This week we talked with Chantale, Canadian surrogate. She is a repeat surrogate, but her second journey didn’t go as she had hoped. If you don’t know, Canadian surrogates don’t get compensated like US surrogates, therefore their matching process is a little different than ours. Meaning surrogates and IPs tend to have a deeper or more friendly bond, and in Chantale’s case this friendly bond goes all the way back to high-school. Tune in to hear the up and the unfortunate downs that Chantale has experienced in her journeys and where she is now. 💕

This week we talked with Alycia, a Canadian Surrogate. She has experienced many ups and downs in her first journey, including a missed miscarriage. 

Alycia shares her experience with us and you in hopes that her words and journey might help others who have experienced the same thing or are going through something similar.

Alycia, thank you so very much for sharing your story and grief. We understand how hard it is to talk about these type of situations, but we also understand how important it is. So thank you for opening up with us and the community 💕 We wish this type of thing never happened to anyone, but the sad truth is that it does and we don’t want anyone to feel alone.

Again, our hearts go out to all the Surrogates, their families, and the Intended Parents who have experienced loss. 🤍 

Please be aware that this conversation at times might be a bit graphic. If you are not in the right state to hear this conversation please do what is best and needed for you. 💕

We’re back with another Friday Facts!!! This week we talk about C-Sections! And between the 4 of us women there have been 10 C-Sections. So if you have never experienced one or are curious to learn more about them, or even if you have experienced one this is such a great conversation to listen to. And if you have any tips or tricks or questions please drop them in the comments below. 💕 

And as an outsider (someone who has not experienced this) I just want to say to all those c-section mamas out there, you are badass! A warrior! I thought I knew what it meant to have a c-section and the recovery of one, but it wasn’t until speaking in depth with these 3 ladies that I truly understood just what that entails for you and your support team. 💕

This week we talked with Grace who is a 2 time surrogate. Grace’s first journey was so beautiful that she is now on her second journey with the same couple for a sibling journey. 💕 But unfortunately is hasn’t been as smooth and simple as the first one.

Grace and her IPs sadly experienced a second trimester loss. Grace opened up with us and you in hopes that her words and journey might help others who have experienced the same thing. 

Please be aware that this conversation at times might be a bit graphic. If you are not in the right state to hear this conversation please do what is best and needed for you. 💕 

But as for Grace, thank you so incredibly much for sharing your story and your grief. We wish this type of thing never happened to anyone, but the sad truth is that it does and we don’t want anyone to feel alone.

Our hearts go out to all the Surrogates, their families, and the Intended Parents who have experienced loss. 🤍

This week we talk about all the IVF meds! What types there are and how they can make you feel. Nowadays there are so many ways to prep for a transfer, it becomes confusing and sometimes overwhelming. We even sometimes compare and that leads us to overthink and get in our heads when things are different for us than the “norm” that we see on social media. Tune in to hear a few different ways a surrogate can prepare her body with IVF meds.

And please feel free to leave a comment on what protocol you were given for IVF meds and how they made you feel. 💕
