  • Chrissy Teigen made a subtle return to Instagram after her pregnancy loss.

  • Chrissy revealed the loss of her pregnancy in a heartbreaking Instagram post earlier this month.

Chrissy Teigen is slowly returning to Instagram after the pre-term death of her third child earlier this month. On Saturday October 10, she left a comment on the Betches Instagram account, admitting that the post gave her a reason to laugh during otherwise heartbreaking times.

'Just booked an eyebrow waxing appointment and I’m excited I’ll be wearing a mask so I don’t have to hear "moustache too?"' Kara Morehart wrote in the original tweet, which was repurposed for the Instagram post. 'Finally, a giggle. Thank you,' Chrissy commented.

On October 1, Chrissy and husband John Legend revealed that they suffered a pregnancy loss after she was admitted to the hospital for severe bleeding.

In a post on Instagram, she wrote: 'We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. 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.'

She went on to explain that she and John were calling their baby 'Jack', and added: 'He will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever. To our Jack - I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you.'

We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. 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. . . We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever. . . To our Jack - I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you. . . Thank you to everyone who has been sending us positive energy, thoughts and prayers. We feel all of your love and truly appreciate you. . . We are so grateful for the life we have, for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles, for all the amazing things we’ve been able to experience. But everyday can’t be full of sunshine. On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.

It's encouraging to see Chrissy engage on social media again, especially since she's been a fast of Instagram and Twitter in the past. I hope she and her entire family continue to heal from their devastating loss.
