Chrissy Teigen has two gorgeous children with singer John Legend, but the couple faced utter heartbreak when their third baby was stillborn in September.
Now the star, 35, has opened up in a truly heart-wrenching post on her social media, telling her fans she can still “feel” her baby “kicking” despite the loss.
The mother-of-two also revealed she is due to go under the knife tomorrow, in the latest procedure for her condition of endometriosis.
“My little Jack would have been born this week so I’m a bit off,” Chrissy shared with her Twitter followers.
“I truly feel kicks in my belly, but it’s not phantom.
“I have surgery for endometriosis tomorrow…but the period feeling this month is exactly like baby kicks. sigh.”
The star later shared a video of her belly appearing to move as she said: “Look at this. I’ll pretend it’s him saying hi – it never stops.”
The US starlet clearly had a million thoughts running through her head ahead of her impending surgery, as she went on to ask for advice from her fans.
“Can anyone tell me their experience after endometriosis surgery? What is the recovery-difficulty level? like can I make soup after,” she wondered.
Supportive fans took to the comments section, as one person wrote: “I’m so sorry, Chrissy. My heart breaks for you. I had endometriosis surgery last week, and it was hard mentally.
“I’ve not publicized that at all until now. (Obviously not the same scale as you publicizing your experience, lol). Hugs to you and your family.”
“You really are so strong!” another posted. “I had numerous Endrometreosis surgeries back in the ‘Stone Age’ (80′). Doctor was ahead of his time (from Oslo, wore clogs & drove a Harley) but was shocked I was able to even have a child…my son.
“Well a year later a healthy baby girl.”
A third said: “I just want to hug you. I’m so sorry. I’m an endo sister and fellow angel mommy and my heart has broken for you this year even though I don’t know you.”
While a fourth simply shared: “Oh this breaks my heart.”
“Good luck with endo surgery. I’ve had it twice now. Remember to buy some mintec to help bind the gas they pump into you otherwise you’ll have epic shoulder pain (referred pain from the pressure on your diaphragm) otherwise a can of lemonade and some burps should help,” a fifth added.
