Surrogacy process - #17283
I never thought I’d be in this situation, but here we are. After five years of trying every possible fertility treatment, multiple failed IVF cycles, and an early miscarriage last year, my husband and I finally decided to go through the surrogacy process. It was not an easy decision – mentally, emotionally, or financially – but my body just couldn't handle another round of treatments. We found a clinic and matched with a surrogate a few months ago. The embryo transfer was successful, and now our baby is growing in her womb. I should be relieved, right? But instead, I feel this constant stress and guilt, like I’ve somehow failed as a mother before even holding my baby. Plus, my body is all out of whack. Ever since stopping my hormone medications after the embryo transfer, I’ve been dealing with extreme fatigue, bloating, digestive issues, and irregular periods (even though I wasn’t expecting them to come back so soon). My digestion feels sluggish, I’ve put on weight even though my diet hasn’t changed, and I just don’t feel like myself. A friend mentioned that Ayurveda could help balance my body and prepare me for motherhood in a more natural way. I don’t know much about it, but she said there are herbs and treatments that help with hormone recovery and emotional well-being. Since I’m not carrying the baby myself, I’m wondering if there’s anything specific in Ayurveda that supports women who go through the surrogacy process? Can it help with my energy levels and all these weird hormonal symptoms? Also, is there any Ayurvedic preparation I should do before bringing the baby home to bond with them better? I’m open to trying anything that could help me feel more connected to this journey and my future child. If anyone has gone through the surrogacy process and used Ayurveda to support their health, I’d love to hear about it.
