Rosanna Davison

[Cáca_Milis]

She looks like a cast member of Footballer's Wives. So tacky, so dated and trashy. She really needs a make over..... Or under?! Herself and Claudine Keane are really stuck in the 90's W.A.G. era.

 

[Tarzipan]

I suppose if she was nice she wouldn't have used a disadvantaged woman's womb in the Ukraine!

Oh ffs , come on!! The surrogacy debate has happened on this thread before, don’t kick it off again.

 

[MiamooMoo]

I would just love to see her one day, no full face, eyelashes, hair curled or filter, just be normal not a stepford wife.

Theres an extremely dark side to surragacy that people dont (cant) soeak about…all surrogate mothers sign NDAs and cannot speak about the experience…im sure 99% of babies born to surrogacy are loved and treated well but there have been cases where a child was born with a disability and literally left behing in ukraine by biological parents (they would have no emotional connection to the baby having not experienced the baby) the surrogate mother is then left to care for the disabled child or it ends up in an orphanage…you dont even want to think about what happens there
Surrogacy in theory is amazing (ie sister to sister etc) but when its commercial its just so wrong and exploitative.
I agree its awful the laws in this country dont support surrogate mothers but its probably the most complex legal issue out there as there are so many ‘what ifs’ and different outcomes….

The best news story of 2020

 

[Picture123]

Does it really matter, are babies conceived via IVF inferior than those conceived naturally? Personally, I'm delighted for her. My main gripe is she's given so much gifted stuff and is a prime position to put it to good use by regifting to charity etc.

The way she's documented the surrogacy is really distasteful imo. Fair enough explain the situation, but going on about it is another.
It literally took the year between looking for a surrogate and being handed the baby. This only happens to very wealthy, privileged people.
Surrogacy is a very lengthy and costly road that many people cannot go down. She seems to show no sensitivity to those people.

I have huge concerns about surrogacy and I'm always surprised how willingly people go along with it as if it's normal. Firstly rich women are never ever surrogates. They pay poor women to do it. So immediately it turns the surrogate into a commodity. Secondly pregnancy and childbirth are risky. Best case scenario you hand over the baby with a few extra stretch marks and a sore gee. Worst case you die in childbirth, have a bad haemorrhage, need a hysterectomy, get a tear, become incontinent, get pnd......the list is endless. I understand Rosanna had heartbreak, but it doesn't give her the right to buy a women's body. I think surrogacy is going to be very harshly judged in the future. I think doing it for a family member is completely different btw

 

[Canyouactuallycope]

Putting a throwback up of your twins pregnancy scan? Bit personal for social media - not sure why she would feel the need to share this!

We all know her heartbreaking story but seriously would she ever stop posting pregnancy throwback, she's always at it. And sorry but I'm sick looking at the back of her kids heads. If you don't want your kids on SM good for you but it must be hard work snapping pictures making sure all 3 aren't facing the camera. Why bother, just leave them off SM.

Just saw a headline somewhere this morning, Rosanna hasn't ruled out having a 4th child....
Which begs the question...was her inability to have children really an issue?
Sounds more and more like a publicity stunt.

That’s a disgusting suggestion to make. There are many ways to bring a 4th child into her family, including surrogacy which she’s already done and adoption.

 

[Shaunthesheep80]

The magazine cover is very odd. Rosanna regal in a chair, surrogate lower, kneeling on the floor. Who thought that was a good idea?

 

[Natterbox80]

I remember her Playboy cover...... Did she say her dad approved of the pictures and was proud of her? THERES NO WAY ON EARTH I'D SHOW ME DA PICS OF ME WITH ME BAPS OUT!!

My Dad practically catapults himself out of my house when I go to breastfeed my child

 

[Frilly Milly]

Rosanna portrays an illusion that she's the infertility guru and especially so after her miracle twins, just relax, it'll happen eventually craic, and sure if it doesn't, rob a bank and hire a womb from an impoverished young woman (and I'm not getting into that debate, it's my opinion).

As a person she does not, and I think cannot, read the room. Her Instagram page, which is what tattle is here to discuss, has been nothing but baby bombs since the twins birth in particular. Her fashion sense is 1980s Dynasty era, and makeup and hair have remained almost stagnant in looks for as long as. I simply cannot fathom how young women aspire to her, follow her, like her.

 

[blondeminion15]

I see Rosanna had some sponsored content for a Carter Beauty face mask - which she put on top of a face full of make up??!! I know she’s never seen without an over made up face, but who does that?!?! Then peels the mask off and shows us her glowy skin afterwards - of course it’s glowy, you’ve probably got Charlotte T to thank for that!

What?? That is actually pathetic. Surely that's against advertising standards??? How sad that as a grow woman (who happens to be stunning) she clearly suffers from deep rooted insecurities regarding her appearance. What kind of message is that to send her daughter?

