Chrissy Teigen Asks Her Personal Nurse To Dress Up As Plague Doctor

Chrissy Teigen had a particular request for her at-home nurse as she recovers from her pregnancy loss.

Over the weekend, the Cravings author, 34, took to social media to share a photo of her nurse in an outfit as she tended to her . "It's Halloween here at the legend household. Made my nurse be a medieval plague doctor (I have a nurse for a bit yes lol)," she captioned the hot shot. As you know, Teigen and husband, John Legend, lost their 20-week-old son, Jack, in late September.

Last week, Medium published a personal essay from Teigen, where she opened up for the first time about the loss in-detail. "I'm writing from the downstairs couch, still cozied up in a blanket but buzzing from a morning of friends and fried chicken. I'm reading off countless notes from my phone — thoughts that have randomly popped up in the weeks since," she wrote. "I didn’t really know how I would start this, no matter the room or state I was in, but it feels right to begin with a thank you. For weeks, our floors have been covered in flowers of kindness. Notes have flooded in and have each been read with our own teary eyes. Social media messages from strangers have consumed my days, most starting with, 'you probably won’t read this, but…'. I can assure you, I did."

Chrissy also went into detail about the tragedy, sharing what happened leading up to the loss and hospitalization. "I was previously on bedrest for over a month, just trying to get the little dude to 28 weeks, a 'safer' zone for the fetus. My doctors diagnosed me with partial placenta abruption. I had always had placenta problems. I had to deliver Miles a month early because his stomach wasn’t getting enough food from my placenta. But this was my first abruption. We monitored it very closely, hoping for things to heal and stop," she continued.

"After a couple nights at the hospital, my doctor told me exactly what I knew was coming — it was time to say goodbye," she wrote. "He just wouldn’t survive this, and if it went on any longer, I might not either. We had tried bags and bags of blood transfusions, every single one going right through me like we hadn’t done anything at all. Late one night, I was told it would be time to let go in the morning. I cried a little at first, then went into full blown convulsions of snot and tears, my breath not able to catch up with my own incredibly deep sadness. Even as I write this now, I can feel the pain all over again. Oxygen was placed over my nose and mouth, and that was the first picture you saw. Utter and complete sadness."
