The donts of supporting friend experiencing RPL - surrogacy
34 female. Two miscarriages in under a year. Saw a fertility specialist and I learned I have a unicornuate uterus. Half of a uterus essentially. It’s super rare. Pregnancy is still possible. But it will be more difficult and higher risk. Needless to say, I am devastated. I told a few close friends. Most of them have children. And two of them immediately offered to be my surrogate. I’m sure they didn’t mean to be offensive. But they offered before even asking if surrogacy is something I would be interested in (I’m not). In a time where everything felt so raw, it felt like just another reminder of ‘I get to experience pregnancy and you don’t’.
Has anyone else had friend offer ‘support’ but the message was received the way it was intended?
