Chrissy Teigen Says No Mom Should Have to Rush to Drop Baby Weight

1 minute read

Chrissy Teigen says she’s not in a hurry to take off any weight she gained during her pregnancy.

“You shouldn’t have rush to shed anything,” she told E! News in an exclusive interview. “It’s OK! It’s fine.”

Teigen praises husband John Legend’s appreciation and support saying, “John actually loves the new pieces!”

She understands that post-baby weight might not exactly melt off, so she’s focusing her attention on Luna instead of weight loss. She says, “You just realize you have to give yourself time and understand that you push out a baby, and it took this long to put on the weight, and it’s not going to peel right off, and that’s OK.”

She encouraged other new parents, “Enjoy your baby. Don’t go crazy.”
