Third Trimester
I am currently halfway through my third trimester, at 33.5 weeks. We’ve had some recent setbacks, as I’ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It’s been pretty frustrating because I am doing everything they instruct, and my sugars are still all over the place. This is very new to me, as I did not have it with my two children. We’re still working on controlling the sugars and the baby and I are monitored very closely now, with weekly appointments. The IPs will be coming up in a couple of weeks to attend another ultrasound in person. We’re all looking forward
Second Trimester
Well, the second trimester is here and my belly popped out SO fast. I had bought some clothes for the “inbetween phase” where I am just a little bigger, but don’t look pregnant yet.

Drug screening was right around the corner, plus background check was super fast. Anytime during the application process I asked question via email, response was received within 24 hours which speaks great volumes.

The Pre-Screening Process with NYSC
Lemme tell you a lil' somethin about... pre-screening. Initially, I had gone through "Surrogacy Is" for my advocacy and gateway into the world of surrogacy. They set me up with a few options, and ultimately, New York surrogacy Center is the one that I chose. I am forever happy with that decision. Joe and Shanika were there with me every step of the way. Whether it be early in the morning or late at night; I would get an answer to all of my questions. Starting with the application process, I would have to say it could not be more
