Romee Strijd is zwanger!

Romee Strijd is in verwachting van haar eerste kindje! Dat maakt ze middels een bericht op Instagram wereldkundig.

Het zwanger worden was voor Romee echter niet vanzelfsprekend. Het topmodel lijdt namelijk aan PCOS waardoor ze last heeft van een zeer onregelmatige eisprong. Romee kwam tot de conclusie dat het jachtige modellenleven (reizen, elke dag trainen, een speciaal dieet) de situatie er niet beter op maakte. “Ik ging daarom minder zwaar trainen, meer eten en gunde mezelf meer rust. Binnenkort zijn we met zijn drietjes een gezin!”, meldt ze op Instagram.

WE’RE HAVING A BABY 💗 2 years ago I got diagnosed with PCOS after not getting my period for 7 years. I was devastated because being a mom and starting a family with @laurensvleeuwen is my biggest dream.. 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.. I started to research PCOS and came to the conclusion that mine was not the typical pcos.. Mine was because of my body being in fight or flight mode.. which means my body was under constant stress. I never felt mentally super stressed so it was hard te understand this, but my life consisted of travelling all the time (no biorhythm), working out every day, eating super clean (restricting foods). I think I pressured my body to much, and honestly every body is so different but I think my weight was not good for my body to function properly and couldn’t handle the constant traveling. This was the point where I started to research natural healing for PCOS and came to the conclusion that I should do way less high intensity training, don’t restrict foods, be nice to myself, and take breaks when needed. I also tried some natural supplements, acupuncture and we got a place back in the Netherlands as well, so we could spend more time with Family (since im such a family person). 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 ❤ ❤❤❤ & 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 to much 😚
