S3E24 Who?! The Unexpected and the Unbreakable: Claire on Being a Gestational Carrier
Summary
In this episode, Whitney sits down with Claire, a two-time gestational carrier who shares what it's like to walk through not one, but two very different surrogacy journeys. In her first experience, Claire opens up about navigating the heartbreak of a miscarriage followed by the joy of a successful embryo transfer. In her second journey, the pregnancy progressed smoothly until the anatomy scan revealed the baby had a congenital heart defect. This unexpected diagnosis brought new layers of emotion, medical planning, and continued hope as the journey unfolded.
Claire has experienced both the beauty and the challenges that come with helping grow a family through surrogacy. She speaks candidly about the emotional resilience required to walk this path, the deep connection between surrogates and intended parents, and what it means to show up with love and intention, even when things don't go as planned.
If you're looking for real stories, and a deeper understanding of the surrogacy experience, this conversation delivers.
