Rosanna Davison reveals her anxiety ahead of daughter Sophia starting pre-school this week

Former Miss World Rosanna Davison has admitted she feels “quite anxious” ahead of Sophia starting pre-school this week.

The mum-of-three said she’s “scared of change” ahead of the new regime.

Sharing a post on Instagram over the weekend, she said: “Absolutely all of these. With Sophia starting preschool next week and a busier routine coming up, I have been quite anxious lately. Just trying to be gentle with myself and accept that it’s ok to be scared of things.”

Rosanna and husband Wes Quirke are also parents to twin boys Hugo and Oscar. Rosanna previously said she was trying to “soak up every moment” with her daughter ahead of the return of the school season.

She shared at the time: “Sophia starts preschool in three weeks, so I’m trying to soak up every moment with her and make special memories together.

"I came across this sweet poem by @murphys_sketches a few days ago and thought it was lovely to read for anyone preparing their child for school.

"I’m mainly feeling really excited for her to begin this new adventure but just can’t believe how quickly her baby years at home with us have flown by.

“'You can do anything under the sun. I’m so proud of you, lots of love, mum'."

Rosanna and Wes welcomed Sophia through gestational surrogacy in 2019 in the Ukraine.

The day Sophia was born in 2019 was the day Rosanna first met her gestational surrogate, Anastasiia Berezan, or Nastia as she is known by family and friends.

“I remember feeling very grateful and also emotional because I felt that should have been my pregnancy, I should have been able to carry my own daughter, but I couldn’t, and it brought the whole human side of our pregnancy to the fore,” Rosanna said in an interview with Irish Country Magazine last week.

Rosanna said it was “nerve wracking” watching Anastasiia give birth to Sophia and she felt strange just handing her cheque afterwards.

“It was a quick labour and birth and I remember afterward Sophia was taken to be weighed and cleaned, and I just turned to Nastia and cried ‘thank you, thank you, thank you’.”

Anastasiia and her family have since had to flee Ukraine and with Rosanna and Wes’ help, they made their way to Ireland in May.
