We’re back with Jamilah for the final chapter of her surrogacy journey! In this episode, Jamilah shares the emotional and physical experience of delivering her surrogate baby. From the anticipation and pressure of reaching 40 weeks for herself and the Intended Parents, to advocating for herself in the hospital, to the powerful moment of birth. 

And there’s an unexpected plot twist here that wasn’t planned but pulled things in full circle. She also shares about the unique postpartum experience of going home without a baby—Jamilah’s story is full of insight for anyone curious about surrogacy, birth, and the bonds formed along the way.
