Going from a home birth to an induced birth must have been so traumatic. I wish they had just let her wait until baby was ready, even if that was 42 weeks!Thanks. Just watched it. I feel so sorry for Charley. They seemed to sweep and induce etc v early for no reason and she didn’t want that. I wonder if S & F were wanting to get back home after staying there for two weeks?! Already had three really simple births. She must feel quite traumatised as must her family.
I get the impression as they were renting the house nearby they wanted baby asapGoing from a home birth to an induced birth must have been so traumatic. I wish they had just let her wait until baby was ready, even if that was 42 weeks!
Me too. They made all those video about 'waiting'. Baby would probably have come in its own time in another week or so, with less trauma for mum and baby. it's really common to go overdue, mine were 11 days and 14 days late. It's annoying but you just got to wait it out, unless mum or baby are in danger and then obviously intervention is needed!I get the impression as they were renting the house nearby they wanted baby asap

True, I'm sure that S and F couldn't have made her have the sweep, they could have encouraged it though. We don't know her full medical history so maybe there was a reason she needed the sweep. Carley isn't the biological mum or the intended parent but it is her body that the surrogate and therefore she holds the risks if something goes wrong. If there is a bleed for example she is in danger and the baby, not S and F. They have to consider her safety and health as well as the babies - what the intended parents want is less important.It’s really common that induction is offered/booked for around the due date now especially if there are high risk factors (age being one of these). It’s up to the pregnant woman to say yes or no- to advocate for herself during her pregnancy.
As much as I dislike Stuart and Francis I really don’t think they’d have had much involvement in this. The midwife team certainly wouldn’t have done anything to Carly on their say so.

No sorry she's just the vessel by which the baby arrivesIt’s really common that induction is offered/booked for around the due date now especially if there are high risk factors (age being one of these). It’s up to the pregnant woman to say yes or no- to advocate for herself during her pregnancy.

Oh I agree definitely- her health and safety is of higher importance than their immediate need for the birth. But let’s not take away the fact she chose to become a surrogate. They didn’t ask her, she offered it herself. It’s just speculation that pressure was put on her. It’s ultimately her choice whether she’s induced or not though.True, I'm sure that S and F couldn't have made her have the sweep, they could have encouraged it though.

All surrogacy and pregnancy related expenses would have been paid to her from them. This can even include things such as holidays for her family so she can recoup and have time with her kids. There’s no limits as far as the amounts as long as it’s seen as related to the pregnancyI wasn't meaning to imply they made the decision for her. It's just such a different experience for her than her other two and in the video she said she was resistant to being induced etc, and there didn't appear to be any worried re baby. (Speaking as someone who was induced for 4 days, 5 days overdue, and ended up with an emergency c-section 13 days overdue). I just wondered if she felt any pressure at all, knowing how performative they are. I would imagine they have gift her a sum of money? I don't think payment is legal in this country, but they are very wealthy and would surely pay something?
They may think its cute now. Wait till she is a teen and is a little rebel!Rebel.
They’ve called her Rebel.
ExactlyThey may think its cute now. Wait till she is a teen and is a little rebel!
Honestly Its a stupid name - Imagine that name when is is 30! It won't help her get a job either when she is older.
Horrible histories does this funny skit about Victorian names, making fun of how silly they were.Didn't know they had a thread.
But rebel why!!!!!?
So many beautiful baby girls names. Ones that start with the letter R as well.
