“WE’RE HAVING A BABY,” Strijd captioned her post. “2 years ago I got diagnosed with PCOS [Polycystic ovary syndrome], after not getting my period for years. I was devastated because being a mom and starting a family with @laurensvleeuwen is my biggest dream.” (SLIDESHOW: 142 Times Josephine Skriver Stunned Fans On Instagram)
“I was so scared that I would never be able to because I got told it was harder to get babies in a natural way,” she added, while she explained the condition known as PCOS which prevents a woman from having a regular period cycle, had prevented her from getting pregnant.
The lingerie model continued, “I started to research PCOS and came to the conclusion that mine was not the typical PCOS.” She said she made some changes in her lifestyle/diet and that changed everything.
“I’m so happy and grateful to say that I got my period back last November AND that WE’RE SOON A FAMILY OF THREE,” Romee concluded her post. “And to the women trying to conceive, believe in yourself and be nice for yourself and your body and don’t let those thoughts get to you too much.”
