Rosanna Davison and husband Wes Quirke are expecting their first child.
The model recently took to Instagram to reveal that the couple are expecting a baby girl in November by gestational surrogate.
The former Miss World 2003 announced on her post that the couple are expecting their first child via surrogate after a “very tough journey” for the couple with “multiple miscarriages along the way”.
The 35 year old nutritional writer and daughter of musician Chris DeBurgh said that she and her husband ‘dreamed of being parents for many years.’
She explained that she would have loved to carry her own baby but for “reasons unknown” she was unable to sustain any of her pregnancies, “despite the best efforts of reproductive immunology experts & a lot of immune-suppressant medication, injections, intravenous infusions & surgery.”
“Following medical advice”, she said, “gestational surrogacy abroad became our only viable option for a biological child & we’re so thankful for the wonders of modern medicine & reproductive science.”
Thankful
In her social media post Rosanna thanked her surrogate for keeping their daughter, “healthy and safe.”
“We already love her so much & can’t wait to finally hold her!” she added.
The nutritionist noted on Instagram that she knew “too well” that pregnancy loss and fertility struggles can be a “profoundly lonely, frightening, devastating experience” for women and men alike.
Rosanna advised: “As painful as it is, I’ve found that talking about it openly with trusted family & friends is deeply healing & greatly helps to reduce the stigma & sense of helplessness.”
Rosanna who lives in Dublin has been in a relationship with Quirke, since 2006.
They were engaged in 2013 and wed in the summer of 2014.
