Julie Loving is a 51-year-old who’s currently serving as a surrogacy carrier for her 29-year-old and son-in-law. The couple went through years of infertility, and despite the hesitation her daughter felt at first, the pregnancy is going like ‘in the textbooks’. The mom recently shared with Today Parents that she’s soon to be a ‘surrograndma’, and she couldn’t be prouder.
Breonna Lockwood, her daughter, tried to get pregnant naturally for years, but she and her husband Aaron ultimately turned to fertility treatments to seek help. The couple went through four failed embryo transfers, an ectopic pregnancy, and two miscarriages.
She and her husband eventually decided to look for another route to have a baby – surrogacy.
Breonna knew that her mom wanted to be helpful, but it was weird for her at first. However, a doctor’s appointment one day changed everything for the couple.
Her husband couldn’t attend one appointment, so Breonna went with her mom to the doctors.
Loving mentioned the idea during the appointment, and although the fertility specialist first didn’t think it was a good idea, they decided to go with it after all.
They made Loving go through all the tests to make sure she was as healthy as possible, especially because this is something unique. So far – so good.
Lockwood has since created the Instagram account @ivf.surrogacy.diary, where she shared updates of their journey, and the account gained a lot of popularity.
The family receives support from people all over the world, and they couldn’t be happier as they’re awaiting the baby later this year.
