", she wrote on social media on Tuesday. "The doctor said that I'm only dilating 1 cm and that I guess I've got a 'steel cervix', so it does not really cooperate at this point." My review yesterday's pelvic was so painful that I fainted, then I started to hyperventilate because of this, which then led to a panic attack! Needless to say, I was a hot bazaar! "

Throughout her pregnancy, Rossi kept her fans informed, sharing photos and videos on social networks.

Earlier this year, Rossi opened at E! News of his first quarter "really difficult".

"My first quarter nearly hurt me, I mean it was really hard for me," Rossi said. "I was so sick that I could barely get up from bed." I struggled so much, but then the second quarter was amazing, so much better. "
