Teigen’s post won praise from many commenters — one noted, “Thank you for being transparent! Such a breath of fresh air!” — but the entrepreneur and women’s health activist is used to having her mothering decisions under a microscope. She recently shared some visual responses to a string of hateful online accusations that she secretly used a surrogate for Esti’s birth.

“Extremely realistic ‘moon bump,'” Teigen, 37, sarcastically wrote over an intimate shot taken onJan. 13after her cesarean section.

Teigen spoke with PEOPLE about her first cesarean section in March — and why she was “so excited” about the surgery.

“I was kind of excited because I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ve done the vaginal thing twice. Let’s try this,’ " she said of her previous births. “I really love surgery.”

“I like that I’ve seen both experiences,” added Teigen.