You are correct - I have a friend based in Uk who went thru rounds of ivf that failed and years of misery & then went on to get a donor egg and do surrogacy in the Ukraine ( husbands sperm but her egg quality was dire) . About 3 months before baby was due we went on a huge piss up and she got so drunk and started saying they are still trying naturally if she got pregnant now “she wouldn’t have to keep the other baby” and she was having a freak out of not bonding etc . She said another couple she knew got pregnant while going thru surrogacy and kept the 2 ( like wtf isn’t that meant to be a given ) . I was actually sick to my stomach that she was actually thinking that way and that it would even come up as a “would we keep him” . I know she was totally drunk but made me think … if the baby was born with a serious illness would she back out or would she really want to raise him . I dunno there are a lot of red flags with surrogacy and literally it was done thru a private agency and I doubt many checks etc were done. They have their baby now and she has bonded etc but still … always that seed of doubt that they baby could be abandoned at birth if something goes wrong also just to note she’s not a horrible person she’s actually lovely so if someone nice and normal is saying that …. Imagine a total narcissist nutter going thru the process

Tattle is not gonna be the place for you love

I've been around here for a while now actually and am all for using the forum. The Good Ole "it's tattle" argument is just another way of saying "I've no other relevant points for my argument so agree with my opinion or shut up" ... Tattle... A place to voice opinions, as you have done and so have I.
And just to be clear: *I am not a Rosanna fan!* I actually find her usually quite boring and her lifestyle is not something I find very relatable at all! So you won't find me skipping over to the "Rave" section any time soon! There are plenty of things you could possibly give out about about this woman, but I will not be giving out about her for looking too good after giving birth, going through surrogacy, getting pregnant, or highlighting fertility issues among women. That is all!
And before you go reporting me, I appreciate you are entitled to your opinion too. I genuinely wanted more clarification on some of things discussed as I honestly don't understand some of the points and needed more info!

 

[Chooeytwo]

They used to be clients where I worked- she was lovely, very friendly and absolutely stunning in person.

as someone that’s had repeated miscarriages, there was zero cost to the health system and surely if I had needed to go into hospital, that’s what I’m paying my taxes towards.

 

[Evilp]

I get your point

I can see where you are coming from and



I get where you are coming from and at one stage might have felt the same. When you really grapple with the concept of severe infertility though, it becomes very very different. You put everything on the table. My friends used a commercial surrogate. She has 2 children of her own, and with the money from surrogacy she went from a very poor life to being able to give her children a college education. She was very well informed and supported throughout. Herself and my friend became very close, and remain so. She was so honoured to be able to give them their family- she often talked about how proud she was. Lots of jobs people do come with risks to varying degrees. Surely almost any employment is the transfer of the use of a person's body, mind or both for financial gain. I think so long as the industry is regulated, the surrogates are inform and partake with free will and are well cared for physically and emotionally, it can be a wonderful thing. The documentary you, me and surrogacy was an excellent portrayal of normal people with heartbreaking stories. I think it gave a really realistic and balanced view of surrogacy.

I am not cruel and I do understand the desperation that underpins the surrogacy choice. However no one is entitled to a baby by any means nessesary especially when it risks the surrogacys health. When Kim Kardashian or Princess Kate act as a surrogate for someone i'll reconsider. Surely you can see that having to risk your health to give your children an education is a terrible thing and efforts should go to enabling women to do that without selling their wombs. It's such an unbalanced relationship, of course the surrogate was grateful! In your example you say they went from desperate poverty to being able to educate her kids. That's not an altruistic act, it's taking advantage of a desperate person and risking her health. Also the from your post sounds like they used a third world country. They would have to as commercial surrogacy is banned in much of Europe and the women of Europe and given the protection of not havijg to sell their bodies to feed their kids

 

[Frilly Milly]

How, how has she found the time to write a book when she's looking after 3 small kids

I'd say looking after herself takes more time than what she spends taking care of her children. She's got grandparents nearby, but no doubt a cleaner or two, a night nanny, daytime childminder, and a housekeeper that manages the laundry etc. Can't imagine herself even doing a shop in Dunnes and handing over her €10 vouchers and running back to get something else to be able to get another €10 off
She's unrelatable and fake. And I'd say very precious.

 

[Airy-fairy]

It's fine and dandy to have surrogacy in a regulated first/second world country. But when you have surrogacy in a third world, underdeveloped, socialist country where those who can hardly get bread and don't even know what college is, is so so different. Women who don't want to, but HAVE to give their bodies up to have a baby, just to put food on the table, to exist.
Rosanna did a disservice to the industry by keeping all vague. No questions could be asked off her.
And the way they both waited around the hospital at the time of the birth, they were like vultures. And not one more mention of the surrogate once the birth was over. I just found it distasteful.
She had a chance to help other couples with fertility issues, but instead had a 'miracle' with the twins. I don't find her genuine.

 

[Newbie12359875]

I don't get why people are giving her grief for wearing make up, 5 mins is all it takes. And if it makes her feel good, fair play. Heavens knows emotions after giving birth and zero sleep.

Its a lovely story she had her babies after all the heartache. Gives so many hope
