Roxy revealed that she suffers from “a lot of pain” and “terrible insomnia.”
But after suffering a miscarriage last year, Roxy insists she’s “counting her blessings” and can’t wait to welcome her “baby girl” into the world.
Roxy took to her Instagram Stories on Monday and told her followers how difficult the past few weeks have been.
She began, “Last trimester… The past few weeks have been testing me, they’ve been really tough.
“I found the first trimester tough. Like the disease, I was throwing up about eight times a day. I threw up every day until about five or six months.
“And then I had a brief moment where I was like, ‘Oh! I’m actually feeling good again!’
“And now I literally can’t remember the last time I slept. Like I’m not kidding, I’m not. So yes, pregnancy is difficult for some people and I’m very jealous of those who enjoy their pregnancy.’
After her short rant, Roxy took to social media again to further clarify her points.
She explained, “Regarding my previous post, I just wanted to talk about authenticity. It’s clear that I’ve posted beautiful moments with my belly and I can’t wait to meet our little girl, but I think it’s also important for me to be transparent.
“I’ve been in a lot of pain, especially when I walk or stand for too long and the insomnia is terrible because I’m so uncomfortable.
“I’m struggling to do anything because I’m exhausted, which is frustrating when we have so much to do before the baby comes.”
“I’m stressed and sleep deprived and I still have the occasional day where I feel nauseous and throw up, even though I’m over eight months pregnant.
“But at the same time I’m smiling because I’m SO excited that our little girl is here and we have a little mover here, which is a great sign and reminds me why I’m going through all this.
“I have no idea why some people have pleasant, easy pregnancies and others struggle so much, but the end result is a beautiful thing, so that’s all that matters.”

Later that day, the model took to Instagram again to announce she would be doing a Q&A, inviting followers to ask questions.
Many were especially curious about the impact of her pregnancy on her type 1 diabetes, diagnosed in 2021.
One asked, ‘How’s the diabetes? In my last trimester, insulin was like water and did nothing.”
Roxy replied, “I’ve definitely had to increase my insulin a lot too, so you’re not alone, especially this last trimester!”
But I wouldn’t let type 1 diabetes stop someone from having a baby because you’re being watched so closely by your hospital team – mine has been incredible all along and helped me do it safely to rescue.
“Diabetes is a constant battle for me, just like before I was pregnant, some good days and some bad days.”
A second asked, “Did you become more insulin resistant in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters?” I’m afraid how bad it’s going to get.’
Roxy replied, “For me, becoming increasingly insulin resistant was the first sign of pregnancy, but once I adjusted my insulin (with careful monitoring) I didn’t need to change it much until close to the 3rd trimester, where I am now.” adjust my insulin. insulin all the time.
“I promise it’s manageable and your hospital team will be with you every step of the way.”
“Is there a chance your daughter has diabetes?” asked a third.
“My hospital team has told me that our baby’s chances of having it are almost as high as parents without type 1 diabetes babies.
‘My diabetes wasn’t hereditary, no one in my family has it – I do believe I got it from stress/trauma, but there’s no way to know for sure.

“No one really knows why people get type 1 diabetes, so I hope with all my heart that our baby is unlikely to get it.”
Another question asked, ‘Have you been trying to conceive for a long time? Colleague T1D and we are trying it, I’ve heard it can take a little longer for diabetics.’
Roxy admitted, “Everyone is so different. We miscarried last year before having a successful pregnancy. I count my blessings that we now have our baby girl on the way.’
The couple have been dating for over two years and they live with their pet dog Coco in a £17.5 million five-bedroom house in Notting Hill.
