I remember a woman over 50 years old in Utah, USA, who volunteered to be a surrogate mother when she saw her daughter-in-law having her uterus removed due to a traumatic delivery. On the 2nd of this month, after 9 hours of labor, I finally gave birth to my granddaughter, and I once felt that I was going to separate from the baby.
According to the Daily Mail, Nancy Hauck, a 56-year-old woman, gave birth last week to her granddaughter, Hannah, the daughter of her own son. She described the 9-hour delivery process as a "special spiritual experience", but it was not easy, after all, this was her second experience after 26 years, knowing that one day the child would leave the mother's body, and when she was about to give birth, she was really a little empty, saying that she would write a book to record this mental journey when she planned to recuperate.
Her son Jeff Hauck and daughter-in-law Cambria struggled for 6 years, and gave birth to twins through artificial insemination in 2021, but Cambria bleed heavily during childbirth, and the doctor had to remove the uterus in order to save her life, resulting in the couple unable to realize their dream of a "football team" in the future, before considering surrogacy. At this time, Nancy's decision brought about changes for the family, and in January this year, she began hormone therapy, with the help of her husband and son, injecting hormones into the body every day for up to 12 weeks, and the medical staff initially worried that she would not be able to perform due to menopause, and even she was afraid that she would be old and chronically ill, and finally the examination found that there was still a chance to conceive after implanting the embryo.
Cambria cut the 10-month-long process into a short video on Instagram, full of admiration and gratitude for her mother-in-law, saying, "Everything about Nancy is amazing, she embodies her sacred status as a woman, and no amount of words can describe my feelings..."
