In the week that her son Jack would've been born, Chrissy Teigen has again been incredibly honest about the ups and downs of grieving for a lost child.

Chrissy and husband John Legend lost their son, Jack in September - she posted a series of pictures from hospital announcing what had happened, and was roundly praised for the honesty she had shown and strength sharing her storygave to others who had experienced the same thing.

Now, in the week her baby would've been due, Chrissy has again opened up about the realities of the emotions she is still struggling with.

The couple announced her third pregnancy (the couple also have a daughter Luna and son Miles) at the end of John's music video for Wild.

Sharing pictures of that shoot, she wrote: 'these are from our video shoot for Wild in Mexico. I was 10 weeks along and out of my mind happy. I knew the video would take a bit to get together so thought it would be cute to share our news with the world through the ol classic hand on belly trick at the end.

'I could have never imagined what would happen over the next 10 weeks...not sure I’ll ever be able to watch that video again without sobbing but I hope he feels my tears and knows we miss him so.

'He would have been here any day now - if he were like Luna and Miles, I’d probably be holding him as we speak.

'I am so full of regret that I didn’t look at his face when he was born. I was so scared of seeing him in my nightmares that I forgot about seeing him in my dreams. I hurt every day from that remorse.

'This month is a rough reminder and to be honest, I thought the worst was over but I guess life and emotions aren’t on any sort of schedule. Love you guys to pieces and am grateful for all your support and love. I firmly believe energy and healing travels through the night sky and I feel it, I promise I do. ❤️ and I love you jack. I miss you so so much.'

Chrissy opened up about the difficult time on Twitter earlier this week, writing: 'my little jack would have been born this week so I'm a bit off. I truly feel kicks in my belly, but it's not phantom. I have surgery for endometriosis tomorrow...but the period feeling this month is exactly like baby kicks. sigh.'

People were again supportive and thankful to Chrissy for sharing her pain.

One commenter wrote: 'Thank you for being so vulnerable and beautiful sharing your pain and truth. It’s helping so many people feel less alone in their grief.'

Another wrote: 'You have helped me so much in my healing from my miscarriage.'
