Transcript: Callie Megel, Intake Coordinator at Bright Futures Families Surrogacy, here for Ask Question. And today's question is: What is the typical process during the time directly after baby is born?
Well, that's the end goal right? So that's celebrated. That's amazing that you've made it this far. The process is really quite simple. If delivery went great, hopefully you get to go home soon on the doctor's releases but you kind of just go home and relax and return to your daily life. It might involve some pumping and managing that but usually the case managers from the agency really take care of you and making sure that you are well supported. They do look into making sure all those bills are paid through, you know if it's coming from your OB or the hospital but that's pretty much the process.
Usually, you go home and intended parents go home with baby and hopefully it's happy, healthy everyone. But if there's any complications you reach out to your case manager directly and they will handle it all.
