After a month of almost full social-media silence, Chrissy Teigen has published a blog post on Medium recounting her memories of the day she lost her pregnancy and the following weeks.
"I didn't really know how I would start this, no matter the room or state I was in, but it feels right to begin with a thank you," Teigen said. "For weeks, our floors have been covered in flowers of kindness. Notes have flooded in and have each been read with our own teary eyes."
On September 30, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend shared photos on Twitter and Instagram showing Teigen grieving in a hospital bed.
After receiving multiple blood transfusions and updating her followers on the progress of her pregnancy, which was about halfway along, doctors were unable to stop the bleeding and Teigen had lost the pregnancy.
In the blog post, Teigen went into detail about the difficulties she had with the pregnancy, and how eventually the doctor said that "it was time to say goodbye."

"Chrissy's openness helps to shed this stigma and advance conversations about the topic, and help people realize that in the vast majority of cases, there is nothing that anybody did or didn't do that could prevent this devastating event," Dr. Lilli Dash Zimmerman, a fertility specialist at Columbia University Fertility Center who wasn't involved in Teigen's care, told Insider.
