A 31 year old white female presented with chest pain. Her heart rate was very fast, and it was determined she had SVT. She needed to be admitted to the hospital. No biggy.
Until...the pregnancy test came back positive. I went to go tell her the news (didn't know if it was going to be good or bad news for her). Her boyfriend was in the room. After I told her she was pregnant, her and her boyfriend had a long, entertained, Jerry Springer like discussion trying to figure out who the father was.
The lady was trying to become a surrogate mother. She had been inseminated AND had been having sex with the boyfriend (I bet that's not allowed when you are trying to be someones surrogate), so it was going to be impossible to figure out who was the daddy without DNA.
To top things off...she was a chain smoker and her drug screen was positive for marijuana, opiates, and benzo's.
Lesson to be learned: choose your surrogates closely.

Why is it that this woman can easily become pregnant, while others who would be careful, great parents cannot? Worse yet is that it just perpetuates an endless, nasty cycle. Sad...
Honey, believe me, when you're on Marijuana, Opiates and Benzo..you can get pregnant very quickly!
Holy crap! No, you are NOT allowed to have intercourse at all during a month when you are being inseminated for surrogacy. I am surprised though that that she was being inseminated then that would mean it was a traditional surrogacy (versus just gestation) which is very uncommon these days. Also most surros are required to take a drug screen at the REs office prior to being allowed to carry. Something(s) is not adding up here.
Cheater cheater, pumpkin eater! This woman hopefully is carrying her own child...still, hope her svt was easy to control...
This is soo sad! Can't believe people like this would be trusted enough to be a surrogate..
