Chrissy Teigen is sharing that she is getting botox during her third pregnancy, but it is not for cosmetic reasons.

The cookbook author, who has two children โ€” Luna, four, and Miles, two โ€” is expecting her third child with her husband John Legend and she has revealed just why she is planning to have the injections during her pregnancy.

She explained on Twitter: โ€œI get really really bad pregnancy headaches. 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 doctor terms. anyhow man itโ€™s just so bad but I see the light finallyโ€

โ€œJaw Botox for my grinding was a MUST for my regular headaches. You can also do behind the brow for migraines. Life changingโ€

When questioned by her followers about her migraine-related botox treatment, Teigen clarified that she consults a neurologist instead of a cosmetic injector since she finds it to be โ€œa lot better and safer because they talk to your OB.โ€

โ€œYeah if you have the means to go to a neurologist instead of cosmetic itโ€™s a lot better and safer because they talk to your OB. (sic)โ€

One Twitter user commented that some mothers would likely criticize Teigen for her admission, โ€œOh girl. The crunchy granola moms are gonna come for you.โ€

And she shouldnโ€™t.

โ€œDoctors think Botox works for migraine headaches because it blocks chemicals called neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from your brain,โ€ WebMDโ€™s report explains.

โ€œBotox is like a roadblock in that pathway. It stops the chemicals before they get to the nerve endings around your head and neck.โ€
