Why Surrogacy India?

For those of you who do not yet know, I am a diabetes specialist nurse and work at an emergency hospital in the South of Sweden. All wards at the hospital, of course, have their own speciality and so has mine. The big difference between us and all the rest of wards is that our speciality is to be able to look at the whole situation and the patients health in a larger perspective. In other words, we are specialists in situations where multiple illnesses (together) make the person in need of emergency care. Before we send the person back home, we look at the home situation aswell - do they manage their daily life or do they need help at home? For example, sometimes the reason might be a beginning dementia that causes the person forgetting the medicines, which in turn caused the health problem why this person needed hospital care. Sweden is wonderful in that way, we have a great social care system, providing (elderly) people support and care at home - or at a nursing home if they are to ill to stay at home. This holistic way of looking at a person feels so right and I love my ward aswell as my colleagues.

Around a year ago, when I was making LOTS of research about surrogacy in general and while we were looking for the best choice for our surrogacy journey, I came in touch with dr. Sudhir. I instantly felt a great connection and that SI was right for us. Why? Well, it is about the same thing as my ward: SI looks at the whole situation. Not only surrogacy, not only the IP's issues, not only nothing! They have the same holistic view - they see each unique, complicated situation where different people from all all around the world need their help in order to make it possible to have a child. SI does not only provide us with a surrogate mother; SI makes sure, we have a safety of having two incredible doctors, a good lawyer, help from a fantastic travel agency, a great (and beautiful) team SI who keeps us up to date and organizes everything, drivers etc. All of them are not further than an email of phone call away.

For us it felt important to make an active choice of surrogate. And the surrogate to be able to choose us aswell. It is so important that our connection feels right. Also, I was always so correctly, friendly and wholeheartedly met by dr. Sudhir who answered all the millions of questions I had. We also wanted to make sure our surrogate is well treated and provided the best possible care. At SI our N has the possibility to regularly talk to a psychologist, be active in yoga lessons, get help with her housework, learn something new, find out activities along with other surrogates, live together with her family or alone - just sthe way she wants. She might even get a full time job as surrogate care taker after her surrogacy journey is finished. SI celebrates and appreciates these fantastic women as they are just as important as the Intended Parents. I like that.

Why I'm I writing this now? Well, I just spoke to dr. Yash and once again, I'm so grateful. N is doing fine. The amniotic fluid is still a little lower than perfect but it has increased. Her blood pressure is under good control. Dr. Yash expects her to be at the hospital a couple of more weeks, at least. But she seemed positive and said N has stabilized very well. She sounded also more optimistic about the due date. She said at 36 weeks is the very latest for N but not totally impossible to reach! Hence, I might get the best birthday present ever, or we get a wonderful little Christmas gift from SI? I feel uplifted, especially as I am looking at the tiny-winy preemie socks I bought the other day. They are way to small and seem like something to put on our fetus right now, in order to keep his or her feet warm in the uterus. I so hope our baby will be to big to wear them!
There is a saying in Swedish: to use both suspenders and belt. It means about the same that "better safe than sorry".  Today I'm very grateful that SI is working preventive. We need you and our sweet N needs you! Thank you for being there for us!
Love,
Anu
