The supermodel Chrissy Teigen was rushed to the hospital over the weekend to deal with complications from her pregnancy.

Entertainment Tonight reported that Teigen took to Instagram on Sunday to reveal to her fans that she had spent the day and evening in the hospital after being on mandatory bedrest for weeks. She explained that she is halfway through her pregnancy with her third child, and that she’s been on bed rest due to excessive bleeding from her placenta.

“Today the big difference was it kind of was just like if you were to turn a faucet on to low and leave it there,” Teigen said of the bleeding. “It’s so weird because I feel really good. I’m usually at my happiest pregnant, mood-wise. That way I feel happier than I do not pregnant. That’s why it’s so, so hard for me to come to terms with.”

The wife of singer John Legend went on to talk about her future baby boy, saying, “The baby is so healthy, growing stronger than Luna or Miles. He moves a lot. He’s moved so much earlier than they ever did. He’s like a rollie pollie. We have like a million great pictures of him. He’s just so different than they were. So he’s so strong and I’m just so excited for him because he’s so wonderful and just the strongest little dude, so I can’t wait for him.”

However, Teigen said that while the baby is strong, he’s not quite out of the woods yet.

“Basically he’s the strongest, coolest dude in the s**ttiest house. His house is just falling apart,” Teigen explained. “It didn’t have a good foundation to begin with, though. He didn’t have the strongest chance at the very, very beginning.”

Making matters worse is the fact that there isn’t much doctors can do without endangering the baby boy further.

“It’s just hard because there’s not much you can do. I’m in that weird in-between time of it being really dangerous to try anything,” Teigen said. “Basically if I can make it through the next few weeks, if little boy can make it through the next few weeks, then, you know, we can go from there and be able to kind of get through the danger zone or whatever. But we have to get through this first. So yeah, it is scary. But it’s scary in the way that there’s just really nothing to do.”

She also asked her fans who work in the medical profession to stop giving advice on her situation.

“The most unhelpful thing is when I get suggestions from medical Twitter and Instagram… because all it does is make me feel really anxious and nervous and like I did something wrong,” Teigen said. “If you are a doctor, I cannot express enough how badly I would like for you to stop your guessing games or Twitter pleas to figure out what I’m doing wrong or diagnosing me via Twitter. I’ve seen it all. You have to trust me that I have very good doctors who know what they’re doing, who know the entire story.”

She concluded with a message to her future son, saying, “Anyhow, little dude. I want to show you all these when you come out, little butthead. I love you. Mommy loves you so, so much, you butt. I love you.”
