Chrissy Teigen is one of our favorite celebrities to follow on social media, and she just gave us another reason to love her.
In one of her latest Instagram posts, Teigen fully embraces her baby bump. In the pic, the expectant mother poses on two chairs wearing a cream-colored bodysuit. Of course, she looks amazing, but her caption is what makes the pic even better.
“Hello new thighs! You appeared out of nowhere but I am not mad at it!” she wrote.

It’s wonderful to see a celebrity like Teigen send a positive message about loving your body as it changes through pregnancy. The response on the Instagram post has been extremely positive, with followers offering congratulations to the mom-to-be and to her husband, John Legend.
However, the expectant mother’s social media posts haven’t always garnered such a good reaction. About a month ago, Teigen shared a different pic of her growing belly and had to deal with the same frustrating response that other pregnant women face regularly. Commenters (obviously) felt the need to share opinions about her body, saying her bump looked bigger than normal. (Right, because all “normal” pregnancies look exactly the same…) Before that, the “FABlife” co-host even received criticism for one of her pregnancy cravings: Fruity Pebbles cereal.
Teigen announced her pregnancy in October after talking openly about her fertility struggles. After some people suggested that she had twins on the way because she used in vitro fertilization, she showed the world who’s boss of her own body with a simple tweet:
I did IVF. One at a time. It isn’t twins. I can see the damn thing. Get out of my uterus!
