Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 After my book came out, I began to receive comments about why I didn't go the surrogacy route. I felt like I was being asked to accept my body's failures. I had been diagnosed with adenomyosis one year before, with the gag being that I'd had it since my early twenties. #2 I had come off the pill in my early twenties, and had been prescribed birth control to regulate my period. But it caused the absence of a period, which many people mistake for their regulated period. I was never correctly diagnosed or treated for my endometriosis. #3 I was not ready to do surrogacy, so I continued to try and conceive on my own. I wanted the experience of being pregnant, and I wanted my heart to be in sync with the baby's. I envied how pregnant people were revered and loved upon. #4 I was fighting with my husband about what was best for my body, when he told me that he wanted me, but that we had lost too much in our relationship for him to be okay with encouraging me to do one more thing to my body and soul
