The one thing that sickens me in all of this has nothing to do with them being 2 men or Aoife being the surrogate. I had my son in summer 2020 & barely got time with my hubby in recovery when I then spent 3 days in hospital by myself (covid rules at time with newborn). Spring 2021 I had to have a colostomy bag fitted, again 14 days in hospital with no visitors allowed at all at a time of such change & upheaval & emotional trauma to me. Earlier this year I had a hysterectomy (I have MS, pregnancy & birth caused me irreparable damage) and I was only allowed an hour visit a day for 2 days.
I’ve been through the worst alone.
They’ve been allowed an extra person into every scan/appointment - they’ve been allowed film scans and appointments that we aren’t allowed to do, they’ve been allowed an extra person AND A CANERA CREW at the birth and all because of €€€€.
That’s the only sickener here isn’t it
Exactly this!!
No one will ever say these two shouldn't have a baby here, not because they are men, not because they are gay not because they used a family member who selflessly brought their beautiful bub into the world, not because x, y,z.
BUT!! Ordinary people with no large followings on Instagram and haven't been on tv have been through strict rules since covid. Especially in maternity hospitals and they are still in place in some areas two years on.
I will never forget how lonely I felt after, hormones, in pain and having to look after a tiny human by myself.
If they didn't show it on insta I really hope they realize how privileged they are compared to other parents out there
