Readers Questions Answered

I love the fact that people are interested in my journey. I have people telling me often how much they like reading my blog. It makes me feel like the readers are involved with me. So with that said I thought that as we go through this process anytime someone posts questions in their comments I would answer them.


After my last post a reader made this comment.....

Wow, seriously? That is so fascinating! Are you allowed to have sex at all? I mean, if you are married that's kind of a given but . . . I dunno, I'm so curious as to how this all works.

Do you get to hold the baby when it's born, or does it go straight to the mom?

WOW!

Ok, so to answer the questions...

#1 Yes I am allowed to have sex...with my husband. In the contract it states that for two weeks before the transfer and two weeks after we are to abstain to make sure that there would be no chance of us conceiving a child of our own.

#2 After the baby is born the first person to hold it will be the IM (intended mother) secondly the IF (intended father). I will get my chance after a while. This isn't my baby so the new family will get their time together. Once the baby arrives though that won't be the end for the IP's and my family. We plan to stay very close as we all feel like we are part of the other's family now.

Hopefully I have answered your questions dear follower. And to all of you other interested people, keep sending the questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

  1. My question is:
    Does the IP get to stay in the hospital with the baby? I've always been curious how that works.
