Chrissy Teigen accidentally revealed the gender of her baby

Formal gender reveals are out, accidental missteps on social media are in. At least, that’s the new trend being set by Chrissy Teigen, and we are here for it. Guests don’t have to endure the sight of parents looking upset about the socially constructed gender of their baby, there are no accidental disasters, and it’s one less diaper cake that has to be made and given as a gift. For the record, accidental engagement announcements and birth announcements are also totally fine.Teigen, who is pregnant with her third child with husband John legend, was updating her followers on her pregnancy in her Instagram stories on September 17. Teigen was showing her fans how her oldest child, four-year-old Luna, was being a great helper to mom and keeping her hydrated. Pregnant people, do not underestimate how well hydrated you have to remain throughout all nine months. Teigen was lying in bed under a blanket while discussing her ‘sucky’ placenta when she accidentally let it slip that she is pregnant with a boy. Mazel tov!

“My placenta sucks. It’s always been the bad part of my pregnancies,” said Teigen, who added that both Luna and two-year-old Miles arrived early after the cookbook author was induced. “With Miles it stopped taking care of him, stopped feeding him. I was getting huge.” Continued Teigen, "It's so weird because the baby's really, really healthy. He's big. He’s probably, oops," said Teigen, before clamping her hand over her mouth.No surprise, people are loving Teigen’s accidental reveal.

Teigen brushed off the accidental reveal and continued telling her followers about her ongoing issues with her placenta, which she says is causing much more bleeding than the typical amount many pregnant people experience. She used the word ‘gushing.’ See your doctor for any bleeding, but especially if you need to describe it as ‘gushing.’[video_embed id='2033234']RELATED: Chrissy Teigen says she’s off social media for her mental health[/video_embed]"Everything’s good," said Teigen. "I’m feeling really good, but my placenta’s really, really weak and it’s causing me to really bleed a lot. So basically, it’s just pretty high risk." Teigen also told her followers that her weak placenta means she is now completely on bed rest and is only allowed to get up to use the bathroom. So, what does that mean for the remainder of her pregnancy? According to Teigen, she’s bingeing The Real Housewives and 90 Day Fiancé all day, and like the rest of us, not missing a single episode of Love Island (Monday-Sunday, 9pm on CTV) every night.

Even though she’s on bed rest, Teigen is still managing to get work done on the latest cookbook in her “Cravings” series. The TV host asked fans to send ideas for recipes they would like to see in future editions. One of those recipes may include how to make a Japanese egg sandwich, which Teigen received in bed from Legend and the chefs at Sando Itchi. Bed rest isn’t ideal, but admittedly it’s a little bit better if you’re Chrissy Teigen. Those sandwiches look amazing.

Teigen announced her third pregnancy in Legend’s latest music video for his single “Wild.” Also starring Miles and Luna, the video for “Wild” shows the family of four enjoying a day on the beach while Teigen reveals her growing belly, because music videos are the new pregnancy reveals. There have been a lot of changes this year, and some are actually good.[video_embed id='2006013']Before you go: John Legend reveals what Chrissy Teigen thinks about his love songs[/video_embed]
