The Utah native’s February 4 procedure was “a toughie,” she tweeted the following day. “My whole belly got numbed,” the
Lip Sync Battle cohost wrote. “It’s gonna be numb for, like, a couple days. … It makes it hard, every little cough and stuff. But it is truly still better than the contractions and the pain of endo.”
Teigen shared another update later that same night, noting that she didn’t “feel great.”
The model’s surgery was the same week as her and her husband
“We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” Teigen, who is also the mother of Luna, 4, and Miles, 2, captioned intimate hospital photos at the time. “We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough.”
Teigen has been open about her grieving process since the heartbreaking pregnancy loss. In November, she said she was in a bit of a grief depression hole, updating fans a few days later that while it had been brutal at the time, she felt like she was improving mentally.
Also in November, Teigen and Legend told PEOPLE they have been able to find a little bit of sunshine as they continued to grieve the loss of their son. You learn how to cope with it. I am very proud to say that there s multiple different therapies I m using to hopefully become the same person that I was, and I m okay with that, Teigen said at the time. I m okay with allowing myself to have bad days and good days.
