Chrissy Teigen Was ‘Terrified’ Finding Out She’s Pregnant Amid Breast Implant Removal Surgery

Teigen who has been open about her fertility struggles explained that she spent the next few weeks anxiously keeping an eye on her health.

Chrissy Teigen was pregnant with her and her husband John Legend‘s third child while undergoing breast implant removal surgery but she had no idea at the time.

“Oh, it’s quite a story. Lol,” Teigen tweeted. “I did the routine pregnancy test you do before surgery. It said negative. It was not negative. A few weeks after surgery, I took a test. And for many years now, I’ve taken pregnancy tests almost every month, praying to see a positive one day. Just wishful thinking. I never had a positive before.”

Teigen who has been open about her fertility struggles explained that she spent the next few weeks anxiously keeping an eye on her health.

“So we prayed to the boob surgery gods that everything would be okay,” she wrote. “Went to every appointment terrified. Even without the surgery, I didn’t think I could get pregnant naturally anyway. So the odds just felt … bad.”

Chrissy said that she is still “very worried” about her pregnancy under the circumstances and noted the difference from her previous two pregnancies. Teigen and Legend’s daughter and son were conceived through in vitro fertilization.

“Part of me misses the safety of my perfect embryos, created in their little dish. They felt untouchable and safe,” she explained.
