Last month, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend revealed the exciting news that they’re expecting their third baby.
Giving her fans an update on her pregnancy, Teigen revealed she’s been getting Botox but not for cosmetic reasons, as some might assume.
She revealed on Twitter she’s been getting severe “pregnancy headaches”, adding that she was cleared to undergo neck muscle botox in order to combat the pain.
“I get really, really bad pregnancy headaches,” she explained. “[I] was thrilled to be cleared to do neck muscle botox along with a crazy combo of beta blocker shots and radio wave frequency something something [sic] doctor terms.”

Teigen also explained that she receives treatment from a neurologist to administer the injectable rather than a cosmetic doctor as it is “a lot better and safer because they talk to your OB”.
A few weeks ago the 34-year-old – who is already mum to Luna, four, and two-year-old Miles – detailed the “funny story” about how she discovered she was pregnant after undergoing surgery in June to remove her breast implants.
“A few weeks after surgery, I took a test,” she explained. “And for many years now, I’ve taken pregnancy tests almost every month, praying to see a positive one day. Just wishful thinking. I never had a positive before.”

On the morning of husband John Legend’s latest album release, Teigen explained he had gotten up at 3am for an interview, which prompted her to get up and take her routine monthly pregnancy test.
“I woke up with him and was like man, should take my monthly test to be disappointed… I was not disappointed,” she said.
With her first two children Teigen fell pregnant after undergoing IVF – a treatment she has been very open about – so, she was never sure if it would be possible for her to fall pregnant without fertility treatment.
Lo and behold, she did. “When you give up on trying, life has a way of surprising you,” she said.
