Chrissy Teigen Has Become The Voice For Victims Of Unsolicited Pregnancy Advice

Why do the very same people who urge us to have a baby turn on us the moment we get pregnant? They are filled with the glories of babyhood and tell us we are meant for mothering. Then as soon as the pregnancy test is positive, the horror stories start.

Chrissy Teigen, model and TV host, and her musician husband John Legend are all too familiar with pregnancy criticism. Teigen recently brought us their good news via social media.

John and I are so happy to announce that we are pregnant 🙂 As many of you know, we've been trying to have a baby for a while now. It hasn't been easy, but we kept trying because we can't wait to bring our first child into the world and grow our family. We're so excited that it's finally happening. Thank you for all your love and well wishes. I look forward to all the belly touching! Xx

After all their difficulty getting pregnant, this was wonderful to hear. The couple’s long struggle with in vitro fertilization (IVF) made her tweets all the sweeter.

IVF is a complicated procedure which collects a woman’s eggs from her ovaries. Then those eggs are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory and implanted in the woman’s uterus (womb). No one can guarantee a successful pregnancy.

Moments after Teigen started her excited pregnancy news, the critics’ dive-bombing began.

Teigen put this on her Instagram:

Cap’n Pebbles cravings, nightly

Being pregnant is not easy. Our bodies are rapidly changing, our emotions are running all over the place, and our thoughts walk back and forth on the edge of worry. The last thing we need is a hurricane of critics. Teigen stood up for herself, and I think that makes her one of our heroes.
