Please do not judge. I am going to do donor egg and husband sperm. I am muslim and its very taboo. It isnt something i want anyone ever knowing NOT because I am adhamed but simply because of the ignorance around it. I am thinking to share with my child however very much scared of it coming out. Please help!

I am currently pregnant via donor egg and it’s a tough enough decision to make even without outside opinions.
It’s up to you who you do or don’t tell but I do hope you have someone to talk to as I found making the decision brought up a lot of things for me to work through.
My inbox is always open if you have any questions. Good luck 🤞🏻

I’m sorry you felt judged. There is definitely still a lack of understanding when it comes to donor conception and unfortunately people say things that are unintentionally hurtful.
Try and be gentle on yourself, you will make the best decisions you can with where you are on your journey. I keep telling myself I don’t need to have all the answers right now (which is hard for me, I like a plan 😉)
All I know is my child is so wanted and he will know how loved and cherished he is as I’m sure yours will be, I just needed a little help to get there
