In a recent Twitter post, she revealed that this week would have her due date of her son, Jack. Her new update came after she lost her baby following 20 weeks of pregnancy in September.
On Wednesday, the Sports Illustrated model tweeted how she's feeling "a bit off."
"I truly feel kicks in my belly, but it's not phantom," John Legend's wife wrote.
Teigen then shared how she's preparing for an endometriosis surgery on Thursday. But because of her period, it made her feel like there are baby kicks from inside her.
Chrissy also posted a video of her stomach, which seemed like it is subtly moving. She wrote, "I'll pretend it's him saying hi. It never stops."
The 35-year-old cookbook author's post received comforting messages from her fans.
One Twitter user thanked her for being open and candid about losing a child: "Thank you for being so transparent about your pain."
Another person comforted Teigen, responding to her on Twitter: "When you think of Jack, he is thinking of you. He is with you."
