Thank you for this, we are considering this after 3 failed IVF cycles and I have all the same fears you talked about. It is nice to hear such an honest experience. Would love to hear an update how your family is doing now.
I truly appreciate you! I'm 41 and almost 38 weeks with my IVF Donor egg baby. And I'm scared that I won't have that bond and to see you express the bond you felt after delivering her really helps me. I'm also having a girl and looking forward to meeting her. Sincerely Thank You!
Thank you for making this video. I selfishly don’t want to use my husbands sperm and an egg donor. He wants that. I’m so torn up about it! You’re so right… it’s hard to talk to anyone that doesn’t truly get it.
The thought of loving my husband so much that I would love to carry a mini-him helps me so much. I think he is an amazing person with so many good qualities. It gives me a sense of control to think that his genes will play a role too. Hope this helps! Wish you all the best!
Congrats on your baby girl and the strength you have had to go on this journey!! I’ve had a similar journey and now have a beautiful baby girl through IVF DE. Just wanted to add if it helps at all, I think of myself as her biological Mom as I gave birth to her and the genetic side of it as the donor, genetic background 😁 really helpful to hear I’m not alone!!❤
Such a brave and honest mindset to have. You gave life to Matilda, are with her every step of the way and you are each other’s everything. You can see that you both have an incredible bond, she adores you and you adore her ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video. You gave voice to my many fears and insecurities. As loving and supportive as my husband is, I agree that there is a fundamental difference in his relationship to the baby, so it's hard for me to feel that he truly understands. Your words have been so helpful. Thank you.
Hello, many thanks for your lovely message, and i am glad you could relate to my video and the things i was saying. I hope you are well, and that your feeling a little better about your situation. lots of love xxx
You are absolutely lovely. Matilda is a very fortunate child to have been made by you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. Wish you and your family all the best
Just want to say - you are amazing and strong for speaking out (and I hope it was therapeutic as well). I am at the start of the birdge, I never thoght i could go down the egg donor path. But after failed IVF and much grieving the feeling of acceptance comes around. Stories like yours really help, just wanted to let you nnow that.
Thank you for your bravery and honesty to share your story. It is helping me to go through the emotions of starting this journey. It is wonderful to know and see the loving bond you have between you and your child. Thank you.
Hello lovely, thank you for your comment, and I wish you all the best in your journey. Go with your feelings and always remember why you’re doing it. Lots of love xx
Thank you for an amazing video 🥰I am currently 9weeks with DE. I am having the same feelings like you had. I am worrying the most about how they will feel about me when growing older. I am afraid;they will tell me “ you are not my real mom” when we arguing. Have a nice day, happy new year:) ❤️
Your welcome, thank you for reaching out and glad my video could be of some help to you. Bless your heart, it’s a difficult situation but I can assure you, all will work out in the end. I hope your pregnancy goes smoothly xxxx
Hello lovely, thank you very much for your comment, congratulations on the pregnancy, i hope you're doing well. I think it must be quite common for these feelings as a few of us have felt this way, i hope that you are feeling a little more settled about it now. I can tell you now, 2 years on the worries i expressed in this video are very minor now which is amazing. Keep on going, you're doing great, you're feelings are valid, just ride with it. xxx
Hello, thank you very much for your comment i appreciate it. I am doing it a kind and gentle way, i just say that a lovely kind lady gave mummy and daddy a present that was a egg. Ive got some books as well which we will start to read soon. xx
Thank you for this video and answering this question. I and my hubby talking about donor egg. My worry is what if I don’t bond with the baby and what if I lose her when she/ he older knowing I’m not the bio mom. I know I sound selfish and I keep trying to stop my self. I want to come to terms with it.
