Without all of you helping shine a positive light on surrogacy none of this would have been possible 💗

Let's talk about relationships and intimacy during a surrogacy journey. There is a time in a journey when abstinence is usually required and it could last longer if you are carrying multiples or put on bed rest.

While we surrogates may be the ones going through the process and taking a lot on with being pregnant and still trying to do all the super mom things of cleaning, laundry, etc. There may come a time when we need to ask for help. OH MY WORD WHAT!? I know that is something the majority of us have a hard time acknowledging and accepting, but it's okay to ask. 

We all hope never to have to ask, but a journey is a mystery and we never know what will happen. We dive into talking about how it feels to release some of our duties to our partners and how our partners feel watching us go through the highs, the lows, and the in-between on these journeys.

This is definitely a great podcast for partners to listen in on to get some information, especially if this is their first journey.

This week is a bit different. My two close friends and I have been on a 2 year journey, which isn’t the norm for surrogates.

We were all talking and thought maybe we should address what it’s really like to be on such a long, emotionally tiring journey. Each of us has a different reason/path as to why it is taking so long and we talk about how the emotional rollercoaster has been.

We all address some stigmas that we can say with 100% certainty are not true! 

Please know if you’re a first time surrogate this is not the norm, but it is possible to take this long. 2 years of all our lives have been put on hold and yet we still are pushing forward wanting so much to help someone have a baby. 💕

Embrace Your Fertility’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embraceyourfertility?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

This week meet Lauren Haring, a fertility coach. You may be wondering , “What is a fertility coach?” Well luckily Lauren explains in depth what it is she does and how she helps those in the process of IVF.

As patients in the IVF community we have so many questions and often times are too afraid to rock any boats to ask them. That’s where a fertility coach like Lauren comes in! She helps explain each step of the process, each medication and what it’s used for, the possible outcomes of tests, she helps by giving her client’s knowledge. Knowledge is power! 

This is a definite MUST LISTEN! After speaking with Lauren we both truly wish that a fertility coach becomes standard in the surrogacy process for both intended parents and surrogates. 🤍

Alex’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alex_bowers15?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Meet Alex a 2x surrogate. She shares her journeys and how much she loved her first journey, that she wanted to start her second journey almost immediately! However, she didn’t expect her second journey to be so wildly different than her first.

Alex also explains how she handled the ups and downs and ultimately came to accept that journey #2 was her final journey.

If you are feeling alone or struggling to cope with things you have encountered in your journey, first please know that you are not alone! So many of us surrogates go through things in the dark and we shouldn’t have to. Please feel free to reach out to us or any surrogate you know, I guarantee you that one of us knows someone going through something similar that can help. Secondly, don’t be afraid to reach out to your agency or the psychologist you interviewed with for this journey. These people are in place to help you. 💕 

Remember, every story is important and every story matters.
