Chrissy Teigen Advocates for Women's Health with Bold Mammogram Post
In a candid move to promote women's health, Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram to share a personal moment from her recent mammogram and ultrasound appointment. The model and cookbook author posted a photo of herself lying down in a doctor's office, using the platform to encourage women to prioritize their annual mammogram check-ups.
Teigen, known for her humorous and relatable social media presence, captioned the photo with her signature wit, saying, "Mammogram/b--- ultrasound reminder! When else do you get to see your b--- as a one-inch steak!?" She continued, highlighting the perks of the procedure, "Ultrasound also comes with free t---- lotion good for the entire day!!"
In the shared image, Teigen can be seen covering her chest with one hand, while also donning a face mask. She revealed that during this visit, she underwent both a mammogram and an ultrasound.
Despite her bustling life as a mother of four, Teigen managed to find time for this crucial health check-up. She and her husband, Grammy-winning artist John Legend, recently welcomed two new additions to their family. Their daughter Esti was born in January, and their son Wren arrived in June, both through surrogacy. The couple, who have been open about their fertility struggles, also have two older children, Luna, 7, and Miles, 5.
The family recently embarked on their first vacation as a group of six. Legend, in a recent interview, expressed the joy the new additions have brought to their household. "We are very outnumbered now. We are having fun, honestly … The babies are lovely," the singer remarked. He went on to share the excitement of their older children in welcoming their younger siblings, adding that their presence "just fills the house with more love."
Teigen's commitment to her health doesn't stop at mammograms. Just a day prior to her mammogram post, she shared her experience of attending a group workout class, something she hadn't done in years due to feelings of embarrassment. She celebrated the achievement with a group photo at a Pilates studio, proudly stating, "So proud of us!!"
The model's recent posts not only highlight her personal journey but also serve as a reminder of the importance of regular health check-ups and self-care, even amidst the challenges and responsibilities of daily life.
