Lauren |
29-year-old mother to be, who recently found out she is pregnant with her first child has revealed how how it all came about.
The expectant mom, Lauren, went against doctors and her religious family's advice,to finding herself a sperm donor.
Lauren who has never before had s3xual intercourse, hails from Manitoba,Canada and is said to be elated about the news. She is said to be particularly happy because she will not have to be in a relationship before having a child.
The expectant mom said she is excited to be alone and plans to remain a virgin for the rest of her life.
As part of her pregnancy journey, Lauren is said to suffer from hypopituitarism; a rare disorder that affects a person’s hormones, which she has been dealing with since her early life.
''I was born with hypopituitarism, which means my pituitary gland is not formed properly. It doesn’t send the right hormonal messages to the other glands in the body, like the adrenaline gland or the ovaries''.
Lauren’s disorder caused delay in the occurrence of puberty, she faced lot of bullying from her peers as a result of this.
''I got teased for being flat chested or having buck teeth. Kids would latch on to anything that was different. A lot of that teasing has given me social anxiety to this day. My life started improving when I started looking like everyone else''.
Lauren has reiterated that she has no interest in dating, although she has been on a couple of dates, but realized it was not something she would like to get into.
Despite all the stress accompanied with her earlylife as a student and in the dating scene, Lauren admits getting pregnant was the most difficult challenge she has ever been through.
''The hardest thing was probably getting pregnant. Initially my endocrinologist said it won’t happen, that I’ll need to get an egg donor and spend tens of thousands of dollars on IVF. I felt really shut down''.
Lauren is happy to have been referred by her doctors to a clinic where after one year she was able to finally conceive via In vitro fertilisation. Lauren who is from a highly religious family made it clear that her choice of manual conception had nothing to do with her beliefs.
