our dear surrogate was admitted to hospital for a few days due to an infection, it was the first time during this whole journey that I felt really helpless, it helped knowing that she was in the best possible place under the care of Dr Shivani and SCI. we were relieved to hear that all was well with both our surrogate and the babies yesterday. we are 32 weeks now and the recent scare has made sure that our suitcases are packed.
we are waiting on a scan on friday so hoping all is ok and the babies are growing big and strong. we are getting the room ready ready now and its starting to look baby friendly :)
the other upsetting thing is the Irish government are in the process of passing a law banning commercial surrogacy abroad , criminalising it in fact,myself and other IPs are contacting the officials in charge of this but its very upsetting dealing with government officials who think they are rightand refuse to listen to those of us who are on this journey.but we are not giving up and will continue to fight this.
i will update on friday following the next scan and report.
I'm glad she's okay!
ReplyDeleteWhen do you plan to leave?
How will the law affect surrogacy in India? Commercial surrogacy is illegal here in Canada so many people look elsewhere.
We plan on heading over week 37 unless babies arrive before that.
ReplyDeleteYes it was such a relief that the iv helped and they are all ok:-)
The irish government are planning on banning irish citizens travelling abroad for surrogacy as well. Its to be passed by the end of the year.it will be a criminal offence to do so. Us IPs are trying to speak out and make them listen as to how unfair this would be but there is a lot of negative media on surrogacy in India right now with and this is influencing them instead. We will continue to fight this.
Ps huge congrats on your excellent beta result :-)
Thank you :)
DeleteOne would think that a government would give due diligence on a matter as important as this instead of allowing themselves to be influenced. Yes, public opinion matters in government, but the facts should matter more.
I'm so sorry! What will they do for people who are already expecting?
Exactly thanks for your support, they will have to have an exemption for those already expecting however there will be a issue around frozen embroys that are in storage in the clinics.
DeleteWe are waiting on 32 week update tomorrow so looking forward to that, wont be too long until you get your next update :-)
