Chrissy Teigen Reminisces Her Pre-Pregnancy Body With an Ode to Her Newly Sensitive Stomach

Chrissy Teigen has never hidden the fact that she's a big-time foodie. Not only does she love experimenting with a wide variety of food, but she has also gone on to write two cookbooks, Cravings: Hungry for More in 2018 and Cravings: All Together: Recipes to Love in 2021, reports She Knows. It was definitely a surprise to the model that her fourth pregnancy with husband John Legend isn't allowing her to experiment with food anymore. Talking about her newly sensitive tummy, the 36-year-old model took to Instagram to reveal what her food journey is like. She wrote, "I have lived the life of a spoiled rotten stomach. I could do ANYTHING to it — street meat, landlocked sushi, stuff that smelled off, 5-second rule floor food, ghost pepper contests, countless shots. And she was strong, my stomach. now, half of a single cherry tomato can take me down for 12 hours. but I am still so happy to be your rental home, little baby!"

The arrival of their new baby is a ray of light for the couple who had a heartbreaking pregnancy loss with their third baby Jack in 2020. Teigen had some complications in her previous pregnancy that left her hospitalized and weak from excessive bleeding. At the time in a lengthy Instagram post, she 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. 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."

A few months ago Teigen shared that she is pregnant again after "1 billion shots," suggesting the pair used fertility treatments, like in vitro fertilization, to conceive again. The two are parents to daughter Luna Simone, 6, and son Miles Theodore, 4. Speaking of the joy and apprehension of having a baby again, especially after a traumatic pregnancy loss she wrote that "joy has filled our home and hearts again. 1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way. Every appointment I’ve said to myself, “ok if it’s healthy today I’ll announce” but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m just too nervous still. I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I’m feeling hopeful and amazing. Ok phew, it’s been very hard keeping this in for so long!" Such great news for the family!
