It's My Body. It's Not My Baby | Our Untold Stories

Arianne was under general anesthetic when she delivered another family’s son. She has no memory of the birth. After carrying her own children, Arianne loved being pregnant so much she wanted to do it again without raising another child. She signed up to be a surrogate and matched with a couple. Her first surrogate birth went by the book. The second didn’t. Things start to go awry. She had mere seconds to agree to the surgery she had planned to avoid. Then, she was put under. She shares the journey to her own personal growth in standing up for herself. On Our Untold Stories, we save the job title for the end. Guess what Arianne does for a living before the final question. ------ Note: Some of the links in this video are affiliate links, meaning I earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. ------ Bring the conversation home!
