Rosanna Davison has shared a nude pregnancy portrait as she prepares for the impending arrival of her miracle twin sons.
The former beauty queen shared the black and white image on Sunday and captioned it: “The miracle of new life. Due date month is finally here.”
Rosanna and her husband Wes will be welcoming identical twin boys in November, which they conceived naturally after a long fertility journey during in which she suffered 14 miscarriages.
Almost exactly one year ago, Ros and Wes welcomed their long-awaited first child, a baby girl they named Sophia, after they sought the help of a gestational surrogate.
Rosanna is eight months pregnant but due to the high-risk nature, she will be induced early.
And with Level 5 restrictions in place until December 1, the former Miss World will be faced with the same strict measures as many other mothers across the country.
She told the Irish Mirror: “I was able to see my parents regularly up until Level 3 was introduced as they live in Wicklow, but my two brothers live in London so it’s been tough not seeing them.
“I’m just really hoping things improve soon and the whole family can meet our babies after they’re born.”
The 36-year-old hasn’t let lockdown or a twin pregnancy stop her from keeping fit as she has been staying active and healthy, which she said will also be key in her recovery.
Rosanna added: “In terms of pregnancy exercise, I’ve been going to a trainer called Jessie Kavanagh in her training studio called Inform Fitness.
“I go to her three times a week for prenatal training and we just do very safe exercises designed for pregnancy.
“It’s helping me to feel strong so come my due date, hopefully it will help with the recovery as well.
“I’ve also been swimming three times a week and I’ve found that great for easing aches and pains.
“I feel it in my back after a long day on my feet or if I’ve been carrying Sophia around all day myself, my back gets sore at the end of the day.
“I’m going to start a few pregnancy massages soon so I hope that will help too.
“I’m keeping exercise gentle, a walk too with the pram is great. I’m feeling well stretched and feeling strong as much as possible.”
The nutritionist also said she’s eating more or less the same as she did pre-pregnancy.
“I’m eating more or less the way I did before pregnancy. I am finding I’m getting full, I can’t manage big meals anymore so I’m just grazing throughout the day, little and often and eating nutritious foods,” she admitted.
“I’m taking all my supplements, being particularly careful about taking iron, calcium, vitamin D, all the nutrients you need in pregnancy but then I’m adding a little bit more as I’m carrying twins.
“All my bloods look good, no sign of anaemia, so what I’m doing is all good for the boys to grow well.
“I’m being careful about the choices I’m making with my eating, since the first trimester I haven’t had any major cravings.
“I’m still eating a lot of fruit as it’s easy to digest.”
