Something Was Wrong
S23 Ep9: Bad Marriage

I passed Caitlin in the hall and saw that they had set up one of the birth rooms and I said, oh my gosh, if I'm ever a surrogate, I want to deliver at the birth center because it's so beautiful. She stopped and she said, I'm going through files looking for a client that might want to be my surrogate. That sparked the conversation.

And then a few months later, my husband and myself and Caitlin and her husband, we were all sitting down at dinner, going over logistics and decided to move forward. They had just lost their son and were grieving and we were all hopeful to bring back a little bit of hope and love to their lives.

I have actually blocked out a lot of that because it was pretty traumatic for me. I do remember that it was a lot. We went through psyche vows. We had to do contracts. We each had our own lawyers. We did not go through an agency. We did one set of hormones. I actually had to wean my son early too, which is something that I look back on and I'm a little sad about.

Every round of hormones was brutal. We get to the day of transfer. It was a fresh transfer and we find out that none of the eggs were viable. So that did not work out and I had to abruptly stop the hormones. So that was awful. That was torture on my body. I did not feel comfortable complaining to Caitlin or anything. I felt like, what do you have to complain to her about?

She is devastated of her own accord. And then we did another transfer. So all new hormones start all over again, six months or whatnot later. And then that resulted in her baby that was born in July of 2017. It felt like I was getting good care. I rotated just like they did with their clients.

So I saw Caitlin for one appointment, then Gina, and then their other midwife that was working with them at the time. I felt like they did a good job during prenatal. I don't feel like anything was off. Caitlin wanted to do massive amounts of blood work. She was overly protective of not even me. It was her son that she was overly protective of.

I think at one point I was taking 36 vitamins per day, but I don't feel like anything was off during pregnancy. There were no red flags for me at all. Caitlin was extremely anxious to meet her son, rightfully so. I was anxious, as any pregnant woman is. She decided she wanted to induce the midwife way, which is stripping membranes, doing the breast pump, all of those things.

I kind of had some hesitations, but no alarm bells going off or anything like that. I was over 39 weeks. She's stripping membranes and I'm doing the breast pump. Finally, she gets me into labor. My contractions have been pretty regular. Nothing was really painful. It gets to later in the day and he keeps putting his hand up above his head and they get him to put his hand down.
