Episode 145 – Michelle – mum
Michelle and her husband Jono have 2 sons through surrogacy, born 5 weeks apart. Michelle’s mum, Jasmina, at the age of 52, birthed Hugo in December 2022, and Jono’s sister, Sophie, mother of 3 herself, birthed Spencer in January 2023. Michelle needed a surrogate due to being born with a unicornuate uterus (half a uterus) and had unfortunately birthed angel baby, Ralph, at 18 weeks which nearly cost Michelle her life. This team exemplifies our saying of how, in surrogacy, it takes a village to make a child.
