 34-year-old model and TV personality shared the heartbreaking news with a lengthy post and a series of black and white photos on social media on Wednesday night. She said the couple’s little boy, Jack, has died following complications.
“We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” Teigen wrote. “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.”

The couple has two children, Luna and Miles, who were both conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This pregnancy, however, happened naturally, something Teigen didn’t think was possible for her in the first place.
Though she was open about her struggles of getting pregnant, Teigen recently stated that IVF pregnancies felt “untouchable and safe” and that this pregnancy made her feel “eggshelly.”
Teigen was about halfway through her pregnancy and bleeding significantly, she said earlier this week. She asked fans not to diagnose her, revealing that her placenta was “really, really weak.”
The couple expressed their gratitude for their children and the experiences they have had. “But every day can’t be full of sunshine,” they said. “On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.”
People expressed their support for the couple and some even shared similar stories of their own

When my best friend was in the hospital dying from blood clots that cut off oxygen to her brain her boyfriend posted her condition in a series of facebook updates, because that was his largest social network and he didn't want the heart ache of telling every single person from her job, family, friends etc what had happened and what was going on individually, having to relieve the pain each time. Also it made it easy to keep people informed without having to take much time away from her. So people really need to stop judging Chrissy as an "attention whore" here for posting about her baby's death. Its likely a way to stem the questions from people over the next couple of months about what happened to the baby and which will dredge up these horrible memories each time as well as starting a conversation with other women who have been through the same thing and who can share how they felt and coped. Its like an online support group.
Thank you, I was too quick to judge, not as attention whore per se, but I'd think this would be a private matter only for their families and close friends. It's not really, when both are in the entertainment industry and it would come up on interviews down the line. Also possibly help other families in the same situation, terrible things happen to the rich and famous as well
Load More Replies...If sharing her experience on social media helps her to cope in any way shape or form I really don't see the problem with it, maybe YOU wouldn't do it/can't imagine doing it but honestly is it really hurting anyone?...If anything it's probably helping someone, yeah there are probably people that are going to say negative things about her choice to share such a personal story but I really don't see why and it's really nobody's problem but hers anyway...if she even considers someone's negative opinion a problem.
I never realized how common miscarriages are until mine. It is something that is not talked about and it really should be. I think that would help so many of us not feel so alone. The loss is real and it is ok to talk to people about it. It makes so many people uncomfortable, but I don't care. I am glad this is shared with the world and would like all of us who have suffered to share as well. And one day I hope to have my rainbow baby - if I will ever be so lucky.
I lost 4 babies to miscarriage. I felt lost and had no one to talk to as all our friends and family were all starting families or had small children, they didn't want to hear about my pain when they were rejoicing in their joy. I am so sorry for Chrissy and give her respect for having the courage to share her pain instead of hiding it like I did. I am so truly sorry for the loss of their child its a pain that no one should have to live through.
Sorry ppl didnt want to hear your pain. Ppl can be so selfish. You deserved someone who would cry with you and listen to you.
Load More Replies...A good friend of mine suffered a horrific miscarriage, and you would not believe the horrible things people said. Mostly, I think because people do not know what to say, because we never talk about it. Women don't talk about their pain when they miscarry--how horrible, horrible it is, and we should. I'm glad she's told the world about this--people will see the pain and perhaps saying the terrible things my friend had to listen to, the inability to empathize, and their snap-judgment blaming of the mother.
I've had a number of friends go through this... and the pain is unimaginable for both parents, and the extended family. To have to relive it constantly, by telling people individually only cuts the already raw wound. To have to deal with people "not knowing how to respond", only makes them feel MORE isolated in their grief. THEN, ad to it the 'shame' that is so often felt (and sadly projected upon the mother) for having 'lost' the baby.... It is devastating. To use their palpable grief, in order to help others going through such loss, to remove the shame, and to "normalise" (an awful phrase, but I'm unsure what else to use) this horrendous part of life... I think is highly commendable. Because they knew, with absolute certainty, that there would be people willing to kick them while they're down, rather than support them. "Attention whores" belittle themselves for attention from anyone, for anything. This, is NOT that. I commend them both for their absolute bravery.
I will never understand the need of people to share such intimate moments on social media.I feel sorry for the loss but i also feel sick because nothing is sacred for them.Downvote me to hell,but there are some things that are not supposed to be a fb story with pics and all...
People have different ways of coping, so one can't really pass judgement. A lot of women suffer miscarriages, and it's honestly a shocking amount that most aren't even aware of. This is something not taught in schools (here, in the US, at least). Not much is taught about pregnancy, period. All in all, I too hate social media on a personal level, but I can't judge someone on their method of grieving. You don't know what they're going through or how they're thinking.
Load More Replies...To lose a child before they enter the world is probably the most devastating thing to happen to a woman, a father, a family. But to be strong to share and let others know they aren't alone in the pain is what this is about. It wasn't for attention or sympathy. It was to unite. Sadly it was a tragic event but love covers that moment. It won't ever go away but it will be held in love.
my mom had 5 miscarriages (she didnt want 5 children, she just wanted children but failed 5 times)... she doesnt really get emotional when she talks about them. shes just happy she had me and my 2 brothers
I concede that people in the public eye might have a different standard because of prying interviewers and such, but even so I think they ought to keep the revelations to a bare minimum: "Yes, we did have a terrible event, and we'd like everyone to let us deal with it privately." Anyone who continues to pry after that should be told to shut up and get lost.
I know it hurts a lot right now but don't worry your baby is looking over you and is so proud of you for being so brave
Chrissy Teigen is friends with half the globe, she shares good times and bad times, not just the photoshopped portraits and advertisements... I wonder how many heartless useless fake humans the critics follow.
She is not friends with half the globe. You do not know her just because you follow her on Instagram. Just because she shares images of her life, which she is entitled to do, don't mistake that for actual intimacy.
Load More Replies...It is called the Lords Judgement Chrissy. Maybe you should have thought about the other peoples children you were tweeting those awful and sick things about. This doesn't make people forget.
What a disgusting thing to say. So your saying that everyone who has suffered a miscarriage, or any type of loss and suffering is due to “Lords judgement”. So much for a “loving god”. No wonder more and more people are becoming non believers with this stupid drivel.
Load More Replies...Sad, yes. But were the carefully posed professional photos spread around every social media outlet possible really necessary? Definitely not!
Why? Because it's not something you would do? Have you considered that could be normalizing being open about this and helping MANY other women? The world would be better with less judgement.
Load More Replies...You have no idea on the individuals situation. I have dealt with fertility issues, pregnancy loss but would still choose to abort if I fell pregnant again. I could not cope with having another child and the thought fills me with anxiety so if my contraception fails for any reason I will be aborting. And that is my choice.
Load More Replies...You are a monster. A miscarriage is not "karma" because "she is sinful"
Load More Replies...She was putting her story out there for people to feel less alone. Not for attention and not to 'stay in the spotlight'. Also she got no money or reward for posting her story so she didn't 'sell her soal'. I'm pretty sure if u had a soal u wouldn't comment like this on such a sad and very real matter.
