Rosanna Davison has shared a pregnancy update, as she enters the second trimester with her twins.
The former Miss World showed off her growing bump, revealing the twins are now “the size of bananas”.
The 36-year-old updated her Instagram followers on the symptoms she has been experiencing, admitting she feels “knackered most of the time”.
“This week, the boys are the size of ????????!! 20 weeks down & about 16 left to go (all going well ????????),” she wrote.
“Been feeling good this trimester apart from being knackered most of the time ???? And no crazy cravings either but still can’t get enough icy cold fruit… watermelon, strawberries, frozen grapes ????????????.”
The model mum left an inspiring message for couple’s who are struggling with their fertility, after Rosanna herself suffered 14 miscarriages over the course of a few years.
“If sharing our surrogacy & pregnancy story can help even one other couple to feel less lonely & hopeless on their fertility journey, then I’ll be very happy indeed.”
Rosanna delighted her followers last month, when she announced that she and her husband Wes were expecting identical twin boys.
She announced the exciting news almost eight months after she welcomed her first child, a daughter named Sophia, via gestational surrogate last year.
Rosanna wrote on Instagram: “We have some news! @Wesquirke and I are beyond overjoyed to announce that we’re expecting identical twin boys this November ????????”
“We’re absolutely thrilled to complete our family and for our daughter Sophia to have two siblings so close in age to her.”
“As I’ve spoken openly about this year, we struggled with fourteen pregnancy losses over the past few years and a challenging fertility journey before finally welcoming Sophia last November by gestational surrogate,” she continued.
“I was told that I would probably never be able to carry my own baby due to a suspected immune system dysfunction, which numerous different medical treatments failed to rectify. So for this to just happen naturally, and to have twins too by complete chance, is an absolute dream come true for us ❤️”
“My doctor can’t offer a medical explanation for why I have been able to sustain this pregnancy and it will probably always remain one of life’s mysteries,” Rosanna wrote.
“However, we found out I was pregnant after the first month of lockdown when I was far more physically relaxed than I’ve been in years and enjoying the slow pace of family life at home, despite the anxiety and sadness in the outside world.”
“So perhaps that time out from the stress of busy everyday life made all the difference. We still can’t quite believe it ourselves and it’s taken a long time to properly process it and feel ready to share the news. As if 2020 hasn’t already been packed with enough surprises! ????”
“Fertility miracles may take some time, but they really can happen in the most unexpected and magical ways ???? As always, sending so much love to those of you still on your baby journey. Never give up hope ????,” she added.
