Lesbian Couple Makes Medical ‘History’ By Carrying The Same Baby In Their Bodies

I usually couldn’t care less about this kind of news, but that headline totally made my head spin. WUUUUUUT?

As it turns out, two lesbian chicks “made medical history” by both carrying the same baby in their bodies at different times. Basically, they–Ashleigh and Bliss Coulter– did the whole sperm donor thing but switched off lady parts during the process. I am not making this up.

The embryo was then placed inside Bliss, who acted as an incubator for the first five days, using a device that resembles a champagne cork.

Bliss did not want to carry a child, so the embryo was then removed and placed in 28-year-old Ashleigh.

And in June this year, their ‘perfect’ son Stetson was born healthy at 8lbs 4oz.

Ashleigh and Bliss met six years ago and married in June 2015.

Although they both hoped to one day have children, Bliss wanted a baby that was biologically hers but did not want to be pregnant.

In other words, one woman served as an incubator, and the other actually “baked” the baby. I think it’s wacked out. I mean, this process is iffy enough. Why are you messing around?

Usually, Effortless Reciprocal IVF involves the same woman donating her eggs and then carrying the embryo.

Because the egg and embryo came from Bliss and were then put in Ashleigh, this is a unique medical case. Dr Doody believes it is the first of its kind.

Once the embryo was removed from Bliss, it had to be frozen until Ashleigh had undergone the necessary hormonal treatments to carry a child.

Just ten days after the treatment began, Ashleigh discovered she was pregnant.

I really don’t have any commentary on this today. It just caught my attention, and I thought it was bizarre. You can look at the pictures of the baby here. He’s super cute.

As you were.
