Pellegrini Defends Instagram Post as She Explains Planned Cesarean to Protect Baby

Her pushback underscores how quick-take posts can fuel harsh judgments about pregnancy.

Overview

  • Federica Pellegrini shared photos with husband Matteo Giunta on Instagram, joking about a “last dinner” before the birth and writing that they will find a way to handle two young daughters.
  • Comments under the post turned harsh, with some users accusing her of complaining and others saying a second pregnancy could have been avoided because contraception exists.
  • She responded by urging people to read full interviews and not stop at clickbait headlines that strip out context.
  • In a separate reply to a critic, she said she chose a scheduled cesarean to avoid risks to the baby after her first delivery led to an emergency C-section, adding the procedure is planned for early April.
  • She is in her ninth month with a second daughter due in April and has paused professional work to prepare, while the couple has not shared the baby’s name.
