Model Chrissy Teigen is inspiring parents by speaking out about high-risk pregnancy. Teigen, who is expecting her third child with husband John Legend, took to Twitter and Instagram Stories this week to let fans know she’d been hospitalized due to heavy bleeding from a weakened placenta. Her candid and heartfelt posts have inspired dozens of other parents to speak up about their own struggles during pregnancy.<\/p>

Teigen announced her most recent pregnancy in August and has been on bed rest<\/a> since early September. This week, she says her ongoing pregnancy spotting turned into heavy bleeding. “I guess in the simplest of terms we can say my placenta is really, really weak,” she reveals in Instagram Stories<\/a> captured by Romper.com. “Basically he’s the strongest, coolest dude in the sh*tiest house. His house is just falling apart.”<\/p>

Teigen, whose two other children<\/a> were born via in vitro fertilization (IVF)<\/a>, has been open about her struggles with infertility and her fears and hopes for her current pregnancy<\/a>, which she says was a complete surprise<\/a> because she didn’t think she “could get pregnant naturally.” Since being hospitalized, Teigen has kept fans up to date on her condition and the fact that she’s receiving blood transfusions.<\/p>

hello from hospital. about to have my second blood transfusion which truly truly truly sounds more dramatic than it is. It’s an IV, but instead of fluids, the blood of some kind human being out there. Baby and I are completely fine, just missing the little things like walking…cooking…playing with the other buttbutts. came across this little gem from ringing in 2020. It all makes sense now!<\/a><\/p>
