Chrissy Teigen Is Already Being Bullied Online About her Pregnancy

After announcing she is expecting her first child with husband John Legend just one week ago, Chrissy Teigen has already been the target of cruel taunts about the size of her bump.

Like any proud mum-to-be, the 29-year-old model posted a snap of her growing baby bump, captioned "Somebody is early to the party" however she quickly received backlash from online trolls.

The haters commented on the size of her stomach, saying she was too big and speculating on whether she's carrying one baby or three.

Teigen, who has been open about her struggle to conceive, fired back at the criticism, writing, "I did IVF. One at a time. It isn't twins. I can see the damn thing. Get out of my uterus!"

However fans have since some to her defence, urging her to not let the haters stop her from posting.

"Set an example, don't stop posting baby bump photos! You are a role model for our young girls. There will always be haters and the ones who hate are always jealous and probably never been pregnant," wrote one user.

"Congrats. Coming from my husband and I who have been trying for almost 3yrs this gives us hope....it can defiantly be hard some days, but please don't stop posting about this you are giving so many people hope. We know what it feels like to want this so say to heck with the haters and love and enjoy every moment," added another.
