Shortly after, she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/09\/28\/entertainment\/chrissy-teigen-hospitalized-bleeding-pregnancy-intl-scli\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">admitted to the hospital<\/a> due to bleeding, but their son \u2014 whom they named Jack \u2014 seemed to be healthy and thriving. &#8220;So I feel really good, the baby&#8217;s so healthy. Growing stronger than Luna or Miles. He moves a lot, so much earlier than they ever did,&#8221; she said on social media. &#8220;He&#8217;s so strong and I&#8217;m just so excited for him because he&#8217;s so wonderful and just the strongest little dude.

Teigen shared the news in a heart-wrenching post on Instagram, accompanied by black and white photos from the hospital. &#8220;We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we\u2019ve never felt before,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn\u2019t enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Teigen further explained that typically, they don&#8217;t name their children until they&#8217;ve left the hospital. But in this case, they had a feeling that their son&#8217;s name was Jack. &#8220;So he will always be Jack to us,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CFyWQLWpJ3u\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

To our Jack &#8211; I\u2019m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn\u2019t give you the home you needed to survive.\u00a0\u00a0We will always love you. . . Thank you to everyone who has been sending us positive energy, thoughts and prayers.\u00a0\u00a0We feel all of your love and truly appreciate you. . .
