Pregnant By Proxy: Woman Whose Belly Keeps Growing Is Blinded By Ultrasound Results

Introspective

When Shaniece was 21, she met Joanna and Steve. Once she told her family she had decided to help her new friends by giving birth to their baby, her sense of joy and pride was reflected by her family’s reaction to the news. She had to have the procedure done in Los Angeles and then flew home. Things were about to get a bit difficult.

A Sense of Disquiet

At 21, many young adults are partying and drinking. Not Shaniece though. She was only focused on her dream of surrogacy and making sure another family’s future happiness included a baby. The baby’s parents were so excited, but after her first trimester, Shaniece had the unsettling feeling that all was not well with the pregnancy.
