Was she secret pregnant or did they use a surrogate?

She has fibromyalgia and other medical issues so she likely used a surrogate for that reason

u/EdenEvelyn 14h ago edited 14h ago
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 15 and the idea of going through pregnancy and the postpartum period (especially the postpartum period with a newborn!) has been the final nail in the coffin for my choice to be childfree.
Surrogacy is definitely a bit of a moral grey zone but if I had the option of offering a woman who already had multiple children and wanted to be a surrogate a truly life changing amount of money so she could create generational wealth for her children and I could have a biological child I would probably do it.

They don’t pay surrogates enough money to create generational wealth…

I know lol, they get paid roughly the same as any other job they'd for about 12 months.

From my understanding, a surrogate in the U.S. costs at least $100k, usually closer to $150k, but I imagine more if there is some sort of NDA involved. The surrogacies that cost less than that are usually outside the country (Mexico, Georgia). Definitely not intergenerational wealth though.

u/breelynn312 1h ago
Yes, surrrogacy costs 100k to 150k, sometimes as much as 200k - but less than half of that goes to the surrogate. That total cost includes the agency fee, lawyer fees, and insurance. First time surrogates earn less than experienced surrogates. First timers usually earn 40-60k compensation (65 on the higher side, but I have seen 35k on the lower side). Experienced surrogates generally earn 60-85k (only less than a handful of times have I seen higher). Twin pregnancies carry bonus comp, but is generally not recommended by clinics - though some will do them. And please don't forget, this comp is sometimes taxed in some way (either as income or bonus comp, depending on a lot of factors).
But yeah, like you said, not generational wealth. In 2026, even if they were paid 100k or 150k (which they are not), it is not really life changing imo. It's a nice cushion though to pay some bills or maybe get you halfway to a downpayment on a house.

Having fibro, It was the worst pain in my entire life (so far) for the first 3 months. But then my immune system turned off basically and it was the best 6 months of my life.
I definitely wouldn’t do it again because the actual birth sent me into one of the worst flares ever. Couldn’t walk without a cane for about 3 months straight

I have RA and being pregnant was the best my body had felt in a long time. Pregnancy is so strange with how it interacts with chronic illness.

u/Monroe-dmc 13h ago
Same, I have AxSpa and terrible pains normally, but being pregnant made me feel normal for a bit. Rheumatologist said its because the body reacts different to a pregnancy. Normally your body is attacking itself with an autoimmune disease, but she said its very common for pregnant women with AI diseases to feel super healthy.

Yes! I have PMOS (formerly known as PCOS) and once out of first trimester pregnancy was literally the best I ever felt. All my hormones were balanced for the fist time in like a decade. I actually lost weight while pregnant!
I didn’t have symptoms for 3 years postpartum - if it wasn’t for PPD, that period would have also been included best I felt. unfortunately - symptoms came roaring back around my girl’s 3rd birthday.

I started nannying in my early twenties because of how much I wanted kids. I thought it would be perfect. I’d be able to stay home to raise my babies while also making some side income by watching another child or two. I loved every second of nannying but the exhaustion I felt after 6-8 hours, even with infants I adored who slept half my shift while I sat on the couch, was so overwhelming. Add in the pain on top and I was worried about the kind of mother I would be. I was on the fence and then I took a short term job with a little girl who was profoundly disabled and I realize that if I had a disabled child it would kill me. I would love them with every part of heart and be an amazing mother but the stress and the work would literally kill me.
If I had never nannied I’m sure I would have children or be planning on it and a part of me will always wish that was the path I’d chosen but I’ve made peace with my decisions and I’m happy where I am now. I still nanny part time almost a decade after I first started because of how much I love babies and toddlers but I’m content giving them back after a few hours and then going home to take an edible, soak in the bathtub and watch movies in bed. It’s not the life I pictured but it’s one I don’t regret at all.

I have the same and my pcp said the only time I will feel good is actually while being pregnant and getting stem cells from my own embryo. I thought for some reason it’d drain me of whatever energy I had left, but was informed I had the complete opposite assumption and didn’t realize it’d make me the healthiest and the most pain free I’ve ever been (I also have an immune deficiency).

In my country you can’t pay a woman to be a surrogate, they have to volunteer. Obviously you pay for everything related to the baby and pregnancy but you can’t actually pay the person doing it. I’m sure there are ways around it but a lot of people go abroad, Ukraine was a big place for this.

I don’t have a physical issue but take psychiatric medication that’s not compatible with pregnancy and that I just cannot stop taking. I’ve known two perfectly young women who died in childbirth out of nowhere so surrogacy is a hard no for me, I can’t imagine putting another woman at that kind of risk.

i wonder if they got it backwards? he has a company that uses donated skin to test cosmetics https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/s/fAsgoslTz6
and there were reports of the IDF illegally harvesting organs from IDF soldiers and Palestinians through the 90s and speculation that Israel's skin bank is mostly stolen skin from Palestinians.
here's the illegally harvesting organs source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Aftonbladet_Israel_controversy
In December 2009, Israeli officials admitted that they had harvested the organs of Palestinians without their families' permission.[3] These Palestinians had been killed by the Israeli military, but Israeli officials emphasized they did not kill Palestinians in order to harvest their organs.[4]
i couldn't find anything to back up the skin bank claim last time I looked so no idea if that's true or not
so maybe the connection is the Israeli skin bank? that's a real thing that exists. the only controversy, to my knowledge, is speculation around the source of the skin

Lady Gaga suffers from fibromyalgia and chronic migraines so yes it’s likely she used a surrogate.
In her Netflix documentary she talked about the complex pain she experiences everyday and how afraid she was that she would never be able to carry a child to term due to it.
