Rosanna Davison admits lockdown as a new mum has been ‘challenging’

Rosanna Davison has admitted lockdown as a new mum has been “challenging”.

The former Miss World and her husband Wes Quirke welcomed their first child Sophia via gestational surrogate in November 2019, before giving birth to her “miracle” twins Hugo and Oscar in November the following year.

The model got candid about the challenges that come with parenting during a global pandemic in her latest Instagram post, as she celebrated seven weeks since the birth of her sons.

Sharing a sweet snap of her newborn’s foot, the 36-year-old wrote: “Seven weeks of Hugo & Oscar 🥰👣✨”.

“It’s flown by in a bit of a blur of sleepless nights, nappy changes, endlessly soothing colicky babies and constant feeds, while also keeping on top of Sophia’s routine. She’s still not too pleased about their arrival! 🙈

“It’s a magical time getting to know these two gorgeous little people, but it’s also a challenging time to be a new mum or dad in lockdown without a normal support system in place,” she confessed.

“We’ve just been taking it day by day, looking after each other and trying to stay positive.”

Rosanna continued: “There have been days recently when I’ve felt really anxious though – what if one or both of us got sick and couldn’t take care of them?

“It’s so important for us to be patient and kind to ourselves, and do whatever we can to support our emotional well-being and resilience.

“Being given the all-clear to start exercising again has given me a great mood boost, and I’ve been trying to take a little bit of time each day to myself just to get outside for some fresh air ☀️

“I hope you’re all coping as well as you can, and looking after your mental health as much as possible ❤️ Sending extra hugs to new parents finding it all a bit overwhelming ❤️”.

The news comes amid reports Rosanna is set to release a book about her journey to motherhood.

According to the Irish Sun, the mother-of-three has signed a deal with Gill Publishing to write a book about her fertility struggles.

The model suffered 14 miscarriages before she decided to look into surrogacy.

Speaking about Rosanna’s upcoming book, her famous father Chris de Burgh said: “I’m sure you know a number of women who are reluctant to talk about miscarriages but it does happen and that’s what makes Rosanna’s story so uplifting.”

“I think Rosanna’s book will help a lot of people.”

“I think just about everybody knows Rosanna background in terms of being a mother, she spoke about it in a very personal way about her heartbreak and the journey to surrogacy, including the 14 miscarriages she had,” he continued.

“One would be devastating for a woman but 14. I don’t know how Rosanna did it. She is a remarkable young woman for what she has been through.”

“We were absolutely thrilled when Sophia came home, a year ago to the day. Now these twins. This is a miracle. I think the whole thing is extraordinary,” he added.
