Rosanna Davison said she struggled at the beginning.

Rosanna Davison has opened up about her surrogacy journey.

The mum-of-three has always spoken so honestly and bravely about her journey to motherhood, but fans are praising her more than ever after her recent words.

Rosanna told Newstalk that she was originally nervous about surrogacy because her baby would be so far away.

She shared;

“I was really grappling with the idea of another woman being pregnant with my child thousands of miles away.”

“I felt horrified at the beginning of another woman having my pregnancy.

Rosanna added, “I just felt it would be easier to take the human relationship element out of it and follow the commercial surrogacy side.”

The mum said she did find it difficult “to imagine her carrying my baby over there”.

However, she praised her surrogate Anastasiia for making her dream come true.

After suffering 14 miscarriages, Rosanna became a mum for the first time in November 2019.

She then welcomed twin boys in November 2020.

She said at the time, “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. 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.”
