- Chrissy Teigen documented her continued recovery after losing her son, Jack, in September, revealing she was able to take a shower for the first time on Monday.
- "I’ve been taking baths because I couldn’t stand to be in the shower," Teigen explained. "I couldn’t, like, physically stand in the shower."
- "I feel really, really good," she said.
Chrissy Teigen hit a new milestone in her recovery after losing her son, Jack, in her second trimester of pregnancy at the end of September: She took her first shower, after being unable to stand up to shower for several months. On Monday, November 30—her 35th birthday!—Teigen shared her achievement on her Instagram Story, wearing a floral robe and a towel wrapped around her hair.
"I just had my first shower in like two months," she said. "I’ve been taking baths because I couldn’t stand to be in the shower. I couldn’t, like, physically stand in the shower."
"I feel really, really good. Thank you for all my birthday wishes," Teigen continued. "I feel very clear and very good."
Reflecting on her continued recovery, Teigen told her followers, "You guys have no idea, and I cannot wait to tell you some day. I cannot wait." She subsequently clarified, "I realised that just left you supremely hanging. I’m sorry. I just mean it’s been a ride, it has been a journey, and I am happy to be back again."

Over the weekend, Teigen shared a candid post about grief and healing. "when I’m old and grey, I will look back on the last two months as being brutal, exhausting, sad, physically challenging, mentally painful bitches of a couple months. But I refuse to not find humor in both the rage-fits and the outfits," she wrote.
"I already see the leaves as orange instead of grey, realized the sky is indeed blue and not black and horn honks on my forced morning walks only bring me to my knees half the time," she continued. "I can make it up my stairs only stopping once or twice instead of every other, and can get out of the bathtub all by myself as long as I have the promise john will dry me off. anyhow the point is, fuuuuuuuuuuuck, I think it’s happening."
