Chrissy Teigen Reveals She Took Pics During Her Own C-Section

The 37-year-old is fascinated by surgery.

Chrissy Teigen just gave birth to her third child, a daughter named Esti, and this time around, things were a little different. Specifically, the 37-year-old had a cesarean section instead of a natural birth.

But for Teigen, this was exciting news, so much so, that she even took pictures throughout the process and still has them.

Teigen opened up about her c-section to People, saying, "I was kind of excited because I'm like, 'Yeah, I've done the vaginal thing twice. Let's try this.'"

She added, "I really love surgery. I like that I've seen both experiences."

The model even shared what it was like during the c-section procedure, explaining, "The incision is a lot and you never know how your stomach's going to come together. I think your organs are on the table for a second, but that to me is so cool. I was taking pictures above the seat. I have the craziest pictures of the cord and everything."

While some people want to avoid having a c-section if they can, Teigen still thinks it's so interesting even after going through it: "It really is so crazy, but I still think it's so cool. I'm like, 'Oh, my God. I was laying there wide awake with my body cut open and a baby comes out.' Now Miles and Luna love looking at my scar and they call it the baby hole."

Teigen also spoke with the publication about Cord Blood Banking, encouraging parents to store newborn stem cells that can be used to treat many different conditions and diseases.

The mother-of-three said that a small piece of the umbilical cord "is full of millions of stem cells and cord blood tissue that they can use to treat over 80 different conditions now. It's insane. Cerebral palsy, cancer, leukemia, a lot of autoimmune diseases."

Along with her new daughter Esti, Teigen shares Luna, 6, and Miles, 4, with her husband, John Legend.
