Chriss Teigen can be observed to be in a state of wonder in an image that the supermodel shared recently. With the image, while posing with her post-pregnancy-loss physique, the 35-year-old supermodel talked about how her current physical state is reminding her of what could an alternate version of her reality could look like and has no idea why she still has the baby bump that once housed her unborn infant son, Jack.

Amongst the many emotions that the model has used the image to express, there's also one of gratitude for the fact that she now has two children who are turning into adults.

About Chrissy Teigen's pregnancy loss:
Earlier this year, the supermodel lost her third child in an unfortunate and unexpected turn of events. Shortly after which, she made the news public through an Instagram post in which she briefly touched upon her feelings and that of her husband, John Legend after the loss. In one of Chrissy Teigen's photos that can be found below, one can see that amongst the many things that Tigen had to share, she even revealed that Teigen had named their yet-to-be-born child "Jack", which was a first for the Teigen-Legend family.
Shortly after the news about Chrissy Teigen's miscarriage went viral, fellow celebrities and fans took to Twitter in order to appeal for the banishment of the word "miscarriage" altogether. Twitterati appealed for such a move since the word comes with a negative connotation and implies that it is the mother's fault for losing the child. Some of those tweets can be found below:
I am going to use the term ‘pregnancy loss’ going forward as I personally feel the word ‘miscarriage’ contributes to the lack of empathy and compassion around the issue and implies some kind of failure on the part of the person expecting https://t.co/nmbayLunuk

One of the hardest things I found about miscarriage is you're not supposed to talk about it because it's so common. You mustn't embarrass other people with your "failure" but also, because it's such a secret for so many, you're meant to pretend it's no big deal.

I’ve had 2 miscarriages.

We shared our 1st publicly, because we were deeply hurting and we didn’t want to hide our grief.
We didn’t share our 2nd publicly for a long time. We didn’t want to grieve and handle the criticisms of how we were grieving. Both together were too much.
I’ve just seen the term “pregnancy loss” for the first time. I prefer it to “miscarriage”. It feels like it blames you less. “miscarried” is such an awful description. It sounds like an indictment. It’s like you’ve done something wrong.

I hate the word miscarriage anyway, it suggests some fault on the part of the mother, but it is definitely not the correct word to use in relation to Chrissy Teigen today. I've already seen it in a few articles this morning.
