Rosanna Davison broke down in tears when she heard babies' heartbeats for the first time

Rosanna Davison broke down in tears when she heard her babies’ heartbeats for the first time.

But the mum-to-be admitted she felt a sense of guilt sharing her news with the world and those struggling to conceive.

The former Miss World beauty hit headlines last month when she announced she and hubby Wes Quirke are expecting identical twin boys later this year.

The news came after Rosanna, 36, opened up about suffering 14 miscarriages in the past, before welcoming her baby daughter Sophia through gestational surrogacy last November.

She told Georgie Crawford on her podcast The Good Glow: “They found a beating heart, I hadn’t got to that stage in the pregnancy before.

“I always lost them before they had a heartbeat.

“I burst into tears. I was like, ‘Wow this is incredible, I had never got to this stage before’.

“And then the following week he said, ‘Yes there are two in there’.

“And unfortunately, because of Covid, Wes wasn’t able to come to any of the scans.

“So I was on my own, shaking, crying, everything.

“It is quite funny to look back on now.”

Touching on some of the other emotions she faced whilst coming to terms with the surprise pregnancy, Rosanna admitted she suffered from nerves and guilt before making her announcement.

She added: “I felt nervous about sharing our news. I felt guilty for the women out there who are struggling and still haven’t had their baby joy yet.

“Because I’ve spoken a lot about my passion and empathy for anyone going through fertility struggles and what a lonely and traumatic and devastating road it can be.”
