@Jane how do you feel when people say “oh he has your nose” etc. it’s the little things that are getting to me is the weirdest thing!
I think it always makes you feel a bit funny, but more often than not it makes me happy. I also like to think some of my genetics did trickle in there too, so maybe it's not a total lie
@Jane I’ve been researching and they say the growth environment influences how the child will be and that the original person who grew the egg wouldn’t produce the same baby if she carried it instead. I found that really interesting, and reassuring. Do you forget about it most of the time? I’m wondering if it’s a constant thought whilst deciding but I’ve baby is here other things take up your headspace.
I think you do mostly forget, and when you consciously think about it, sometimes it's hard, and sometimes it's not. All I can say is that the love outweighs it all. It might be worth doing some counselling if its something you're actively considering, as I think that helps x
@Jane thanks Jane. I think it’s probably a bigger thought now that it would be later once the decision is made. I’m just reading that they can actually look like you too as although you can’t change the genes, how they are expressed is determined by the carrier and you have more influence than you think! 😊 You have been so kind replying, it’s good to talk with someone who knows! Xx
Anytime! Good luck with whatever you decide xx
As a mum of a donor egg baby, I hear all your fears, as I had them too, but I can 100% say that I couldn't love my son more 💗x
