Nike Oshinowo Welcomes Twins Via Gestational Surrogacy!

EX beauty queen Nike Oshinowo is now the happy mum of a set of twins!

 She welcomed her twins via a gestational surrogate in the United States of America.

For those who are unfamilar with gestational carriers, the twins are biologically Nike’s children, though they were birthed by an another woman. There is no confirmation on the identity of the twins’ father as Nike and her husband Dr. Tunde Soleye ended their marriage months ago.

Nike has a medical condition called endometriosis –  which can cause severe pain and infertility. culled

*wow.Congratulations Nike…hmmmmmm

Gestational Surrogacy

The term "gestational surrogacy" refers to a treatment process, in which another woman ("gestational surrogate") undergoes the embryo transfer process, and then carries the pregnancy to term. The intended parents are involved with the pregnancy, are typically present at the birth, and take over parenting responsibilities immediately thereafter.

From a medical perspective, the process of gestational surrogacy is identical to egg donation/recipient treatment cycles. The only notable difference is that the gestational surrogate becomes the "recipient". Gestational surrogacy may be achieved with the intended mother's eggs, or with an egg donor. Analogously, the sperm can come from the intended father or from a sperm donor. Other in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures (such as ICSI or PGD) can be combined with gestational surrogacy.

The gestational surrogate is always known by the intended parents (never anonymous like egg or sperm donation). The gestational surrogate can be obtained from a surrogacy agency or can be someone you know, either a close friend or relative.Read the rest here
