Rosanna Davison has shown off her growing baby bump, as she marks her 22nd week pregnant.
The model mum delighted her followers last month with the news that she and her husband Wes Quirke were expecting twins, after previously suffering 14 miscarriages over the course of a few years.
The 36-year-old updated her 226k Instagram followers about how the babies were doing, revealing they were getting “bigger and stronger” by the day.
Posting a side-by-side comparison of her bump at 12 weeks versus now, Rosanna wrote: “And I thought my bump was big at 12 weeks.”
“The boys are getting bigger and stronger by the day and are especially kicky at nighttime.”
In the comment section, Rosanna added: “It still makes me jump feeling all the little arms and legs poking me.”
On Sunday, the model enjoyed a relaxing spa day in Wicklow – where she admitted she had “never felt such strength, pride and confidence” in her body.
“To go from thinking I’d never be able to carry my own baby, to watching my body change and expand almost daily as it grows and nourishes two little humans, has given me a whole new appreciation for it.”
“I’ve never felt such strength, pride and confidence in my body ❤️,” she added.
Rosanna has been very open about her struggles with fertility, often sharing honest updates with her 225k Instagram followers.
Sharing the news of her “miracle” pregnancy, Rosanna wrote: “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.
