Naomi chats with Charlotte, who has two children of her own, but is currently pregnant as a surrogate for her friend.

They discuss: wanting to be a surrogate despite not enjoying being pregnant, donating eggs, the problem with laws around surrogacy in the UK, the different feeling from carrying your own child to carrying someone else’s, building a birth plan when the person giving birth isn’t the mother.

If you’re interested in becoming a surrogate or donating your eggs, listen to the end of the episode for some useful links.
